 | Description: | Autumn 2012 marks the release of Mission, a sensational release from the world's best-selling classical artist Cecilia Bartoli and a project with international politics, religious conflict, diplomatic secrecy, spying and sensational music at it's heart. Following the exceptional artistic and commercial success of 2009's Sacrificium (which earned Cecilia her fifth Grammy award), Cecilia Bartoli now turns to the early baroque period for the first time in her recording career and uncovers a treasure of beautiful music in an album almost entirely composed of world premiere recordings. The album showcases the music of little-known Italian composer Agostino Steffani (1654 1728), and will include solo arias of various moods and styles, several duets, solo numbers with chorus - all sung in Italian - and instrumental interludes that create an organic transition from one piece to the next and an arc that reaches from the beginning to the end of the album. Steffani's story is mysterious at the very least; his name is largely absent from studies of Italian music despite holding senior court positions during his lifetime and contemporary accounts acknowledging him as one of the greatest opera composers of the period and the acknowledged master of the vocal duet (Colin Timm's, author of the booklet note). Such was the appeal of the project that longtime Bartoli admirer and global best-selling author Donna Leon decided to write a mystery novel - Jewels of Paradise - to accompany Cecilia's album, which uses the mystery surrounding the composer's story as the centre of it's plot. Jewels of Paradise will be released simultaneously with Cecilia Bartoli's album in English (UK and USA), German, French, Dutch, Spanish and Catalan. Among the distinguished names appearing on Mission is star French counter-tenor Philippe Jaroussky who features in a first-time collaboration with Cecilia on a selection of duets, alongside the Coro della Radio televisione Svizzera, the period orchestra I Barocchisti from Lugano, Switzerland, and conductor Diego Fasolis."Mission" is a remarkable CD featuring the celebrated mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli, conducted by Diego Fasolis and accompanied by the acclaimed ensemble I Barocchisti. This album explores the music of Agostino Steffani, an Italian Baroque composer whose works had long been overshadowed until this passionate revival. Through dazzling vocal artistry and historically informed performance, Bartoli brings to life Steffani's arias with emotional depth and technical brilliance. The collaboration with Diego Fasolis and I Barocchisti ensures an authentic baroque sound that captivates both connoisseurs and newcomers alike. Released under Decca, a prestigious label known for its commitment to excellence in classical music recordings since 1929, "Mission" stands as a testament to artistic discovery and musical mastery. Cecilia Bartoli has garnered international acclaim for her expressive voice and innovative projects; she is renowned for Grammy-winning albums such as "Sacrificium" and "Maria," making her one of the most influential opera singers of our time. |  | No. of tracks: |
