Vivica Genaux - Vivaldi 'Pyrotechnics'

Vivica Genaux, star of Virgin Classics complete recording of Vivaldis opera Bajazet, follows her 2006 solo recital of Handel and Hasse with this brilliant new programme of Vivaldi arias, some never before recorded .
The dazzling arias in this programme some of which have never been recorded or, indeed, performed in concert illustrate the different phases and forms of Vivaldian pyrotechnics, exploring every emotion and the most diverse dramatic situations, and continually varying instrumentation, tonality and tempo. The composer of the Four Seasons, flamboyant as ever, sets his unique operatic stamp.

Great promotional piece for this CD.

This is true, but she is the only singer who can really do the coloratura in pretty much any Baroque piece (that we've heard) without looking like she's goin to kill over. Her Agility is dizzying. It has been said that she has the fastest voice in the world.

Tremendous....I think I am the one who is going to "keel over", the magnificence is simply dizzying....what she is able to bring forth, in both expression and technique is simply off my scale...OMG...

Thanks Vivica....for all of it....

@otagui1 and not every one speaks french, yet English seems like the universal language for things like these.

Spare me your ethnocentric bullcrap, I am not American by birth, so you can stop making assumptions about myself.

[otagui1]

@tenore23 no everyone is american either

Wonderful video. It is twenty minutes long because the promo video is first played only in French. Then the same videos is played again, at 10:57, but with English subtitles. So if you need the subtitles, skip the first eleven minutes.
