The Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli (born 4 June 1966, Rome) is a popular opera singer and recitalist.
Bartoli is considered a lyric and dramatic coloratura, with perhaps less of a "large voice" than some other mezzos, but with a highly individual timbre which she uses to great vocal and dramatic effect.
Bartoli is much liked by the concert-going public for her lively, vivacious onstage persona, while her lyric voice and investigations of other Baroque-era music have given her considerable recognition even among the non-opera-going public.

Mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli is one of the most stunning talents to have come along these last years in that department.
This album is comprised of the so-called 'Arie Antiche', and of all her recordings it's the disc which is the most dear to me.

I greatly admire Bartoli not only for her operatic achievements and tastes (she's a ardent Tebaldi fan) but also for her devotion to classical singing only (she refuses to become a crossover singer).
