Cecilia Bartoli Agitata da due venti Vivaldi 

Anyone else glad to be living in the same era as Cecilia Bartoli?

I think Bartoli had set the standards so high for this song that watching any other renditions of this song on RU-vid just couldn't be as satisfying as watching her doing it...

Quelle puissance ! quelle justesse ! quelle versatilité ! et quelle expression !

This woman is a gift from heaven.

I think this is even better than the one on RU-vid where she is in the blue dress. So magnificent!

Cecilia Bartoli will be remembered as an important figure of opera from the 20th/21st centuries. She will live forever.

... ELA , SIMPLESMENTE , SUPLANTOU , OS LIMITES HUMANOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Antonio, you were a sadist! :D

She always leaves me with goosebumps up and down my arms. She lifts me, slams me down, lifts me again and again until I cannot breathe. Incredible talent!

To refer this as mere "coloratura" singing is almost an insult. What Bartoli is doing here (and in other music in the Vivaldi and Handel canon) is recreating a vocal moment that has not been heard since before the time of Bellini, Rossini, and Donizetti (who were the bel canto composers). Bartoli's technical feats here put her in a category all by herself. Antonio Vivaldi wrote a lot of vocal music that is today virtually impossible for anyone (except for Bartoli), and Bartoli is flaunting it in our faces like a happy child. What a virtuoso she is!

She is absolutely incredible. I have trained as a lyric soprano for the past seven and a half years, but my teachers have all been telling me recently that I am truly a mezzo-soprano, and should listen to other mezzos to emulate them, even if I can call it that. Cecilia has always been my favorite mezzo, but there is no way I will ever be able to hold a candle to her. She's so out of my league! Brava, Cecilia!

Audace, spericolata, ma sicura e piacevole.

splendida voce, esaltante interpretazione, indefinibile questa Cecilia Bartoli

Cecilia è un dono all'umanità. Come quei pochi grandissimi maestri che il mondo ha concesso. Lei consola chiunque poiché quello che fa non è solo cantare, ma regalare gioia.

LA MEJOR CANTANTE DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS !!!

INCREDIBILE!!!!! CHE SPLENDIDE AGILITA' VORTICOSE, TUTTE PERFETTAMENTE PRECISE............ CECILIA BARTOLI E' IL NUOVO FENOMENO DEL PURO BELCANTO!!!!

GRANDE, INMENSA, MAGNIFICA, VIRTUOSA, excelente técnica de Cecilia, la amo.

She is like a machine! Listening to this, you kind of sit there thinking "Oh man, she's going to mess it up any second... No human could possibly keep this up." But nope! It's so perfect. So... organized. Simply amazing.

La mas grande , es un derooche de facultades y clase, y la suerte que tenemos esta generación de poder escuchar un voz como la de esta mujer.GRANDE CECILIA

She is IN THE MUSIC when she sings this. Wow. One of the best performers of all time.

Standing ovation. That was incredible!!!!!

Esta mujer tiene una voz extraordinaria,esta actuación es sencillamente impresionante. Un regalo de Dios.

Technique parfaitement maîtrisée ! Quelle aisance!Magnifique!Peu de cantatrices arrivent à ce niveau!!Mais que cette technique ne prime pas sur le talent!

Fantastic! First interview I saw with her, the interviewer asked About her facial expressions while singing. And Cecilia said that she was singing so she didn’t know what her face was doing she just knew that she had to get To the notes so it didn’t matter what her face did to get to those notes.

No se puede creer, extraordinaria voz y afinación perfecta....me emociona....Qué talento !!!!

Полный восторг! Потрясная дама!

Thank God there are still a few out there who truly appreciate this once in a lifetime virtuoso.

Simplemente la mejor cantante de opera de toda la historia!!

She really transmits the aim of music: JOY

Я давно уже наслаждаюсь ее пением!Это ГЕНИАЛЬНО!!!!!!!!!

preziosismi vocali impareggiabili

my god, no one has a range like this woman! Absolutely astonishing voice.

Good Heavens! What a gift!

Her diaophramatic control and singing on the thin vocal fold edges, combined with instant flips from head to chest is mind-blowing. This remarkable technique is combined with a great natural talent.. Thank for making this possible to watch and hear. Bravissimo!

Extraordinaire technique vocale ! Une splendeur ! Merci Madame...

Artista eccezionale! Non so se è più piacevole ascoltarla che ammirarla nelle sue interpretazioni.

This is such an amazing technical feat that she pulls off spectacularly.

This video introduced me to Cecilia Bartoli one day during a Music class, and I do not regret taking the class!

now I most regret the tickets for the Amsterdam concert are so very sold out! My everyday's portion of Classical music will merely forfilled by Cecilia Bartoli's masterpieces like this! Thanks a lot!

Bartoli is flawless in this performance, perfect balance of instruments and her voice brings this song back to life. Grazie Cecilia.

Semplicemente strepitosa. Grandissima Cecilia!

I love her singing and her gestures while singing are so funnyyy!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha LOVE YOU BARTOLI!

Holy flipping gizzards!!!! incredible.

She does the impossible - and with ease and enjoyment. I have heard this a hundred times and still can't believe it!!

A parte de la voz que tiene (divina), me encanta la expresión de su cara, la hace tan amena, tan simpática, ir a un concierto suyo debe ser espectacular! Espero que siga cantando por muchos años y que tenga la suerte de ir a verla!

Lo que me encanta de ella es que le gustan los retos... Interpreta composiciones super difíciles y lo hace de manera superlativa

la prima volta che l'ho ascoltata non potevo crederci: straordinariaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Vocal calisthenics with passion, precision, and perfect pitch and inflection. How remarkably grand.

Она великолепна! Такой техники исполнения барокко больше нет!

Cecilia Bartoli,waaaaooooo...amazing😱😍👏👏👏👏👍

All who can hear! Enjoy! That's simply out of understanding! Incredible, fantastic, magic. Let us keep it in our minds and souls. She is the only and the best - the words cost nothing - she grants us this magic of talent, love, energy and beauty!!!!!

This is surreally superb ! This is a mind blowing performance by Cecilia ; I thinks Vivaldi must've been hitting the magic mushrooms when he composed this one!

I love this mezo-soprano's flair. Exciting, captivating/ enchanting. Her technique, impeccable. Her musicality, divine. BRAVO!!!

Truly spectacular, she is without equal.

This is breathtaking in its joy. I just love listening AND watching Bartoli sing. How could you not love this? A smile set to music...

She is the Statue of Liberty in 24 kts gold. Her voice and interpretation is a unique rare diamond rarely seen in this world.

Безупречно,потрясающе.Чудо!!!!!

Any student singer listening to this will be scared stiff ;-) Bartoli is a true virtuoso, this must be SO difficult to sing.

sheer talent sheer breath control sheer agility

I feel lucky to be living at the same time as Cecilia Bartoli.

que talento! Impresionante!

Insanely accurate rhythm + tonality. Just listen to how her singing completely matched the instrument’ tempo and pitch. Her voice is made to be just another vital instrument complementing the classical voices perfectly. Anybody interested in singing needs to listen to this so to learn how singing isn’t just about how loud you shriek high notes. Far be it.

Estupenda, estupenda, estupenda....grande Cecilia Bartoli!!!!

Wow she has to be the best opera singer this world has ever heard!

I listened to this aria at first when I was a middle school student. At that time, I was very shocked by the difficulty. So I recorded the same recording with this from the radio to my blank tape and I listened one hundred times. I cannot believe that Vivaldi wrote the most challenge arias for singers. The melody seemed for the violin, not for the voice. So many singers tend to avoid his arias.

GRANDE CECILIA BARTOLI

cada generación genera sus gargantas. esta aria es un regalo maravilloso.

Ceclilia -is the best ! Hard working, real ARTIST ! Artist from the GOD !!!

FANTASTICA E INIGUALABLE!

I love her.

Cecilia is so highly talented and so gorgeous !

totalmente impresionado , no habia escuchado a nadie con tal control de su voz! felicidades a los conocedores!

Brava. Stunning woman.

que clase de cantante es esta?! jajajaja Cecilia eres una verdadera máquina de técnica vocal. Te amo!!! tremenda 🙌🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤❤❤

Stupefacente la simbiosi tra interpretazione e musica: eccezionale!

It ges to the point where I just forget what word she's singing and listen to this breathtaking coloratura. Brava

FANTÁSTICA, CON UN DOMINIO DE VOZ ABSOLUTO!!

Maravilhosa! É muito pouco para ela... mas, o que dizer? Estupefata!!! Digo glória a Deus por essa maravilhosa voz, pelo fôlego que ela tem! Parabéns, parabéns, mil vezes!

This is the most astounding vocal technique I have ever heard.

Qué maravilla de cantante, y qué lindo su gesto de saludar a sus músicos. ¡A navegar Cecilia!

I love her singing Vivaldi :-)

Que maravilla de artista del canto, intérprete espectacular. Brava!!

I mean, Italians, don't cry for your loss at a recent football game. You have the best mezzo in the world! Also one of the finest sopranos - Miss Mariella Devia.

Bartolli was the bird's goddess in another life!!! this singing is not human!!

You don't have to "like" a piece just because it's classical music & the singer is extremely talented. Liking & disliking are just a matter of taste, not a measurement of intelligence or knowledge. Comments like this make people uneasy when dealing with classical music, how does that do any good? I personally love classical music & Bartoli's performance is incredible, in case you put me in your little box as well. And Britney Spears made some fine pop music in her early days too. No relation.

Agitata da due venti, freme l'onda in mar turbato e 'l nocchiero spaventato già s'aspetta a naufragar. Dal dovere da l'amore combattuto questo core non resiste e par che ceda e incominci a desperar.

Lordy what I would do to go back to the baroque era and be surrounded by true artists who need only a small orchestra to give a splendid performance! Marvelous!

Fantástica, bellísima, Bartolísima!!

Complimenti bravissima.

extraordinary ... stunning & utterly remarkable !!!

incroyable! Le génie du "prêtre roux" aussi bien dans sa musique que le sadisme de ses chants qui poussent au plus loin de ses retranchements la diva. Ca passe ou ca casse, mais si cela passe c'est une véritable merveille!

AAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! THIS WOMAN PLAYS WITH HER VOICE!!!!!!!!! :D SHE IS AMAZING

Magnífico, espetacular!

The vocal equivalent of tightrope walking

Meraviglia. Grazie per la tua arte e gioia di vivere, Cecilia. Un bacio dal Brasile.

Bravissima, I can't say how impressed I am-there may be just a few such superlative singers as Cecilia. Pure perfection.

shes quite a show off, a little funny to watch,but what a voice and technique!

"Henry, she's singing coloratura. Isn't that beautiful? Henry. Henry, wake up."

my vocal techer said me that to watch Cecilia Bartol.now,I understand why he want to watch her :) she is amazing!

Every time I got carried away, can't immagine listening to this song in live!!!!
