Details: Product descriptionChant d’amour: Mlodies franaiseAmazon.caThis disc demonstrates that Cecilia Bartoli is as much at home in the world of the salon recital as she is in the swoops and vocal acrobatics of the Rossini coloratura repertoire. Her voice is in fine form here- -rich, resonant and full of surprising colours–but her talent for characterisation is even finer. In Pauline Viardot’s « Havanaise » for example, she perfectly captures the flirtatious, almost desperate pleadings of a Spanish sailor for a French girl to accompany him on his boat –and then switches easily to the more capricious and teasing reply of the girl in French. In a number by Ravel (sung in Yiddish and Hebrew) she brings a rather elliptical exchange between a father and his young son to life with exquisite tenderness, and finds yet another voice out of her repertoire to characterise the little boy. Her accompanist, Myung-Whun Chung, supports her perfectly and knows exactly when to let the piano take over a phrase, and when to leave it. Fans will be delighted –others will be converted. –Warwick Thompson
