Thank god this beauty can still exist in this often terrible world.

If there is a singer on this planet who is better at what he does than Andreas Scholl, I can't imagine who it is. He is simply in a class by himself and never fails to deliver a superlative performance!

A link to this heavenly duetto was among our wedding gifts. The gifter passed away several years ago, yet the memories remain as well as our family.

Two voices like bells, ringing in harmony...No, that's not accurate...Bells wish that they sounded this lovely. Incomparable beauty. (Their voices too!)

Their voices match perfectly well. Wonderful!!

Great performance

My favourite singers of baroque music! Thanks for posting this video!

Two voices perfectly complimenting each other. Sublime.

Their voices are beautifully matched and suited to each other.

Both of their voices are perfect for this rep. and they blend beautifully. Well matched casting! And beautiful production.

angelic voices in perfect harmony, this is the best performance ever and a perfect match made in Heaven!!! Sublime every time.

I just finished watching this on DVD -- the whole thing ROCKS! If you haven't seen all of it yet, go get it -- seriously, it's fantastic!

I have loved Scholl's work for years but hadn't heard of Dam-Jensen because I've been out of the opera world for a long time now. Their voices together are one of the most exquisite sounds I have ever heard but so is each of their voices alone. Wow. So glad I came across this today!

Prachtig.

Rarely is a soprano voice as pleasant and yet dominant as that of Inger Dam Jensen! Even the great Andreas Scholl is only second with her!

IN ADDITION TO A MARVELOUS VOICE MR. SCHOLL POSSESES THE MOST WONDERFUL STAGE PRECENSE

Great Handel performing!

It is exceedingly beautiful. What a wonderful aria performed with passions and a touch of warmth by these two great artists.

This is absolutely wonderful. Not heard Inger Dam Jensen before her voice is effortless and Mr Scholl as usual amazing

I think the costumes and the setting add a sense of purity/serenity and peace now that all the evil has been defeated. It might be minimalism, but a central point of minimalism is to express as much as possible, while "doing" as little as possible. I think they succeeed well here. Besides, they are both quite good at singing. I do like Dam Jensen best here, though. Of course, she is my favorite soprano so that might be why:P

Great duet and performance.

Takie piekne.Slucham i ogladam wiele razy.

A wonderful performance.

Superb in every way

Bravo. Inger is one of my favourite Sopranos. Clarity, pitch perfect and true warmth. This performance is sublime.

This is quality music-making!

This piece is absolutely divine! And magnificently sung as well...

Thank you

They sound wonderful together! chris

2:44 to 3:06 = perfection. As well as the dissonance at 4:38 held extra long. Sublime performance.

Мой любимый Шоль!!браво.великолепно!

countertenor plus soprano is bliss

Inger Dam-Jensen won the Cardiff Singer of the World Competition in 1993, two years after her stage debut, and has appeared regularly at the Danish Royal Opera for many years. I saw her perform Ophélie in Thomas' "Hamlet" here in Copenhagen in 1995 and she was wonderful.

Какой великолепный дуэт!

I'm so going to buy this.

Very fine performance. Andreas and sounds looks good, he has filled out well. Ms. Dam-Jensen sounds quite good. I've not heard here before and am quite impressed! I'm not a fan of minimalist production, but at least the staging doesn't have them hanging upside down out of a window to express "fragility or danger." The singing is first-rate, which why one goes to or listens to opera in the first place...or it SHOULD be!

Divine

No hay palabras para describir tanta belleza. Gracias por compartir!

Sublime-thank you for posting

Wow they sounded wonderful together! chris...

I was fascinated

i cant write much of a comment on this as ive pretty much melted into a pile of ecstatic goo! wow....

oh my god how handsome he is

exellent performance!

A.SCHOOL IS THE LUCKIEST BLOKE SUPERB C ONTRATENOR HE WENT ON TO PLAY CEASAR WITH CECILIA BARTOLI!!!!!!!! IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PRODUCTION WOW. WHO,WHO ELSE BUT LE ROI.........SCHOLL

MAGNIFICO!!! BELLO!!!

bravo! bravo!! bravoooo!!

Although there have been some remarks about Scholl's limited stage-presence, he acquits himself here in his usual heroic form. Next time he will be better, and also the time after that. He is a handsom man whose voice and demeanor were made for the opera

bravo!

i ve been waiting for this for so long thank you very much

beautiful

Transcendent!

Så vackert. Så fulländat!

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE

wonderfull

Encantador

mooi

Recitativo:Goda pur or l'Egitto in piu tranquillo stato la prima libertà. Cesare brama dall' uno all'altro polo il gran nome romano spanda la fama.

He's a dancer, he appeared twice during the performance.

@marchesano Yes, he has filled out and it's about time. He was too thin

Well, dancing was a much more important part of opera performances than it is now. There was dancing during all the instrumental parts, of which there were many in some operas (Rameau's, for instance). So opera is about singing, rather than dancing. And it wasn't always so.

I thought this was 2007? I only see 2007 on amazon

It's an opera and all about people singing, as opposed to dancing.

It is a pity that Andreas almost did not sing in the opera during the heyday of his voice (1993-2007). It's a disaster. He's as good as Daniels.

Her ringing soprano overwhelms his voice. That's the problem with the counter-tenor voice. Male altos can not achieve the volume of female sopranos.

Un bel contralto no?

A SEIS QUE LES ENCATA EL REGUETÓN... Y ODIAN LA BUENA MÚSICA.

I am really disappointed because of these minimalist customs and stage decorations. While they add nothing to the music, the create an alien atmospheare. It would be fascinating to see these peaces in original baroque setting!

Beautiful music and voices, but what a God-awful nightmare of a set. Postmodern relativism is destroying opera.
