Oeuvre: Jules César en Egypte (Giulio Cesare in Egitto), HWV 17: Presti omai l'Egizia terra

Iestyn Davies shows how to make every word count in a fairly standard sampler of Baroque arias; Ticciati is a fireball on the podium with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Musical impressions of Julius Caesar delivered with more flair, energy and virtuosity than one might expect on a Sunday morning! 

As part of 'London Unwrapped', countertenor Iestyn Davies presented vocal portraits of the altos – male and female – for whom Handel composed in the capital.
