Cecilia Bartoli

Cecilia Bartoli is, for my money, one of the great musical detectives of our age as well as a stunning mezzo-soprano. Beyond the obvious Mozart and Rossini brilliance, what thrills me is her devotion to unearthing forgotten Baroque and Classical repertoire and making it feel urgent. That distinctive timbre and her dazzling coloratura are unmistakable. With multiple Grammy wins for her solo vocal albums, she has the trophies, but it is her scholarship that sets her apart. A Roman through and through, she treats every project like a treasure hunt, and her recordings have genuinely expanded what audiences know exists.
