Cecilia Bartoli

Cecilia Bartoli, Jean-Yves Thibaudet

Decca, 2002

An excellent recording of an outstanding recital.
Cecilia Bartoli is arguably the most promising coloratura mezzo-soprano on the world stage today, and this videorecording clearly highlights the Rome native's talent. The neoclassical setting and brilliant acoustics of the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy complement ...

Cecilia Bartoli - A Portrait

Cecilia Bartoli

Decca, 2004

Superb, intimate, entertaining.
The original tape of this new DECCA DVD was released in 1991 when Cecilia Bartoli was only 34 years-old. It's time to upgrade, and this DVD is worth every penny. "A Portrait" is appropriate and descriptive of what you get here. Divided into two parts, one part ...

Mozart - Cosi Fan Tutte / Harnoncourt, Bartoli, Nikiteanu, Zurich Opera

Cecilia Bartoli, Liliana Nikiteanu

Arthaus Musik, 2001

The dance of life
`Cosi fan tutte' is as rich as life itself and this production does it justice. Production really is the word, because the performance offers much more than excellent singers and fine orchestra. The stage direction, sets, and costumes deserve as much praise as the ...

Old Rococo: The Life Of Gioacchino Rossini
Joan Sutherland, Cecilia Bartoli

KULTUR VIDEO, 2008

Shot on location in Italy, this fascinating documentary tells the story of the greatest Italian opera composer of his day, author of the most popular of all comic operas, The Barber of Seville, a wealthy, successful, prolific composer, who, at the age of 37, suddenly gave up writing for the stage. The programme asks why this happened: it ...

Mozart - Requiem

Arleen Augér, Cecilia Bartoli

Decca, 2004

Auger's Requiem
This DVD is a performance of Mozart Requiem to celebrate the composer's Bicentenary. It is also the last performance of Arleen Auger, before she died tragically of cancer. It is an excellent recording on all counts, with Solti rounding off a superb interpretation.

Mozart - Don Giovanni / Gilfry, Polgar, Bartoli, Rey, Nikiteanu, Salminen, Widmer, Harnoncourt, Zurich Opera

Isabel Rey, Cecilia Bartoli

Arthaus Musik, 2002

Drama and comedy - This production has it all
It has been around a decade since I first listened to Don Giovanni and it has remained my favourite opera since. Mozart's operatic genius reached its zenith and did not surpass itself after Don Giovanni; and it is arguably his finest written opera, despite (or in spite ...

Rossini - La Cenerentola

Cecilia Bartoli, Enzo Dara

Decca, 2002

beautiful production, magnificent performances
I am a great fan of Cecilia Bartoli, and have been so, since this, her role as the title character, in Rossini's La Cenerentola. In my opinion, Bartoli is one of the most beautiful, dynamic and brilliant mezzo sopranos of our time. She has such a rich and beautiful ...

Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)/ Bartoli, G. Quilico, Kuebler, Feller, R. Lloyd; ...

Cecilia Bartoli, Carlos Feller

Arthaus Musik, 2003

A Must Own Five Star 'Barber'
'The Barber of Seville' - fast, fun, and, at times, frenetic, is well deserving of its title as the greatest opera buffa ever composed. When I was searching for a DVD of my favorite opera, there were quite a few choices available; this was the one I picked, despite ...

Rossini - Il Turco in Italia / Bartoli, Raimondi, Macias, Rumetz, Schmid, Welser-Most, Zurich Opera

Ruggero Raimondi, Cecilia Bartoli

Arthaus Musik, 2005

Delicious flirtations on a doll-like fantasy set... with bravura!
Rossini's froth and flirtations have an apparently endless appeal for many opera lovers. Certainly Rossini's way with explicating convoluted operatic plots that would defy the average soap opera is pure magic - and his ensemble pieces for singers are models of how it's ...

Paisiello - Nina / Bartoli, Kaufmann, Polgar, Galstian, Veccia, Fischer, Zurich Opera

Cecilia Bartoli, Jonas Kaufmann

Arthaus Musik, 2003

Forgotten name but heavenly music and performance
The name was quite forgotten for so long, especially as very rare opera performance was made. If Rossini is my most favorite composer, I would have think that the music belongs to him. There are so much similarities in the magnificent melodious music, that we may be ...

Mozart, Haydn

BBC / Opus Arte, 2004

A Superb Bartoli/Haydn/Mozart Budget-Priced 2DVD Set
