Bartoli, Cecilia - MSN Encarta |
 | | Bartoli, Cecilia, born in 1966, Italian mezzo-soprano, noted for her warm coloratura voice, lively characterizations, and down-home manner. |
 | | Bartoli built her reputation by singing the Italian bel canto repertory, especially works by Gioacchino Rossini, and in operas by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, but by the early 2000s she had demonstrated a growing interest in baroque opera. |
 | | Bartoli worked with Karajan on the Mass in B Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, presented at the Salzburg Festival in 1990 (after Karajan’s death), and with Barenboim on three Mozart operas. |
