Free Music Notes for Handel - Giulio Cesare / Jacobs
Free Music Review: One of Handel's best Operas. Give me his Oratorios.
Hit: 4 Stars
'Giulio Cesare' by Georg Friedric Handel is, according to the book of notes accompanying this recording of the libretto Italian opera is one of Handel's best. From what I've heard of Handel's operas, I certainly agree, escept that if I really want to listen to an Italian opera, I would go to Mozart or Verde (mostly Mozart). But I can't argue that this retelling of the Caesar and Cleopatra story is not a very nice addition to that heap of art.
The most interesting thing about this performance is that Jennifer Larmore does one of her 'trouser' roles here, singing the part of Julius Caesar. This fits the history of the work, as I believe a woman also played this part in the premier of the work.
Speaking as an amateur who is only interested in what sounds good to me, I tend to prefer Handel's oratorios to his operas, althought the arias here are clearly better than some of the dullish recitivs in some oratorios. But, I still believe Handel could turn Johnson's dictionary into a choral work and make it sound good.
So, Look to Judas Maccabacus' and 'Alexander Balus' if you like Handel's choral works.
Handel - Giulio Cesare / Jacobs Poster
This is one of Handel's most powerful scores--in which history, wonder of wonders, is hardly mangled at all--and Jennifer Larmore's singing in the title role, heading a strong cast, makes this version a must-own for anyone with an interest in this music. Conductor Ren? Jacobs has produced what amounts to a critical edition of Handel's score and has found the singers to do it justice. Barbara Schlick is a strong, believable Cleopatra, and Derek Lee Ragin's slightly whiny timbre is well-suited to the character of Ptolemy. Jacobs leads this dramatically engaging performance with thoughfulness and energy. --Sarah Bryan MillerClassical Music CDs
