Cecilia Bartoli & Il Giardino Armonico - "Viva Vivaldi!" [Théatre des Champs-Elysées, Paris, 2000]

Certainly more than just the composer of the "Four Seasons", we all know that Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1743) also wrote hundreds of largely famous and wonderful instrumental works, and his glorious church music is well known. But it wasn't until recent decades that his wonderful operas - of which he is said to have written more than fifty - were resurrected.
In this now famous concert held at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris in 2000 (here in its full-length), the talented and world-renowned italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli together with Italian period music ensemble Il Giardino Armonico just presents beautiful and rare or lesser known arias from Vivaldi's operas. Ably backed by instrumentalists including violinist Marco Bianchi, lutist Luca Pianca, oboe player Maria Grazia d'Alessio, and flautino (recorder) soloist Giovanni Antonini - who also acts as the conductor - the gorgeous mezzo-soprano with her spectacular vocal pyrotechnics gives a voice to a great composer whose legendary work "The Four Seasons" has, unfortunately, eclipsed for many years almost all of his other gems. This Brian Large film showcases the repertoire from the bestselling "Vivaldi Album" (Decca, 1999) which catapulted Cecilia Bartoli to worldwide stardom.
The concert received universal acclaim. Above all, Bartoli and Il Giardino Armonico perform unknown works that had to be copied from Vivaldi's original manuscripts. The concert program encompasses arias and instrumental works from the operas "L'Olimpiade", "Tito Manilio", "Ottone in Villa", "Ercole sul Terdomonte", "Farnace", "Bajazet" (or "Tamerlano"), "La Fida Ninfa", "Griselda", "Giustino", from the oratorio "Juditha Triumphans", and the famous "Gloria". Consisting here of seventeen musicians, the world-class baroque ensemble Il Giardino Armonico (which already supported Cecilia Bartoli just on the Decca album) also performes two Vivaldi's concertos.

[@muccini_Seo]

Meravigliosa!!!💜

[@globalman]

Wonderful to find this here. To be honest at the beginning of her fame I was not convinced. Mainly because of the super media hype without the years put in to reach fame. The world had changed since Callas, Tebaldi, Horne, Sutherland and the many, many other Grande Dames and Divas prior to La Bartoli's appearance on the world stage. It had become a world of Exploitation and manipulation by Record Labels, Agents and Managers in a totally Commercial and quite vulgar way. People were becoming superstars without having proved themselves either vocally or experientially. Having said that I remained open and persevered. However this performance here she did in Zurich during the 1990's ... same Gown and program and I was overwhelmed. Her voice had matured, her presence was magical and she radiated such inner beauty as well as heart it was impossible to remain neutral any longer. She was glorious and had earned her place among great Opera Divas and Mezzo Sopranos.

The Angelic Hoardes in Heaven are hard pressed to match this ONE talent.

[@peterheiman8621]

Mr. Antonini has gone on to lead this ensemble, and also the Basel Chamber Orchestra, in the Haydn 2032 Project, which will (God willing, as always) record all the Haydn symphonies by that year. The ones already available are superb.

It coudn't get any more Vivaldi than this. Those flutes sound like birds in a wood and those strings vibrate with such passion. Cecilia, Cecilia, I hope you're in heaven when I arrive otherwise I'll get back! Il Giardino Armonico, what a beautiful name, you guys are great. bravi! Non potrebbe essere più Vivaldi di così. Quei flauti suonano come uccelli in un bosco e quelle corde vibrano con tanta passione. Cecilia, Cecilia, spero che tu sia in paradiso quando arrivo, altrimenti Io torno! Il Giardino Armonico, che bel nome, ragazzi siete fantastici. bravi!

[@danforthprince849]
