Recording of the Week, Vivaldi from Cecilia Bartoli and Ensemble Matheus

23rd November 2018

Nearly twenty years after her landmark album devoted to the operas of the 'Red Priest', the Italian mezzo is as dazzling as ever in arias from works including Orlando furioso, Il Giustino and Ottone in Villa.

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.

Reviews

March 2019

All the Bartoli hallmarks are here: the ear-popping virtuosity, the tenderness of voice, the ability not only to describe a situation but to respond to it, and the complex skill of painting a character in vocal terms. Characteristically some features fall on the minus side – for example, the occasional tendency for the words to disappear into high-pitched squeaks or odd vowel sounds - yet her interpretations are distinctive, deep and utterly compelling.

February 2019

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.

23rd November 2018

Bartoli’s wiry, astonishingly agile voice remains in pristine condition...Her trademark machine-gun coloratura continues to astound in arias like the opening ‘Se lento ancora fulmine’ from Argippo...In the half-dozen slow laments...the command of long lines which Bartoli’s developed in the course of projects like Norma really comes into its own, as does the additional muscle and bite which she’s acquired in the lower-middle register over the last decade or so.

30th November 2018

Bartoli’s medium-sized, but molten instrument still navigates coloratura flourishes with a precision and secure pitch that many other mature singers would envy. An early tendency to breathe notes into being has been tamed, and her dramatic gifts are as strong as ever.
