| | Maria CD Cecilia Bartoli Discography of CDs
Cecilia Bartoli revisits the early Romantic era of Rossini, Bellini and their contemporaries, and views the Bel canto glory days through the eyes of Maria Malibran : Romantic icon, Bel canto muse, and the most extraordinary opera star of her time. Cecilia Bartoli has unearthed many forgotten opera jewels. The album features several world premiere recordings including the prayer 'Se il mio desir Cedi al duol' from the long lost opera Irene by Pacini and the aria 'E non lo vedo Son regina' by Maria's father, the famous Rossini tenor Manuel Garcia. Bartoli also presents the London version of Mendelssohn's 'Infelice' for voice, violin solo and orchestra, where she duets with Maxim Vengerov. The programme also includes popular favourites , such as Bellini's 'Casta diva' from Norma. Maria features an incredible variety of music. Mellifluous Bel canto delights are contrasted with regional flavours from around the world: from Spanish flamenco to Tyrolienne yodelling. The album exhibits Cecilia Bartoli singing in four languages: Italian, Spanish, French and English.

Maria
$11.49 Pity poor Antonio Salieri. Regarded as one of the preeminent composers of his day and having enjoyed enormous success in his lifetime, his musical output was nonetheless completely overshadowed by that of his contemporary, Mozart, and by the work of his two most prominent students, Beethoven and Schubert. Subsequently, his compositions were all but forgotten and disappeared from the active repertoire. The film adaptation of Peter Schaffer's play AMADEUS pulled his name from the depths of obscurity, but recognition brought infamy, by virtue of his portrayal as the untalented and jealous rival responsible for Mozart's death. Despite this attention, his works still remained unknown, rarely performed or recorded. To the rescue comes none other than Cecilia Bartoli. THE SALIERI ALBUM finds the superstar mezzo-soprano once again in the role of champion of neglected music, and she endeavors, as in her previous discs of operatic works by Gluck and Vivaldi, to restore luster to a composer's tarnished reputation. Bartoli brilliantly works through a selection of surprisingly well-crafted diva showcases with her usual combination of technical wizardry, intense emotional commitment, and beauty of tone and expression. Her valiant efforts may not elevate Salieri to a status equal to Mozart's, but she makes a convincing argument that he was a skilled composer whose works are undervalued and deserving of wider recognition.
