This 3-CD Box Set of Handel's Giulio Cesare was recorded live in Vienna in November 2002.

Marc Minkowski provides a strong challenge [to other versions] with a performance that is strongly cast and which certainly gains in drama and sense of continuity from being recorded live.... It's certainly a version of this fine opera that any Handelian will want to hear. – Gramophone, Stanley Sadie
