Even before Handel’s celebrated Giulio Cesare captivated audiences across Europe, Antonio Sartorio had already created his own magnificent setting of this timeless libretto. Now, 350 years after its Venetian premiere, experience this extraordinary work as it was meant to be heard – performed on period instruments in its first modern production. Conducted by Attilio Cremonesi, this live recording from the Innsbruck Festival reveals a composer of remarkable inventiveness: 55 exquisite arias and duets that illustrate the emergence of the High Baroque vocal tradition. With a magnificent continuo ensemble and a richly orchestrated accompaniment, Sartorio’s Giulio Cesare in Egitto represents an important link between the vocal art of the Renaissance and the forthcoming masterpieces of opera.
