About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Superstar mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli attacks this Grammy-winning collection of Vivaldi arias with her typical fiery zest. Drawn from superb operas rarely heard in their entirety, like "La fida ninfa" and "L'Olimpiade," the melodies veer between lyrical charm and blistering drama. Bartoli's ardent advocacy of this music should silence any critics who complain about the composer's lack of variety. Vivaldi's music offers much more than these deservedly popular instrumental suites, and Bartoli captures this wide emotional range, from the delicately pastoral "Zefiretti che sussurate" to the sprightly "Gelido in ogni vena" to the moving plaint "Dite Ohimè." More overtly dramatic than her previous recital recordings, the many fireworks on The Vivaldi Album -- from "Dopo un Orrida Procella" to "Di trombe guerriere" -- will grab your attention. The chamber ensemble Il Giardino Armonico provides sensitively pliant accompaniment, following Bartoli with turn-on-a-dime precision. Benjamin Ivry, Barnes & Noble
