Intrigued by the CD "Opera Proibita" I was surprised by this CD. Unusually so early music (Cardala, A.Scarlatti) to hear with piano accompaniment. Hence only four stars because with some harpsichord accompanied aria would be more appropriate. But the booklet provides information why the piano because the Arias serve Italian singers as standard repertoire and acid test in their training. Excellent the artful interpretation of Bartoli. Definitely recommended!
