MORE INFORMATION
Decca Classics has assembled some of Cecilia Bartoli’s finest recordings, bonused with previously unreleased material, for a celebration of the operatic genre that has defined her career: bel canto.
Across her nearly four decades on the opera stage, coloratura mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli has proven to the world that bel canto is a more wide-ranging approach to Italian vocal music than generally assumed. On Casta Diva, Bartoli draws on her famous charm, dramatic intensity, and energetic force to reveal that behind the vocal fireworks, bel canto is a musical style that opens up a beautiful and deeply emotive musical world through a sound and well-controlled technique.
Included are unreleased recordings of two arias from Handel’s Alcina as well as duets with Luciano Pavarotti, Bryn Terfel, Juan Diego Flórez, Sumi Jo and Alessandro Corbelli.
Bartoli’s partner for previously unreleased recorded excerpts from Handel’s Alcina is her own orchestra of period instruments, Les Musiciens du Prince-Monaco, conducted by Gianluca Capuano.
