Summary: Bartoli's Power of Seduction
Review: Birds and Goddesses have every right to be envious of this woman's ability to express emotion through song. Men have every right to be seduced by her powers. Her dark hair and dark brown and bright eyes reflects all that is good in the world. Every sylable she sings surrenders to such beauty as to make me believe there is a wise and just God, and a God who loves song.

Summary: An excellent recording of an outstanding recital.
Review: Cecilia Bartoli is arguably the most promising coloratura mezzo-soprano on the world stage today, and this videorecording clearly highlights the Rome native's talent. The neoclassical setting and brilliant acoustics of the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy complement her repertoire, but ultimately it is Bartoli's passion for the music that makes this video worthwhile, and worthwhile it is. I enthusiastically give it five stars.

Summary: Cecilia Bartoli is in a class by herself.....
Review: I was so happy when this concert was first aired on PBS in 1999. For me, Cecilia is one of the brightest, most energetic, and beautiful mezzo sopranos around today. This concert represents her versatility and charisma as a performer. It is hard to say what the highlights of this concert are. She sings all of the songs with so much expression, juice and enthusiasm. I loved her aria from Bizet's Carmen where she became that bewitching gypsy from the tobacco factory. I hope opera producers and directors were watching that! She would make a wonderful Carmen for the new generation of divas. I also loved her interpretations of Mozart, Rossini and all of the French songs. Cecilia can bring tears to your eyes or a great smile to your lips. She has you at "Buona Sera." Don't miss this treat.
