Captured live at the historic Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy, in June 1998, this album showcases the extraordinary talent of Cecilia Bartoli in a setting that beautifully complements her vocal prowess. The concert features a diverse repertoire spanning works by Mozart, Viardot, Berlioz, Donizetti, and others, performed with Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca. From the delicate arias of "Tu ch'hai le penne, amore" and "Amarilli mia bella" to the dramatic intensity of "Zelmira" and "Carmen," Bartoli's voice shines with versatility and depth. The album includes both well-known pieces and hidden gems, such as the enchanting "Havanaise" and the lively "Canzonetta spagnuola." With a duration of just over an hour and sixteen minutes, this live recording offers a captivating glimpse into Bartoli's artistry, making it a standout addition to any classical music collection.
