The subtitle of this fine recital disc by Cecilia Bartoli is ''arias composed for Isabella Colbran: Rossini's primissima donna''. Colbran was around 30 years old when Rossini first wrote for her in Naples in 1815. (The opera was Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra.) But it is tempting to wonder whether even then she had a voice to match that of Signorina Bartoli, our newest and most lustrous Rossinian primissima donna. As a Rossini mezzo, Bartoli has most things one could wish for: tone of burnt umber, a brilliant top and rock-solid bottom with well-matched registers in between, and a temperament that can be fiery and affecting by turns. Much of this is on display in the recital's opening number, the closing scene from Zelmira (Naples, 1822) which the ageing Colbran almost certainly didn't sing as expertly as Bartoli does here. In Bartoli's performance we have a full register of human emotion as well as great virtuosity, including some fabulous quick runs of great tonal variety and allure.
The programme includes a novelty among its several rarities. It is one of several transformations Rossini made of Count Almaviva's ill-starred showpiece aria at the end of Il barbiere di Siviglia (February, 1816). It would later suit Cenerentola rather better (Rome, 1817). Here it is the wonderfully effective basis for a dazzling set-piece for the goddess Ceres in the theatrical entertainment Le nozze di Teti e di Peleo which Rossini laid on for Neapolitan royalty in April 1816.
The recital has been carefully put together. The conducting is generally alert and the chorus is well used in the most of the extracts. I am thinking in particular of the Elisabetta finale. Strangely, though, one of their scheduled appearances is missing from the Zelmira finale. Decca's digital recording gives one a startlingly vivid up-front impression of Bartoli's voice. No holds are barred. As I say: a dangerously captivating lady, running on high-octane talent.'— Richard Osborne, Gramophone
