<< As for Bartoli, I have the opposite reaction to her. I never find her technique to be distracting, and I find her soulfulness so complete, that it transcends technique. For instance, on her recent Vivaldi disc, (amazing disc; one of a very select few classical desert island CDs for me), on track 4 in the recit, her emotion is so out there that her voice has distortion and grit similar to what one hears only rock or pop recordings. >>
I only have her early CDs. I'll have to check out the later ones. I may have spoken a little too strongly -- while I admire the early CDs, I'm not that moved by her. But then again, she was quite young when she made the early CDs and perhaps the emotion that I felt was superficial then is there now and is real.
