'Julius Caesar' 5 / Händel 'V'adoro pupille' * V MASTERSON * J BAKER * ENO * [in English]

I love the instrumental echoing of the melody... so beautiful, so sad....

Thanks. I clearly wasn't careful in my search. I've just been listening to more of your postings from this disc. Done in the days when they sang clearly at ENO - gone for ever, I fear.

No problem! I've never been to the ENO, just have seen and heard them on DVD, but yes - they certainly sang so clearly in those days - one could dispense completely with having a libretto at hand. I also especially love 'Mary Stuart' with Dame Janet Baker (also uploaded several clips from that production on YouTube).

Love the translation. Anyone know who did it?

Hi there! From my info box posted below the video:

' This version uses an excellent English translation by Brian Trowell of the libretto from the Italian original by Nicola Haym. '
