Cecilia Bartoli presents a brand new solo album: ‘Antonio Vivaldi’.
In 1999, Cecilia Bartoli unveiled her iconic ‘Vivaldi Album’. ‘The Vivaldi Album’ went gold in 6 countries and sold over 700,000 copies.
Almost 20 years later, Cecilia Bartoli returns to opera arias by the Baroque master. A selection of brand new recordings with Ensemble Matheus and Jean-Christophe Spinosi.
The Italian mezzo-cum-soprano has lost nothing of her famed agility and colouristic range, or her penchant for expressive extremes…At times I longed for more straightforward simplicity, more of her natural mezzo warmth. Yet even when one bridles at her mannerisms, she compels with her command of the long lines and her palpable emotional engagement
