From the DVD of the Giulio Cesare production in the Royal Danish Theater, 2005.
Composer: Georg Friedrich Handel
Libretto: Nicola Haym
Giulio Cesare: Andreas Scholl
Cleopatra: Inger Dam-Jensen
Cornelia: Randi Stene
Sesto: Tuva Semmingsen
Tolomeo: Christopher Robson
Curio: John Lundgren
Achilla: Palle Knudsen
Nireno: Michael Maniaci
Conductor: Lars Ulrik Mortensen
Concerto Copenhagen
This DVD has got to be one of the best recorded performances of a Baroque opera ever. The production is a little bizarre but it would have to be more so to detract from the quality of the singers' and musicians' performances.

I love the look on Sextus' face when he kills tolomeo :) I have always loved this aria. Its like one big sigh of relief! And its always good to see cornelia happy after being thrown around the stage for 3 acts!
