Funny that she says "castratos" & not "castrati."

[trrill]

...and, in a different video I have, "kuh-STRAY-tohz."

[wienduallein]

Great! can't wait! Welcome back in baroque times!!!!

[CubbyNH]

[MissPatchez]

@elsspoel What ever is up your butt needs to come out. Enjoy beauty and art, and enjoy the place she is at, and where she has come from La Cenerentola at AGE 20, not the lack you seek to find...

The last time I saw "Castrato" it was on my plate in a restaurant near Molinella in Italy. It was delicious !

This Cecilia Bartoli may sing relatively well (certainly not superb) but the "artwork" used for her album is imho rather offensive as far as it may concern "good" taste and or publicity for Italy.

[ceciliafan1]

that first picture is very fierce. i love it!

[buelligan123]

I would rank Opera Probita number one as well, what a wonderful wonderful cd.

[hollyworange]

The lowest price that I found in Italy is 17 euro! But in many music store it's about 20 euro

Poor Italians! Instead of being proud of there best people..! But jealousy is a terrible thing! I like her anyway and all my italian relativs too!

:-) Questo cd? a parte il fattto del canto, a parte il fatto che si crede che automaticamente la parte da castrato oggi debba farsi dalle contramezzo, pare che sia lei che abbia scoperto i castrati; e non solo, anche nel cd di vivaldi album, dal tenore delle scritture incluse nel libretto accompagnatorio, pare che sia lei a scovare le partiture con ricerche in biblioteche... fa tutto lei, forse era meglio si dedicasse a repertori post.barocchi

[goldenugola]

Appunto per fortuna. Questo non è cantare. Che schifezza questo CD, non ci capisce una parola, e poi che orrenda voce

[Deepdesert]

just got the cd it is very good, even though the cover artwork is a little weird...

[15platinum]

Is it just me or does she not end up looking like Michael Jackson in the cover picture???

I'm sure i will like the CD anyway.
