I totally agree! This is pure art and profound sensibility!!! It is beautiful...

no - as the title shows.thats Maria Malibran, a singer of the early 19th century. Cecilia is absolutely mad bout her, making big fuss, but not being able to sing Belcanto in a way, that pleases the critics. She is best in rapid baroque coloratura. Arias that were written originally for castrati by Vivaldi, Händel.

agnellodei : I am not sure whether this picture is Cecilia Bartoli or not ???? I love Cecilia Bartoli singing such much.

Her voice... so delicate! It's not my preferred genre of voice but she sung this aria pretty and flawlessly so thank you!

She wasn't trying to sing the whole role. She knows she can't do it (because the size of her voice only). On the other hand...who says this can only be sung by dramatic sopranos? let's remember she woman who created this role also created La Sonnambula and Beatrice di Tenda.

go to cecilia's website and read the page she has about her new album - you'll understand this interpretation better

So sorry, I like Cecilia Bartolli but this is not good, she shouldn't record this one. Norma is a really serious roll, Maria Callas considered Norma even more difficult than Wagner's heroines . To me, it sounds almost an "amateur" . It is not even a decent interpretation.

Purism... The interpretation is in the soul of the that sings. Of course there ara papers that tell us what to do but a composer can never write everthing he wants in a score. That's the most beutiful part of interpretation. Cecilia is simply brilliant at it. And another thing... I don't beleave she would corrupt anything without justification and deep studying.Most of all... just listen.

Thank you!!!

In the voice. And the Ricordi editions are VERY edited and corrupted, just look at "La Sonnambula", the tenor part transposed as much as a perfect fifth ,and high Eb's and many other ornamentations added to the final cabaletta. |
