What were these other reviewers listening to! I am not a technical reviewer.I don't know many musical terms for what Ms.De Niese has done on this album. I only know that what I hear is an album of ravishing beauty.From start to finish,a masterwork.The orchestra under Sir Charles is the perfect accompaniment to Danielle's lovely voice.I won't single out arias because they are all done magnificently.Mozart as it was meant to be sung!Wolfgang ...             Cecilia Bartoli: Sacrificium11 reviews Various, Giovanni Antonini, ... Decca, 2009 Continues to impress in many ways Cecilia Bartoli is not only perhaps the loveliest voice I have ever heard, but she also does a service to opera. She delves into songbooks that would otherwise not be recorded or perhaps even be lost. From Salieri, to Opera Proibita to Maria. . . . and now Sacrificium. The songbook of The Castrata!! It is important to preserve such opera history and I applaud her delving into this less safe ...             Colbran, the Muse6 reviews Gioachino Rossini, Edoardo Müller, ... Virgin Classics, 2009 Colbran the Muse - DiDonato the Goddess! Fierce is just about the only word I can come up with so bowled over have I been by listening to this new disc from Madama DiDonato. It opens like gangbusters with the spectacular rondo "D'amore al dolce impero" from Armida - a very impressive way to open this recital, every minute of which is thrillingly AND gorgeously sung. DiDonato hurls her voice through coloratura that will practically ...             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces23 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ... Decca, 2001 Good times I just cant say enough about this collection. It used to be that you had to spend a fortune to get Mozart's best hits; a few on each album. Now, you can buy them all at once and dirt cheap! very nice             Porpora Arias featuring Karina Gauvin5 reviews Nicola Porpora, Alan Curtis, ... ATMA Classique, 2009 O Canada, what a soprano!!! Karina Gauvin sings better in every new recording. Just this year she dazzled with her Morgana in Archiv's new Alcina, and now she offers a very special recital with opera arias from Handel's London rival Nicola Porpora. This was a great idea. Porpora of course, is not as great a composer as Handel, rather like Salieri or Paisiello to Mozart, but not being that kind of genius doesn't mean that he ...             Cecilia Bartoli - If You Love Me (Se tu m'ami ), 18th-Century Italian Songs37 reviews Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Cesti, ... Decca, 1992 Awe inspiring Even for the non opera afficianado, these beautiful songs, rendered with exquisite style and grace and meticulous accompaniment,make for enthralling listening. I listen to this album more than any other I have ever owned. I simply never get tired of the songs. It is a true collection that builds one on the other. It becomes totally engrossing placing the listener in a world all its own.             The #1 Opera Album44 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Decca, 2001 The best gift ever. I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just loved it. This is the best of the best of all opera arias and performances. My sister plays it all the time, and I think it is ...             Mozart - Requiem / Augér, Bartoli, Cole, Pape, Wiener Phil., Solti22 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Georg Solti, ... Decca, 1992 Better than Bernstein Good buy. This Requiem version is wonderful and uplifting. Bought Leonard Bernstein's version some years ago. It moves so slowly and seems full of unrelenting angst--sounds more like Wagner than Mozart. If you like the music of Mozart's Requiem, this version is much more friendly.             Verismo16 reviews Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini, Pietro Mascagni, ... Decca, 2009 Vocal Gold Renee Fleming possesses a voice of rare beauty and the ability to shape it's possibilities into expressive luster at will. Some of the selections in this collection are rarities by also rans, but in the skillful vocal machinations of this remarkable interpretive artist, one wonders why these oddities aren't part of the established repertoire. In my view, Fleming is in many ways the Schwartzkopf ...             Cecilia Bartoli ~ Opera Proibita (Handel · Scarlatti · Caldara) / Les Musiciens du Louvre · Minkowski38 reviews George Frideric Handel, Alessandro Scarlatti, ... Decca, 2005 Cecilia at her best! when I started collecting Bartoli's album I first got "A Portrait", which is great for the Bartoli beginner. You can hear how she started and progressed through Mozart and Donizetti. However, I believe that she shines when it comes to baroque music. She is great Rossini singer but her passion really comes through in Baroque music and on this album. From the vocal fireworks to the passionate ...             Handel: Semele10 reviews Cecilia Bartoli, Liliana Nikiteanu Decca, 2009 Operatic production of an oratorio There is conjecture about this being an oratorio rather than an opera as it is based on an English opera libretto by Congreve. One train of thought suggests that, with opera waning in popularity, the oratorio form was needed for success to regain prosperity for the composer. That said the Zurich performance is most definitely in operatic form but the result is strange at times with the chorus ...             Cecilia Bartoli - The Salieri Album34 reviews Antonio Salieri, Adam Fishcer, ... Decca, 2003 Excellent album showcasing Bartoli's talents Album that does excellent job at showcasing Bartoli's talents. Also one of the few showcasing the works of Salieri, an underated and almost forgotten artist.             Rossini - La Cenerentola14 reviews 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 tone, to her phrasing, as well as her general delivery of the songs in her repertoire. This, the Houston Opera House ...             Cecilia Bartoli - Maria20 reviews Maria Maribran, Vincenzo Bellini, ... Decca, 2006 If half the stories about her are half true....... ....Maria Malibran must have been a real piece of work. And if the music written for her is any indication, she must have been an absolutely fabulous singer. Malibran was opera's first girl superstar, but her personal life kept getting in the way until her tragic death at 28. Her legend is sort of like "What if Amy Winehouse could actually sing"? A book I had some years ago of juicy tales about ...             La Sonnambula (Limited Edition Hardcover Book)16 reviews Vincenzo Bellini, Alessandro De Marchi, ... L'Oiseau-Lyre (Decca), 2009 Absolutely Delicious The griping and groaning of the reviewers about this recording just stun me. This is a splendid rendition of Bellini's score, outstanding in every department except possibly in the casting of the second soprano, the part of Lisa. I think Bartoli exactly right for the Amina; Bellini knew what he was doing. And the blending of the mezzoish timbre of Bartoli with the tenor of Florez is ...             The Ultimate Sacred Christmas Album ~ Ave Maria3 reviews Knut Sonstevold, Adolphe Adam, ... Decca, 2000 Awesome voices This CD is eloquent and so magnetically alluring. It begins with the ever so popular (sopranist) Ms. Leontyne Price's "Ave Maria" and finishes beautifully with the entire operatic voices of the English Choir in the song "Amen". I'm always floored by the voices of Ms. Leontyne Price and Mr. Jose Carrera. The instrumentalists and the great composing of many of the fine songs listed on this CD is ...             Cecilia Bartoli - A Portrait9 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gioachino Rossini, ... Decca, 1995 Very good singing! Cecilia Bartoli has a wonderfully rich, textured mezzo voice. This CD shows her skills to good effect. Some illustrative cuts. . . . "Voi che sapete" from Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" is richly sung. She displays a lush mezzo voice. This aria is smoothly sung; a very nice version. Her sumptuous voice interprets this piece nicely. A very satisfying version. From "Don Giovanni," we ...             Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)/ Bartoli, G. Quilico, Kuebler, Feller, R. Lloyd; ...13 reviews Cecilia Bartoli, Carlos Feller Arthaus Musik, 2003 Bartoli in "Il Barbiere" This Barber stars Cecilia Bartoli as Rosina, Robert Lloyd as Basilio, Carlos Feller as Bartolo, David Kuebler as Almaviva, with Gabriele Ferro conducting. I really enjoyed it, but would caution some of the purists that it contains some minor cuts, such as at the end of the opera, they've dropped the scene where Bartolo wishes Rosia and the Count happiness, and also, Fiorello's recitativo prior to ...             Cecilia Bartoli - Mozart Arias10 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Cecilia Bartoli, ... Erato, 1996 Rich full bodied delivery of superb selections of Mozart's art The rich full voice of Cecilia Bartoli really shines in these selections. I suspect that her native language of Italian is a contributing factor to the totally natural sound of her lyrics and voice. Bartoli has a dramatic flair that emerges in her delivery that seems perfect for the selections. The recordings are consistently beautiful. Bartoli is a mezzo-soprano with incredible range. Her warm ...             Cecilia Bartoli - The Vivaldi Album / Il Giardino Armonico42 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Antonini, ... Decca, 1999 Cecilia Bartoli brings Baroque music to life This album is so good that it has converted me to liking Vivaldi! I'm a fan of other Baroque composers such as Bach, Telemann, Couperin and Handel but had never really appreciated Vivaldi until I heard this album. Cecilia's technical experise and her intense interpretation makes this album a delight to listen to. She brings Vivaldi's arias to life as I've heard no other performer manage to do so. ...              search for popular music 18th-century, armonico, barbiere, caldara, cecilia, cenerentola, christmas, edition, essential, featuring, festival, giardino, greatest, hardcover, limited, masterpieces, minkowski, musiciens, porpora, portrait, proibita, rossini, sacrificium, salieri, scarlatti, schwetzingen, siviglia, sonnambula, ultimate, verismo popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
