Opera Proibita / cecilia bartoli, marc minkowski

Cecilia Bartoli again. Bartoli’s 2005 recording with Marc Minkowski, entitled “Forbidden Opera (opera proibita)” is arguably one of her best albums. A variety of emotional arias are selected from oratorios by Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Caldara, and Georg Friedrich Handel. From the incredible coloratura technique of Handel’s oratorio “Un pensiero nemico di pace” (The Triumph of Time and Truth) to the tender pianissimo of Scarlatti’s oratorio “Caldo sangue” (Sedecia, King of Jerusalem) This is a record that contains all of Bartoli’s charms. #baroque #bartoli #片山俊幸
