Bartoli strikes the right note - again
I bought this CD as a gift for a friend, because I enjoyed my copy so much. Bartoli is a consummate artist, and her tribute to the castrati of the 17th -19th centuries is a remarkable compendium - a long over-due tribute - of arias.
Today, we are fortunate to enjoy the counter-tenors, who sing in the same ranges as castrati. The music is difficult, indeed, demanding and, to my ears anyway, is glorious.
"Sacrificium" is a wonderful collection of Baroque opera arias, rarely heard anywhere. If you love the music of Baroque opera, or love the artistry of Cecilia Bartoli, then this CD is a must-have for your collection.
