Music reviews of Cecilia Bartoli - Maria
Music Review: "She is One of a Kind ... Cecilia Bartoli ... Decca Records (2007)"
Rating: 5 Stars
Decca Records presents "MARIA" ---It's an absorbing tale Cecilia Bartoli tells --- She has the talent of not making anything sound that you've heard this before --- Cecilia is definitely one of a kind --- Her new recital is so brilliant that she makes this an art of special moments in the world of classical music --- From boldly plunging into every aria and then carving a distinct signature of her own --- The summation of her distinctive talents is she is one of the best today in the world of opera.
The Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli (born 4 June 1966, Rome) is an opera singer and recitalist --- She is best known for her Mozart and Rossini roles as well as for her performances of lesser known Baroque and Classical music --- Bartoli is considered a coloratura mezzo-soprano (Koloratur-Mezzosopran), with a highly individual timbre which she uses to great vocal and dramatic effect --- Though her timbre is quite dark, her tessiture is comparatively higher than those of other mezzos and therefore some speculate that she is a "soprano sfogato" --- She is one of the most popular (and one of the top selling) opera singers of recent years --- Bartoli is much liked by the concert going public for her lively, vivacious on-stage persona, while her lyric voice and investigations of other Baroque era music have given her considerable recognition even among the non-opera-going public.
Bartoli has developed repertoire suited to her voice --- In addition to Mozart and Rossini, she has been turning her attention to baroque and early classical era music of such composers as Gluck, Vivaldi, Haydn and Salieri --- In early 2005, she sang "Cleopatra" in Handel's "Giulio Cesare", a role written for a soprano, but which is in mezzo range --- As her voice has matured it has gained fullness and "largeness" it was earlier criticized for lacking --- She is generally considered one of the best mezzo-sopranos currently practicing --- In addition, she was honored with a medal from the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Description of Cecilia Bartoli - Maria
Cecilia Bartoli revisits the early Romantic era of Rossini, Bellini and their contemporaries and views the Bel canto glory days through the eyes of Maria Malibran: Romantic icon, Bel Canto muse, and the most extraordinary opera star of her time. Maria features 8 world premiere recordings including the prayer `Se il mio desir...Cedi al duol' from the long lost opera Irene by Pacini, and the aria `E non lo vedo...Son regina' by Maria's father, the famous Rossini tenor Manuel Garcia. Bartoli also presents the London version of Mendelssohn's `Infelice' for voice, violin solo and orchestra, where she duets with Maxim Vengerov. The album also includes popular favorites, such as Bellini's `Casta Diva' from Norma. Maria features an incredible variety of music. Mellifluous Bel canto delights are contrasted with regional flavors from around the world: from Spanish flamenco to Tyrolienne yodeling. The album exhibits Cecilia Bartoli singing in four languages: Italian, Spanish, French and English. She is joined by the period practice Orchestra La Scintilla, led by Hungarian conductor Adam Fischer.Classical CDs
