Her parents are both opera singers. Her singing is absolutely accurate. She lives what she sings, one can see and hear her joy across her tremendous virtuosity❤

Thanks for this. She has single handedly raised a whole world of undiscovered Baroque music. She is a cultural jewel in every sense.

She is the best Mezzo-Soprano ever in the history, non to second.

She is one of the greatest Baroque period opera singers in the world. She can do those runs- 32nd notes going super fast! She’s also totally adorable to watch!!!! Brilliant offering, Harri❤😊! She’s singing about raging winds. Her mother is her vocal coach!

I've traveled to seven countries to see Cecilia perform and haved every second! Since 1999 I have been a totally devoted fan of this amazingly talented and gracious singer. I plan traveling to Vienna next thus summer.

Cecilia Bartoli es de otro mundo, es imposible cantar con esa perfección técnica, esa dulzura, esa dicción perfecta, WOW WOW WOW es una diosa !!

Cecilia Bartoli is a Goddess

Cecelia is an amazing singer - her agility is legendary. There are many wonderful opera performances out there that would make your heart sing. Well done on venturing into the wonderful world of opera.

You've never seen anything like this because very few people have ever been able to do it with this kind of agility and accuracy. Cecilia is a once-in-a-generation talent.

I'm so happy that you enjoyed my suggestion! You never really know when it comes to opera; some people find it unpleasant. But your reaction was super-satisfying to watch! 😊

She is astounding. I never get tired of hearing her singing this aria.

Cecilia è straordinaria, sono contenta di sapere che è apprezzata in tutto il mondo!

I cannot believe a human being can do that. I agree. I have never seen or heard anything like this. Absolutely mesmerizingly great. I cannot imagine the training and control that is required to do that piece at that elite level. I have to listen and watch again.

I an surprised you don't know her.. TOP TOP TOP singer and I was shocked the first I heard her!!! Several top sellers ... She is a out of this world!

The confidence written on her face is astounding.

Cecilia is a Queen !

I was lucky to watch her on a couple of live concerts.. Powerful raw and joyful, I admire her very much

Cecilia is the most wonderful! I saw her at Carnegie Hall in NYC in 2004 and she was incredible.

Спасибо! Давно слушаю эту прекрасную певицу, учусь у нее (заочно, конечно)) Благодарю Вас!)

This is from a fantastic concerto performance called "Viva Vivaldi", where I fell in love with Cecilia and the accompanying Baroque Orchestra, the Giardino Armonico. So understandable that you have loved it too ❤️ BTW, this is also a good point in your credit! Being able to appeciate and promote genius is so positive. Thanks! And, of couse kudis to thr little Baroque music orchestre Il Giardino Armonico

Bartoli is always amazing. That whole concert is breathtaking.

My favorite!!!!! Met her twice!!!!

Meravigliosa Cecilia❤🔥

She is one of the great. ❤❤

Cecilia is mesmerizing.

She put out a amazing album of Italian Renaissance love songs. Oh my gosh. Wonderous.

This is only the second time I've heard this piece of music by this performer, and I've been listening to and singing classical and operatic music all my life. I didn't know until today that Vivaldi composed for the voice (how could I not know that? I'm 75 years old. Because, no one else singing, can sing this music!) I've been living in a different reality, but Cecilia Bartoli has opened my ears to the Gods.

Her and Julia are the most amazing Baroque singers. Beautiful timbre.

Cecilia Bartoli é maravilhosa!

Right. I couldn't stop watching this. Then I researched her background and I love her. Btw she pronounced it chechilia.

La Grande Bartoli! ❤ Listen all she has sang! Every single piece is mindblowing from the late 80s till today.

I had just watched this performance and your channel popped up. I was curious :) It seems that sharing the experience made mine richer. Thank you. Btw, have you looked up Oktavists ? Male singers who hit C1. Not joyful and energetic like Cecilia Bartolli, serious and deep. Another groove completely.

Her voice is a powerful musical instrument ❤

Her mother was a singing teacher.

The pleasure she takes in singing is striking ! I had the pleasure to see and hear her live in Brussels . Amazing.. wonderful…

Amazing! The human voice is a most incredible instrument.

She is amazing. Impossible not to fall in love with this performance.

WOW!! Unbelievable! ❤❤❤❤

Harri, you have to listen to Queen of the Night by Diana Damrau! I’m sure you will be blown away.

Extraordinary talent indeed!

She is much the same today. One time she sang Susanna from "The marriage of Figaro" - on the Met. She made James Levine replace two oboes with two clarinettes. There are three scores for the role - two scored for Nancy Storace (Mozarts favourite mezzo soprano) and Cecilias voice is probably the closest we come a voice that was not recorded. Point being she can tell everybody to do their homework before going on stage. Not that she isn't a good collegue. She is. Here is a rotten video of her singing Parto Parto from Mozarts "La clemenza di Tito". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frJdiZN8zNjTgZs.html Just look at the way she enters with the clarinette (basset clarinette) in tow and the conducter following. Just see that afterwards the entire orchester tunes up, they could not hear themselves. You imagine her saying to the clarinette before entering: "Let's go in and kick some serious butt. Just concentrate and we'll be fine - I got You covered." But You are right: Both her parents were opera singers and she slept in the baby lift while they were working at rehersals.

OMG, I can't believe you're hearing Cecilia!! This version of this song is astounding. I first heard of her around 1994 when she was on 60 Minutes. I got her album If You Love Me, which is just her and a pianist. Its beauty and simplicity is sublime.

Don't forget the composer (Vivaldi) wrote this assuming there were people who could sing it!

Check out Cecilia's performance of 'Sposa Son Disprezzata', it's magnificent!

Brilliant!!!!

I have been her fan for about 15 years. Have all her CDs. I imagine her mother calling. 3-yr old Cecelia in from play to practice her vocalise.

Back in the 1990s I found a CD of hers in a Borders Book Store. I bought it and was so glad I did. I was fortunate to see her perform in person when a good friend of mine invited me to go see her. We were up high in the balcony of a beautiful theatre. It felt so surreal being there seeing her in person.

I'm no opera fan, but that was amazing. Watching her sing it was almost as fun as hearing it too. Fun pick Terri!

Nice reaction!

Las voces más cultivadas se encuentran en este género musical (ópera). Bartolli con más de tres octavas y dominio impresionante del fiato (aire), una agilidad vocal y afinación controladas al milímetro, canta cada una de las notas del pentagrama....una voz redonda, aterciopelada y cálida. Además inmenso carisma. Woooow que público se podría resistir a ella?

operatic yodeling ... amazing!

Now try this on for size: Vivaldi was the director of a school thak took in poor children and trained them as professional musicians... Can you imagine the skills they had?

Like you I'm amazed at this lady what an instrument I've a broad taste in music and i will listen to her alongside another idol of mine Brook Benton

Cecelia Bartoli Say-chee-lia Bar-tho-lee Agitata da due venti Ah-jee-tah-tah dah doo-eh ven-tee Just a little help from a native English speaker who also speaks Italian and Spanish. I live in Italy though. I also hope you have looked at DIANA DAMRAU The Austrian soprano who does the queen of the night aria from the magic flute better than anyone else on the planet if you have not already. I saw someone else recommend that and it is amazing. I’m so glad that you love opera. Since moving to Italy for years ago I listen to a full length opera every single morning while I am preparing lunch for my husband before he comes home from work. Channel 5 here has a full length opera every single day at 10.

OMG Perfect technique! Amazing voice! I'm astonished 🙀

The Colaturas she does, they’re very accurate and clear. It’s a sort of Runs and Riffs in a Pop or Rnb world music but in Opera world, it is called Colatura. I heard other opera singers version of this piece but especially in those parts, hers are unique

Лучшее, каноническое исполнение! Расторгуев в голосе, хор моряков и такое щемящее чувство патриотизма! Я не россиянка, я белоруска, но я родом из СССР, и эта песня о нашей общей Родине, о нашей памяти, о нашем детстве под мирном небом. Помню, как впервые услышала эту песню по радио... Я, маленькая девочка, буквально впала в ступор, так мне понравилось. И главное - эта песня такая простая, что ее может спеть каждый! Вот что такое истиная гениальность - это простота!

Sensacional

Maravillosa Cecilia ! y hay muchas más músicas que ella canta de forma espléndida !

This is an OLD singing technique that predates what most people think of as opera. Using long and sustained notes with human voice is something that happened mostly during the classical and romantic era of music. Before that, the voice was mimicking the strings, like you've noticed.

I cannot believe that a human can do that with the voice. A virtuoso of any musical instrument would find that extremely difficult, she does it with her voice. She was taught by her mother.

The faces are a big part of her persona.

Harry; to say...what...like; which technique have you explained to deserve such an honor... Ah! Thank you for not saying - " Oh, my God, thousand times😅😅

In opera, songs are called Arias. Just saying.

Vivaldi, the Red Priest

There are only two unbeatable divas: Mariah Carey and Cecilia Bartoli. Period. And you HAVE TO check out Bartoli singing "Son Qual Nave". It is even more shocking than "Agitata da due venti".

How to show the rose to the donkey!

Gli italiani, unici al mondo per molte cose ..

Trăiește prin muzică, este uimitoare ca o ciocârlie ,cred ca este UNICA

Why is she singing without a microphone, soundtrack?

God! except " guau"; nothing about technique explanation.. guau!!!! anyway the problem is not with a dog, but a ship😂😂😂 Cecilia.. superb as always; please if you don't know...better.... about vocal different range according crescendo and descrecendos: " guau...??? or ..." my god"...😅😅😅 when they don't know.

U pronance Cecilia Ce = Se with is wrong in English with Ch= Ce .... How u say it Sound like Sesilia

Good! Except for those crazy faces she makes while singing... A child would be scared to death
