Cecilia Bartoli- Caro mio ben (live)

A live performance of Giordani&"Caro mio ben" from about 1998 I believe. My own opinion: Very talented, beautiful voice, which sometimes get&hidden under all the mannerisms (vocal and facial :-P) Like any artist that is heavily promoted by the media, perhaps a bit overrated, but still a likable and refreshing proponent of classical/baroque music. Cecilia Bartoli is an Italian mezzo-soprano opera singer and recitalist. She is best-known for her interpretation of the music of Mozart and Rossini, as well as for her performances of lesser-known Baroque and classical music. She is known for having the versatility to play both soprano and mezzo roles, and is sometimes considered a soprano with a low tessitura. Bartoli is much liked by the concert-going public for her lively, vivacious on-stage persona, while her lyric voice and investigations of other Baroque-era music have given her considerable recognition even among the non-opera-going public.
