Sospiri

Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo), with Bryn Terfel, with Juan Diego Flórez, with Cinzia Maurizio, Luigi Piovano & Daniele Rossi

Les Musiciens du Louvre, Il Giardino Armonico, Wiener Philharmoniker, Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Orchestra La Scintilla, International Chamber Soloists & Orchestra La Scintilla, Coro dell'Accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia & Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Marc Minkowski, Giovanni Antonini, Claudio Abbado, Myung-Whun Chung, Alessandro de Marchi, Adam Fischer

Cecilia Bartoli is loved the world over for vocal fireworks and spectacular coloratura, but she is also adored for her spine-tingling pianissimi and her ability to shape endless, velvety phrases. For the first time, this product will focus on the irresistibly sensual side of Cecilia Bartoli's art. It has been conceived as a popular “mood” or lifestyle compilation — presenting quieter arias showcasing Cecilia's vocal beauty, sensuality and emotion. “Sospiri” is designed to present this most accessible aspect of Cecilia Bartoli's art to the broadest popular-classical market.

“Sospiri” will contain favourite arias by Mozart and Handel, bel canto jewels by Bellini and Rossini and treasures by Vivaldi as well as music which Cecilia Bartoli has “rediscovered” on her recent record-breaking solo albums.

For Cecilia’s existing fans, the Prestige Edition includes a previously unreleased aria and world premiere recording of Vinci’s Cervo in bosco, one of Farinelli’s calling card arias.

Both formats include a new interpretation of Rosina's aria Una voce poco fa, from Il Barbiere di Siviglia - the dazzling aria of young love, the role in which Cecilia Bartoli first shot to international stardom. She infuses this new interpretation with all her knowledge of the baroque and classical tradition on which Rossini’s music was founded, her experience of period practice and critical reading of the manuscripts, together with a playfulness and variety of colors which she has acquired over the years. On this track recorded during the Maria sessions Cecilia Bartoli is accompanied by a fantastic period practice orchestra, Orchestra La Scintilla.

Een must have voor iedere Bartoli fan!

Cecilia Bartoli behoeft al lang geen introductie meer. Ze is de mezzosopraan die nimmer de makkelijkste weg kiest en haar publiek toch altijd weer betovert met bijzondere programma’s. Nu is haar omvangrijke discografie en dadendrang in een notendop bijeen gebracht. Twee cd’s in een luxe verpakking met de absolute top van haar vocale kunst, enkele niet eerder uitgebrachte tracks en een aantal duetten met onder anderen Bryn Terfel, Luciano Pavarotti en violist Maxim Vengerov.
