Mario Bayo has won a strong following through her singing of Baroque rarities. Here, she turns to Rossini arias, on which her small, bright soprano generates lots of agility and allure but insufficient color and depth. There's the welcome inclusion of relative rarities, such as the aria from Rossini's first success, the one-act L'inganno felice, and an aria the composer added for a revival of Barber of Seville. Of course, that opera's popular "Una voce poco fa" is here, too, done with brio if not with the coloratura fireworks others bring to it. A special treat is the contribution of Rinaldo Alessandrini's Concerto Italiano. In addition to characterful accompaniments, they play two overtures with wonderful zest, see-through transparency, and tonal polish. Beefed up to 33 players, this crack period-instrument band imbues every phrase with life, and the sound of their wind section is ravishing. To hear the way the ensemble rips into the Overture to La scala di sieta is alone worth the price of purchase. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars Luscious! Wow! and double wow! Wow, again. And wow. Luscious! .......2006-09-13

Now this is what I am talking about! A wonderful voice, a great period instrument orchestra, an HIP approach and a beautifully recorded CD. What more could anyone want?

This marvellous and sexy recording of Rossini arias is just my cup of tea. Maria Bayo is just wonderful. Her period instrument orchestra is just wonderful and Rinaldo Alessandrini deserves a gold medal for this recording. The sounds are great and the music is just wonderful.

There are no other recordings like this one. This one is unique and there are no other recording of this repertoire on period instruments. So this is the only one available. But it is a wonder, nontheless.

Please consider buying this recording if you're a music lover - especially if you love Early Music and if you love 19th century opera - both come together on this recording.

3 out of 5 stars No es el mejor trabajo de Bayo.......2003-09-18

Definitivamente, la gran soprano española Maria Bayo ha dado un paso atras en su limpia carrera discografica, con este trabajo donde presenta una seleccion de arias de Rossini con suma correccion (lejos del excelso nivel de sus otros trabajos), y con algun que otro preocupante fallo técnico (tendencia a calar, graves poco consistentes...) En resumen, yo esperaba mucho mas de este disco por parte de Bayo.
Tampoco parece que sea Concerto Italiano la orquesta adecuada para este repertorio, los instrumentos de epoca desafinan aqui mas de lo debido, lo que desluce la grabacion.
La direccion de Rinaldo Alesandrini es lo mejor de un disco que solo es apto para fans de Bayo, o para aquellos que aun no conozcan el aria de Rosina tras la tormenta en 'El barbero de Sevilla', que Bayo recupera para el disco aquí, bastante bien interpretada.

5 out of 5 stars Super Compilation of Rossini Arias.......2003-04-06

Maria Bayo has one of the clearest, most flexible voices I have ever heard. She follows in the footsteps of her teachers, the late Teresa Berganza and Pilar Lorengar, with her Spaniard approach to Bel Canto and coloratura phrasing. This compilation has some rarities, excellent overtures, and the last aria (Track 8) really stands out as the jewel from the album. This is worth the price, being an import, and be sure to get her Mozart Arias and Handel Arias as well. She's one of the most up and coming singers in Zarzuela (Spanish bel canto) and lyric opera of Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti. I would not be surprised to hear her as the new greatest Lucia di Lammermoor after Anna Moffo or Natalie Dessay's recent attempt (which isn't bad, I might add, albeit different).

Yes indeed, the Divine Miss Em has still got it. It was the late 1970s when Emma Kirkby first became the leading diva of the early-music revival. More than 20 years on, as this disc of mostly lesser-known Handel treats demonstrates--a follow-up to volume I--Kirkby remains a spectacular Handel singer. The pure tone, control over vibrato, astonishing agility, and immaculate delivery that made her world famous are all still in place; if anything, two decades of experience have made her even more brave and imaginative in the way she embellishes a da capo aria. It must be said that Kirkby also retains a somewhat restricted palette of vocal color. As Ted Perry of Hyperion Records has put it, "She sounds like a nice person, and she is." This means, of course, that she has never sounded entirely convincing in portraying intense grief, fear, or fury. So her big soliloquy-aria from Alcina, "Ah, Ruggiero! / Ombre pallide," in which the eponymous sorceress tries desperately to conjure spirits, isn't entirely persuasive dramatically, however skillfully Kirkby sings it. The other arias are much better suited to her gifts, however: the melancholy in "Son qual stanco" from Arianna in Creta, the tender pleas of "Caro padre" from Ezio, and the dialogue with solo oboe from Berenice are all beautifully rendered. The beginning and end of the disc are the real treats, though. Kirkby's virtuosity in "Scherza in mar" from Lotario is positively dizzying, and her aria from Deidamia is both thrilling and emotionally affecting. --Matthew Westphal

5 out of 5 stars Handel at the Opera House.......2005-09-05

This is a marvellous introduction to the world of Handel operas. Emma Kirkby is in superb form and the playing by the Brandenburg Consort is also first-class. The well selected program includes a nice variety of absolutely fabulous music. This is a CD that you will listen to over and over again and never get tired of.
