Description: In the beginning, Cecilia Bartoli seemed to do one thing better than anybody, i.e., Rossini arias, which would not guarantee a long career even for a singer of her ebullience. This live performance from the Teatro Olympico in Vincenza, Italy, shows how much she's expanded, both linguistically and musically. The first five selections reflect her newfound specialty, early opera. The three Caccini selections from the 17th century--accompanied by small string ensemble--are deeply felt and stylistically convincing enough to make one eager for future forays. She's guilty of spinning out Handel's "Lascia la spina" excessively but hits new heights of virtuosity in Vivaldi's "Agitata da due venti." The rest of the disc is for voice and piano, in a program including both some genuine discoveries by French composer Pauline Viardot-Garcia that reveal the singer's increasing emotional depths and less consequential ones by Donizetti and Rossini. Bartoli also sings Spanish songs, most notably Montsalvatge's "Canto negro," proving that the singer doesn't venture into a new language until she can truly feel in it. Remarkably, her voice maintains its strength and body in the deeper, mezzo-ish regions as well as in the high, soprano-range areas. Might she have two voices? --David Patrick Stearns

Description: Seven complete operas starring the brilliant Leyla Gencer - great live opera recordings at budget price in one space-saving set! Exciting live recordings taped 1958-1970! In a world dominated by singers from the countries with the most deep-rooted operatic cultures, Turkish soprano Leyla Gencer (b. 1928) seemed an exotic quantity to many Western audiences. Her career remained somewhat at the fringes, but a cadre of fans has always rooted for her devotedly, and their numbers have only grown as more people are exposed to her passionate artistry through recordings. Her voice was not large, nor her production absolutely even, but she compensated for these liabilities with many other talents: her voice was flexible in coloratura, she was able to float exquisitely soft high notes, she adhered closely to the score, she could vary her vocal color, her phrasing was minutely nuanced, and above all she was an intelligent and passionate interpreter of superior dramatic insights.
