Cecilia Bartoli - Unreleased
Cecilia Bartoli (mezzo-soprano), Kammerorchester Basel, Muhai Tang
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 17 December 2021
During the pandemic, Cecilia paused her busy schedule and took time to go back through her archives. She is now releasing this never-before-heard album 'Unreleased', a celebration of the most famous concert arias from Mozart, Beethoven & Haydn. Recorded with the Kammerorchester Basel conducted by Muhai Tang, and featuring Maxim Vengerov as solo violin on track 6.
"Some of Bartoli's best singing comes in [the Myslivecek]. Elsewhere there are passages where her characteristic commitment to textual expression becomes overvehement...Yet much of her more delicate singing combines beauty of tone with expressiveness...the orchestral accompaniments are beautifully managed under Muhai Tang." BBC Music
"By 2013 Bartoli's middle register had grown darker and more opaque. But her dramatic flair, her unerring gift of locating the music's nerve ends, are as vivid as ever." Gramophone
