  • I find the tempo perfect. And Lucia Popp was a superlative Handelian. 

  • Very good performance perheps only supplanted by Kirkby´s one!

  • Always a pleasure to listen to.

  • She's a really great singer. I wish she sang it in italian.

  • Breathtaking beauty and elegance. Perhaps Fritz Wunderlich thought so too. He was in the cast as Sestus in this 1965 performance in Munich.

  • I really like the faster tempo and Caesar as a bass-baritone, even though they're kind of stylistically incorrect (especially the latter).

  • Fabulous voices both.

    Kleopatra:

    Ich bete euch an, ihr Augen,

    Ihr Liebspfeile,

    eure Blitze

    erfreuen meine Brust,

    Um Erbarmen bittet euch

    mein trauriges Herz

    das euch stehts

    sein allerliebstes nennt.

  • Charming, but the far-too-fast tempo detracts from the almost overbearing sensuality of the music. Listen to the Sills/Rudel version. This is almost a jingle.

  • A pity the voice is so distant. But of course dear Lucia makes you forget that with singing of this quality. She was lost to us far too early.
