Product Description

Album Description
GENIUS, SCANDAL AND DEATH! CECILIA BARTOLI EXPLORES THE WORLD OF MARIA MALIBRAN: FIRST GODDESS OF ROMANTICISM
8 World Premiere recordings
Duet with violin star Maxim Vengerov
Cecilia Bartoli returns to her bel canto roots
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly diverse, 22 Nov 2007

By	Mart Music (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This album is intended as a tribute to the French singer Maria Malibran, one of the most famous mezzo sopranos of the 19th Century, who died at the tragically young age of 28 in 1836. Her life was full of drama and scandal (she married a man 28 years her senior), emotional upsets (she divorced after a year) and controversy (such as refusing to sing in front of the King until he gave his permission for the audience to applaud whenever they wanted during her performances). This all made for great public interest, and ensured her name went down in musical history as one of the first real 'opera divas'.

The selection of songs here is from the era of Malibran, ranging from operatic pieces from composers Bellini and Hummel, to her own Fathers compositions and even a few of her own, which all adds up to an extremely diverse collection of music. This of course is the intention for it makes great demands on the singer and, if successful, achieves the admiration it deserves.

Bartoli fans will love this album, I certainly do, for it continues her custom of producing themed albums (Salieri, Vivaldi, Italian arias) which bring a sense of cohesion to each of them. Like all her previous recordings there are surprises, notable on this is Hummel's `Air a la tirolienne avec variations' which is a combination of classical aria and Alpine folk music, resulting in an alternation of singing styles from traditional opera to full blown yodelling. Difficult to imagine, but it works to great effect.

Anyone who hasn't heard Cecilia Bartoli sing, and thought all mezzo sopranos are in the style of singers such as (also greatly talented) Katherine Jenkins, will probably be amazed at the different results which vocals of the same range can achieve.

This is both a pleasing album for existing fans and an excellent introduction for newcomers to the exciting voice of Cecilia Bartoli.

NOTE: The alternative 'deluxe hardback edition' of this CD includes a hard-backed booklet of 150 pages (the first 37 in English, then translations to French and German, and the last 40 or so pages with libretti for all the tracks on the CD). The book is also lavishly illustrated, with photos of Cecilia Bartoli and various artifacts such as jewellery and busts relating to Maria Malibran.
