Cecilia Bartoli - Haendel Giulio Cesare "E pur cosi... Piangerò la sorte mia" (Cleopatra)

[@virgofairy88]

This version of this aria is fantastic. Singing that slowly without running out of air is so difficult to do and it’s harder than doing the coloratura runs. I’m working on this aria too and it really has been a labor of love. Brava to Cecilia! This is not an easy song to sing!

[@catherinecozzano2580]

I love the man who shouts SEI UNICA in the public at the end of the aria. It’s true you’re unique Cecilia. Thank you for both the beauty of your voice and interpretation of a Queen who suddenly realizes she’s alone and wants to rebel against the situation. You really sing the text. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ilonamargalitadze6891]

FANTASTICA! Non so quante volte ho ascoltato questa interpretazione.. ti entra nell'anima, nel cuore!

[@nicolatoffoletto4013]

La Santa Cecilia ❤️

[@associazionemusadistefanog2058]

One of the best and most beautiful interpretation of this aria. Haendel himself would be deeply touched !

[@shbow1]

One of the most beautiful of Arias sung with such subliminal beauty

[@leomaruli]

The pause at the beginning, the slower tempo and the pianissimo are very effective in conveying and heightening the agony of loss in the song. Bravissima!

[@florencevinit648]

il y a des tas de gens à qui on aurait envie de couvrir la tête pour qu'ils se taisent...et des merveilles comme Cecilia Bartoli qui nous portent à l'extase avec la tête recouverte d'un sac de patate.....les metteurs en scène ne savent pas à quel point, en matraquant(ou en tous cas en rendant le chant moins aisé) les choses, les rendent encore plus fortes par leur beauté éternelle.

[@carolinemaclet7620]

C'est bouleversant. Une artiste, engagée corps et âme, et plus encore, dans son chant. MERCI.

[@riohenry6382]

This whole opera has been a master class for Cecilia. She has set the bar for Giulio Cesare. In fact everyone was brilliant. Buy the DVD and see for yourself

[@deewick9049]

Pure beauty! I wish I was there. I don't care at all what is on her head. Cecilia could sing in a cardboard box and I would still want to listen.

[@nicolatoffoletto4013]

Santa Cecilia!

[@ajeansmith5478]

This is so very beautiful. She is a great artist. Stunning.

[@leomaruli]

Is it only me, but doesn’t Cecilia’s body stance resembling the painting “The Execution of Lady Jane Grey”? I don’t know if it’s intended or not, but for me, it’s really an effective pose to emphasize the emotion of the song.

[@eduardocogorno]

Impresionante ! Como venido de otro mundo! Cecilia es de una musicalidad apabullante

BRAVA from Acapulco!

Arte pura, la musica del divino Händel cantata dalla divina Cecilia Bartoli. Meglio di così non si può.

[@yenyreneperezazcuy1359]

Hola Cecilia me llamo dayamí soy cubana cantante de ópera también desde siempre te he admirado muchísimo y hasta Nacimos en el mismo año tus interpretaciones de toda la vida han sido magistrales pero este en especial me ha elevado todos los niveles de vibración Muchas gracias y bendiciones

[@jorgealbertolettera4027]

No hay palabras para definir la grandeza de Cecilia Bártoli. Su canto llega al alma. Es maravillosa.

[@pascalejouzel160]

Fabuleuse interprétation ! Fabuleuse Cécila Bartoli !

[@michelineleonet3809]

Quelle voix superbe, j’adore

[@aetion]

From the very beginning of her career, Cecilia Bartoli was an accomplished artist. Until today, I don't think she has changed anything in her technique. She is amazing! Thank you.

[@pasionbarroca]

Fantástica.... Música, música y más música

[@ajeansmith5478]

The intensity is so extraordinary, it might confuse some. Great trill. But when she uses her “other” voice in the agitato part , we are taken to another dimension. Rispetto MOLTO , signora. Your adagio singing here is just amazing. Gracie molto

[@agnostik31]

magnifique devant cette aisance vocale on accepte le tempo un peu trop ralenti On adore Cecilia ;;;

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

The tempo is fine, it shows the contemplation if being alone and mourning for Cesare. It has to contrast with B section.

[@nostoon4332]

someone needs to put a bag over the stage director's head and take them out back and do you know what...

ah! Handel .. come ha potuta commuoverci così? Bella versione, certo della soprano.

[@elizabethbrogan6582]

why the hell would you put an add in the middle of her performance? Just put more at the front or end!

[@Solomija-r3h]

Questi oggetti di scena sono stati scelti per la produzione😣😰😩😧

[@davidhoffman1969]

Think of all of those voice teachers yelling at their students to keep their eyes open and look at the audience so they can see you.

[@estetbaiget4738]

Poor Cecilia! Why on earth does she have to sing on her knees and with her head in a bag?

[@pibroch]

She had Covid

[@rosemaryallen2128]

She is a prisoner and being humiliated. In the Danish production (highly recommended) Cleopatra has a shaven head.

It's a show. It's theater, not a recital.

Because she can

[@avecesar4244]

¿Le tapan la cabeza para no ver esos gestos suyos tan expresivos? A algunos directores de escena los mandaría yo al paredón por querer ser los protagonistas de las óperas. Algunos no saben ya que hacer para llamar la atención y para decir:" eh, que también existimos ". Una ópera es un texto y una música, con una puesta en escena, sí, pero que esta no le robe protagonismo a lo realmente importante, la unión música- texto . Lo demás debe estar a su servicio, no al revés...

[@ceciliabartolilive1769]

Completamente de acuerdo contigo !

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

Perhaps the sack over the head further shows just how alone she is now.

[@mayaduran8379]

La representan así porque es una reina humillada, cautiva y aprisionada. Deberías saber de qué trata la ópera.

[@avecesar4244]

@@mayaduran8379 No creo que en el siglo XVIII les tapasen la cabeza a las reinas cautivas con un saco y menos aún en una ópera. Es la primera vez que oigo que en el Barroco les tapaban la cabeza a los cantantes. Repito. Son caprichos de los directores de escena para llamar la atención... o para "actualizar" argumentos de óperas antiguas. A veces, se pasan de "originales" y rozan el ridículo. Debería de saberlo...

[@mayaduran8379]

@@avecesar4244 ay, dios mío. Claro que es una adaptación novedosa. No es como que en todas las presentaciones usen las distintas cantantes el mismo atuendo, ni sea exactamente la misma escenografía... Esta versión es una de muchas, no necesariamente apegada a como se representaba en el barroco, duh.

[@playlistofsongs]

Well, people have been complaining for decades about her weird facial expressions.

[@ceciliabartolilive1769]

indeed 😉

[@luisfigueroa2785]

Me cuesta creer que sea verdad.

[@rosemaryallen2128]

I actually enjoyed that! The reason? I couldn't see Cecilia's usual grotesque facial expressions. Interesting how such an exquisite sound can be destroyed so readily.
