I wished I had all this agility. I can't sing quick coloraturas, so all I can do is sit back and apreciate the beauty and the awesomeness of singers like Cecilia Bartoli. Because that's the best words I found to describe it: awesome.
I wish Bartoli had dubbed for the 1993 film Farinelli; about the most famous castrato of them all. They combined the voices of soprano Ewa Godleska & Derek Lee Ragin instead. Bartoli in the early half of the 90's wasn't yet internationally recognized; her professional career was just beginning to take off (by the late 90s she was famous). She has been singing opera since the age of 8. She has a great voice, is an intelligent artist and a fun, lovely humble person !
it gives me shivers every time I hear it, I am a classically trained singer myself and can not even imagine the possibility to ever sing this like Cecilia does, her voice and ability, in my opinion is the very best there is, she outsings all the great ones in my opinion.
at 5:30 and on i feel like i'm opening the french doors to heaven's back garden, at 7:00 and on i feel like i've been dropped off a cliff.. she never fails me..the louder the music and her voice, the more severe my goosebumps- they hurt! OWEEE!
I'm a counter tenor, and though I have the supposed range of a Castrato, I don't quite have the agility, they were meant to be able to do vocal back-flips xD listen to her sing agitata da due venti, that was the kind of things that they were expected to sing easily, I can say from experience its incredibly hard to do xD
This sounds kind of manic. I think the aria would be more beautiful if she did a little less of vocal gymnastics. But I guess this is more impressive instead.
her male voice is only marble deep...she is beyond warble in her castrato's stony tawdry rags, she is gleamingly woman in the trilling. the great bird's wingspread della musica is soaring in Cecilia's voice!
Además, el disco me ha parecido súperbarato, 17 Euros por 2 CDs , una mini-enciclopedia sobre los castrati, unas excelentes notas explicativas, libretto completo...
Por supuesto, felicitar también a Il Giardino, por su magistral acompañamiento de estas deliciosas arias. Sin duda, un tándem excelente, el de Cecilia-Antonini. Ojalá se produzcan más colaboraciones futuras entre estos dos titanes, dignos herederos de Orfeo !!!
Maravillosa interpretación. Cecilia, como siempre, extraordinaria. En España sus seguidores somos legión, y, por fortuna, nos obsequia regularmente con su presencia. Bravo, Cecilia!!!!!!
Although the music seems a bit weak..her voice and talent makes up for it. This, together with the breath-taking "In braccio a mille furie" has really been an ear-opener for me. I would really never have thought I'd like this kind of music..or art. Thank you for expanding my horizon.
pero he de decir que aquí la vemos en todo su esplendor, con una comprensión maravillosa de la música, una ornamentación brillante, un da capo fuera de este mundo, vemos a una bartoli en todo su esplendor y en pleno auge... no puedo decir nada de farinelli, pero estoy seguro que la bartoli bien pudo enseñarle unas cosas, LARGA VIDA A LA REINA!
desde que la descubrí he estado completamente enamorado de cecilia bartoli, la considero la voz de dios mismo, es una verdadera fuerza de la naturaleza, sin embargo he de decir que el barroco no era en lo que más brillaba, aún cuando es, sin duda alguna, la interprete más virtuosa en por lo menos un siglo; su ornamentación no era la más adecuada, ni la forma de interpretación...

I read an article about this- she is emulating castrati. Problem with that : women sound nothing like men.
