JULIUS CAESAR - George Frideric Handel (Trailer) | Janet Baker | English National Opera

Composed by: George Frideric Handel Directed by: John Copley Conducted by: Sir Charles Mackerras Soloists: Janet Baker, Valerie Masterson, Sarah Walker Participant: James Bowman, Della Jones, John Tomlinson, Orchestra/Chorus/Bellet: Chorus and Orchestra of the English National Opera Dame Janet Baker, in one of her greatest roles, leads a cast of some of Britain’s finest interpeters of baroque opera and their performance under the baton of Sir Charles Mackerras is one of the highest musical excellence. John Copley’s acclaimed English National Opera production was restaged in studio, skilfully using all the technical advantages offered, to create this top quality recording. The opera was first performed in 1724 at the Haymarket Theatre in London using castrati singers in the heroes’ roles. This production follows modern practice in using women in these parts. Dame Janet’s virtuoso role as Julius Caesar has been heralded as a masterful recreation of the music which Handel wrote for the finest singers of his time.
