Cecilia Bartoli -- Qui La Voce from Bellinis I Puritani

If Rossini is a rich pastry, Bellini is a smooth Swiss chocolate. This is slightly edited to highlight Bartoli’s exquisitely intimate bel canto. BBC Review: Cecilia Bartoli stands apart from other classical artists with her talent for unearthing and breathing new life into long-forgotten music, rather than re-recording the core repertoire. Bartoli’s rich voice, with its pyrotechnical capabilities and dramatic powers, couldn’t be better suited to the task.
