Notes & Reviews	Back to Top

Singer/Musicologist. A pair of words one doesn't often see separated by a virgule. Maybe referring to Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, but Cecilia Bartoli? Believe it. After all, didn't you see the Vivaldi album with Italian early music rockers Il Giardino Armonico? Or the Gluck album, Dreams and Fables? Well, with her latest release from Decca, Bartoli threatens to do for the much-maligned Antonio Salieri (who didn't really poison Mozart, by the way; that was just a publicity stunt he cooked up later) what she did for both of the aforementioned: put them on the operatic map. The arias are hardly familiar, although the librettists might be: da Ponte and Casti were as much parts of fin-de-XVIIIeme-siecle society as Salieri, Beethoven, Goethe, Mozart, or Haydn. What is familiar, is Bartoli's voice: agile, toned and thrilling, with that bona fide half-soprano zwischenfach of a real exciting mezzo. It's not a voice you want to hear singing Carmen (although it's an entertaining notion); what you want to hear is Bartoli doing just what she's doing here: ripping up and down the register and pulling lines so long they sound like they're made of taffy. From right off the bat, in Son qual lacera tartana from La Secchia Rapita (attentive listeners of Bright and Early might know the overture) Bartoli's a wow, with a lovely brilliance. The chestnutty warmth is still there: try on Misere abbandonata. And the humor: La re la is a plummy character piece that Bartoli sells with the comic feel that makes her such a winning Despina. OK. So does Salieri really hold up next to Mozart? You tell me. Does Bartoli make as convincing a case as could ever be made? Absolutely. --From WQXR.com
