Reviews:
"The 1999 album sparked a renewed interest in Vivaldi’s operatic works and positioned Bartoli as a champion of neglected or forgotten music. It also showcased Bartoli’s talents as a world-class interpreter and a passionate and exciting performer dedicated to historical verisimilitude in her craft.
Marking Bartoli’s 30th anniversary with Decca records, it is difficult to avoid framing this return to Vivaldi as a significant point of transition for the singer. It is equally difficult to avoid drawing comparisons—perhaps intended—between the two works that so neatly bookend Bartoli’s recording career to-date.
Such comparisons are, in many ways, profitable. They allow us to revisit the energy and vivacity of the 1999 album, which still has the ability to thrill the listener with its largesse, and, as a result, to appreciate the greater subtlety and sophistication of her latest offering."
