Music reviews of Cecilia Bartoli - If You Love Me (Se tu m'ami ), 18th-Century Italian Songs

Music Review: Kudos to Bartoli & Fischer for great disc of hard to find bel canto songs!
Rating: 5 Stars

It just isn't that easy to find Paisello. Scarlatti isn't as widely recorded as he deserves to be, and Bartoli and Fischer have made some other fine selections, too! Don't be concerned that this is a piano and voice recording, Gyorgy Fischer makes his pianoforte do all of the work the instrument is designed to do. Sometimes it sounds almost like a harpsichord -- I looked to see if one was listed and if it was there, I couldn't find it. At other times, Fischer uses the full range of the pianoforte.

I'm going to look for recordings by him with piano and orchestra.

Fischer's accompaniment is soft and limpid where it should be, leaving room for all the tonal qualities of Bartoli's voice to come through, and strong and vivid when it's the piano's turn.

Bartoli sings these selections with feeling, and with a precision that keeps them from going over the top. (If someone has seen a recording of her at the end of one performance of Cenerentola where she sang well and didn't let her energy die, but also was not, for some reason, able to control her performance as well as usual, don't worry: her voice is beautifully produced throughout and never rushed. Even the best of us have the occasional off day.) This recording represents some of the best work I've heard from Bartoli. She uses some gorgeous trills, runs and arpeggios, but neither does her ornamentation get in the way of the songs.

Near the end of "Arminio, opera: Pur dicesti, o bocca bella" she puts in, for example, a gorgeous trill, but with a controlled dimenuendo I found very impressive indeed.

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is bel canto!

The disk comes with a nice Italian - English translation of each song. (The translations do not repeat every line of text every time she sings it, but her diction is very clear here, and I don't think that loses anything.)

Description of Cecilia Bartoli - If You Love Me (Se tu m'ami ), 18th-Century Italian Songs

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
The 17th-century Italian art song repertory traditionally reserved for novice singers is given new life via Bartoli's artistry. With impeccable diction and evocative phrasing, she captures every innuendo of these simple, but passionate, pieces. No two repetitive phrases are alike; she chisels every line into a landscape of interpretive magnificence. Scarlatti's simple "O Cessate di Piagarmi" becomes a testament of innocent pain and plaintiveness. Giordano's "Caro Mio Ben" is transformed into a tender cry for love. All embellishments are imaginative and well executed. Accompaniment by György Fischer is equally appealing, sensitive and precise. Every singer questing for the art of singing should study these. --Barbara Eisner Bayer
