Cecilia Bartoli / Ensemble Matheus / Jean-Christophe Spinosi ANTONIO VIVALDI

Almost 20 years after her landmark Vivaldi album, Bartoli turns to the composer once again for her brand new solo recording. It is a glorious collection of Vivaldi arias, performed with French baroque orchestra Ensemble Matheus under Jean-Christophe Spinosi.
Bartoli’s 1999 recording The Vivaldi Album shone a spotlight on the Italian as a composer of vocal works, sparking a revival in the operas of Vivaldi, who had hitherto been primarily known for his concerti. The album sold 700,000 copies in five years and went Gold in six countries. It paved the way for similarly trailblazing releases, including the Italian arias of Christoph Willibald Gluck, the legendary castratos (on the album ‘Sacrificium’) and Bartoli’s personal 19th-century hero, the mezzo-soprano Maria Malibran.
