I could not disagree more. I find Bartoli's entire production to be very
breath-initiated. If her coloratura so 'muscular', she could not sing
fioratura at the speed at which she does. She is an extremely musical and
intelligent singer, and certainly one who will go down in history as one
of the greatest of all time. IMO, her vocal production is as close to bel
canto as we hear in this day and time.
