Description

Cecilia Bartoli presents a brand new album of arias by Antonio Vivaldi, two decades after her ground-breaking Vivaldi Album, which sold over 700K copies. The original Vivaldi Album was a seminal event, launching a substantial revival of Vivaldis long dismissed operas and setting a standard for classical concept albums that stands to this day.

In the 20 years since, Cecilia Bartoli has recorded less than 5 minutes of additional Vivaldi music, making her return to this composer with a new album a true event. She is joined on this recording by French baroque experts Ensemble Matheus under the baton of Jean-Christophe Spinosi.
