[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Wednesday 12 December 2018
Almost 20 years after her landmark Vivaldi album, Bartoli turns to the composer once again for her brand new solo recording. It is a glorious collection of Vivaldi arias, performed with French baroque orchestra Ensemble Matheus under Jean-Christophe Spinosi.
"Bartoli's medium-sized, but molten instrument still navigates coloratura flourishes with a precision and secure pitch that many other mature singers would envy. An early tendency to breathe notes into being has been tamed, and her dramatic gifts are as strong as ever." - The Times
