For Cecilia Bartoli, critical esteem and mass-market appeal seem to go hand in hand. It's a combination that's not terribly common with classical musicians, but it seems especially improbable in the Italian mezzo's case, for she has not only sworn off easy-selling crossover projects but has also devoted herself to little-known music on some of some of her most popular recordings. Still, the core of her repertoire is the well-loved operas of Mozart and Rossini, and The Art of Cecilia Bartoli gathers selections from those as well as examples from the singer's more adventurous work. Beginning with excerpts from Bartoli's complete recording of Handel's Rinaldo, the disc also features arias from her recordings of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro and Rossini's La Cenerentola and Il Turco in Italia. The diva's daring side, however, comes out in selections from two of Bartoli's Grammy-winning discs: The Vivaldi Album and Dreams & Fables: Gluck Italian Opera Arias, both of which feature long-forgotten arias revived by Bartoli. Also included are duets and arias from Cecilia & Bryn, an album Bartoli made with tenor Bryn Terfel of music by Mozart, Rossini, and Donizetti. Others join voices with Bartoli, too: Countertenor David Daniels appears in a Handel duet, and, to close the album, Luciano Pavarotti sings along on two previously unreleased tracks: a Donizetti duet from L'elisir d'amore and Verdi's familiar "Libiamo" from Traviata. With music showing this dynamic young star at her best, The Art of Cecilia Bartoli illustrates just why she has captured the hearts -- and ears -- of opera lovers everywhere. EJ Johnson

Gramophone

The previously unpublished duets with Pavarotti are treasurable, especially those from L’elisir d’amore where...Pavarotti sings with boyish charm and she with careful characterisation.
