Superbe. magnifiquement touchant. Toujours un abruti pour ne pas profiter du temps suspendu à la fin et beugler "Bravissimi" trop tôt.

Mamma mia quanto è bella la Musica di Handel 😊👑🎼🎶🎶❤🎻🎹🌅🌌🙏🤗

A superlative performance by Sofie von Otter and Philippe Jaroussky. This aria shatters my heart.

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life.

Uno dei duetti più emozionanti della storia dell'Opera

Einfach nur magisch, ein unglaublicher Moment

Господь Всемогущий! Я, когда слушала это прекрасное исполнение, просто забыла, что надо дышать....Браво!!!!

This magical performance of Giulio Cesare in Egitto is possibly the best performance of this opera ever undertaken. The staging is dodgy but every Handel fan should have this on DVD. The music and the performances are exceptional. All the soloists are stars in their own right; Scholl, Bartoli, Von Otter, Dumaux and of course Jaroussky. It's a must have DVD

Dieser Musik-Ausschnitt stammt aus der Inszenierung bei den Salzburger Festspielen, die ich 2012 live erleben durfte.. Die gesamte Aufführung war ein voller Erfolg, eine Starbesetzung, das ganze Publikum bebte in den 4,5 Stunden. Dieses Duett war mit der Höhepunkt. Vieles hat man gesehen und gehört. Aber selten habe ich eine so professionelle Darbietung erlebt. Dieses Werk zählt zu den besten Stücken, die es gibt. Und man staune, "Caesare in egito" stammt von Händel!

L'une des plus belles pages de toute l'histoire de la musique. Haendel, le génie des émotions, a su percer comme nul autre le secret des douleurs et des bouleversements intimes. Ce duo entre une mère et son fils humiliés auxquels on vient de présenter la tête de l'époux et père décapité ne connaît pas l'usure du temps et nous rappelle que, dans un monde violent, cruel et dogmatique, l'amour est la voie (voix) vers la liberté. Bravissimo aux deux interprètes qui nous conduisent au bord des larmes.

I could feel the emotions, the sadness and the pain in the song I feel connected to the music that my tears started to drown like a river

This was an operatic performance. I loved the Stutzmann Jarousski concert performance of this duet also. There is a bigger difference in timbre of the singers. But both are beautifully heartfelt and exquisitely rendered.

Это гипноз... Это эстетический оргазм... Это - волшебство гениальной музыки и великолепного исполнения! БРАВО!!!!

This is the best version of the duet I ever heard, perfect timing and absolutely convincing acting of the singers. The sound of the two voices together is simply heartstopping beautiful. Jaroussky has never sung better.

Simplesmente maravilhoso.... Quanta dor expressa na forma de canto... tudo perfeito....Divino...

Que maravilla, se me salieron las lágrimas de emoción.

Este hermoso dúo es tan bello que hace hasta daño...

no tengo duda de que este dúo puede ser uno de los más bellos de la historia de la música y en concreto esta interpretación de estos dos genios de la voz. BRAVI!

It's the best version of the duet for me too. Among other things (like beauty of line and tone) these two artists are so attentive and attuned to each other that it's almost possible to forget the awful scenery which surrounds them. Their inner dignity of expression and feeling is a joy to behold. Those individuals who hear ''screeching'' and ''squealing'' where there is none have heard too much of Nella Anfuso lately.

La musica è proprio divina. Ma quanto nobile è Anne Sofie von Otter! Una vera imperatrice.

...qualcosa di magico! Chi si trova in sala in queste particolari circostanze dove tutto, ma proprio tutto funziona... beh... BEATO LUI!!!!

Einfach genial die Beiden, eine der besten Interpretationen Philippe Jaroussky und von Otter. Ich hatte die Inszenierung in Salzburg erlebt, was für eine Stimmung ❤

Quelle sensibilité dans l'interprétation ! Merveilleux !

Stunning and magnificent. The female characters fate into white slavery is harrowing. Otter and Jarousky are magic. What about the audience reaction at the end. "Bravissimi" indeed.

maravillosos ambos!!!! que sensibilidad exquisita!!!

C'est tellement Beau ! Que s'en est trop Bouleversant... Magnifique Interprétation de la Part de PHILIPPE JAROUSSKY !!!

: merveilleux Hendel celui d'hier ,aujoud'hui et demain,rien ne peut affecter cette sublime musique et ce duo d'une tendresse bouleversante en est le temoignage

haendel probablemente el mejor compositor de todos los tiempos

Beautiful. Makes me cry.

Von Otter es verdaderamente extraordinaria.

Unbearable. Incredible. Impressive. Emotional. And new! The two of them and the orchestra. Best bit of the entire production. *snif*

Gotta love madam von Otter :)

Une émotion intense grâce à deux interprètes d'un immense talent qui servent admirablement Haendel !

Emocionante!

si, por mas que la escuches ,,, es preciosa.

Splendide !

I was moved by this performance, absolutely beautiful!

Mi commuove, fa tremare al interno...grande canto e al di la. Versione fantastica! Mi inchino con gratitudine

Bravo!! Escucho una y otra vez el aria y la amo mas

Makes me cry every time I listen to this.

Wow, such a magical performance so perfectly executed.

Grazie mille per questo video!

que d'émotion!! tout simplement magnifique !!!!

Bravísimo!! Sentí cada momento, cada gesto, cada voz. 😍

Took so long to find another masterpiece on YT...awesome!

on eof the most amazing settings. outstanding performance both of them, and the whole concept, i just fell in love with this

Bravissimo!

Absolutely beautiful!

Arte en su expresión más excelsa...

великолепно!!!слов нет!❤️❤️❤️

best version I know!

Che meraviglia

meravigliosi

Une merveille!

Brilliant!

When slow, sad and tragic music ends applauding should be suspended for a while. Just to increase dramatics and sadness of the moment. That Bravo at the exact end of Duet is just preposterous. How ever, great performance. Bravo!

Que peux t'on rêver de mieux et de plus abouti?

Incomparable

Superbe.

Merveille ! Merci. (je parle de l'interprétation, pas de la mise en scène, décors et costumes : grotesques)

Lovely.

BELLO

pur bonheur merci

This is one of my favorite operas and I saw the livestream from Salzburg on MediciTV or Arte, I don't remember. By the time this duet started I was ready to close the LS, so much the production was trash and Sholl weak. Needless to say, these two made me to watch till the end in a perfect transfiguration state. If that's not perfection, I don't know what it is.

Ik vind deze uitvoering erg dramatisch en intens, vooral von Otter raakt me hier,rillingen!

And did I mention the genius of Händel yet? :)

Not yet - but it's obvious! :)

Philippe Jaroussky and Anne Sophie von Otter, right?

qui dirige ? ils sont très bien mais ma version préférée reste celle si sobre scéniquement de "stene / semmingsen au danish opéra

Encore une fois ému aux larmes .....

If some people like this rendition more than any other, this doesn't make them ''idol fanatics''. They have simply a different opinion and perception than yours. is this supposed to be such a problem?

names of the singers? Yaroussi and ...

You should put the names of the composer and the singers at least.

que maravilloso *0* que ópera es?

Comment ne pas aimer.......

J'ai longtemps cherché la raison de cette mise en scène trash, jusqu'à ce que je lise "pauvre Hendel" et que la lumière jaillisse

Following the same logic, you should have written "there are versions with Sara Mingardo and Lorraine Hunt which I like more". - Do not even take notice of me, I'm just splitting hairs. :)

It's quite unfortunate that you had to delete your comments. After all, YT isn't a private fanclub page and there should be room for every opinion. But I guess that the internet distorts human behavior to quite ugly levels. My issue is that you said that ''everything that PJ sings is the best without question to his fans''. This could concern fanatics but not simple ''fans'' out there (truly liking a singer involves some lucidity about what he can and cannot do IMO).

Anne-Sophie von Otter, mezzo-soprano, singing with ___________?

Qué manera tan extraña de degradar algo sublime, y encima lo aplauden y magnifican, de locos!!

Beautiful, beatiful singing. The production looks horrid though. Luckily, it doesn´t matter, no matter what directors may think.

...pas seulement au bord...

Que le chant est beau!!!! Et cette musique divine! Mais pourquoi le ridicule de cette culotte courte/chaussettes blanches pour Philippe Jaroussky? Pourquoi ces jeunes femmes en soutien-gorge en fond de scène? Ce n'est pas laid, mais cela n'apporte rien à cette musique divine.... et on peut imaginer mille autres façons de lui rendre hommage sur la scène....! Heureusement que la belle et grande Anne Sophie n'est pas accoutrée de manière (trop) ridicule, elle!

Quien es la mujer

Strangely, you are the only person who "hears" it like this. I think you should have your ears checked - or your judgment. Sounds more like trying to fit the facts to your opinion to me.

Beautiful aria sung by two great artists. However, I must close my eyes to eliminate the horrid Eurotrash setting.
