Cecilia Bartoli's captivating album, Unreleased, is a treasure trove of virtuosic concert arias from the classical period, featuring the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, and Mysliveček. Recorded in 2013 with the Kammerorchester Basel under the baton of Muhai Tang, this album was hidden away until its release on 19 November 2021. The result is a showcase of Cecilia Bartoli's electrifying form, as she brings to life 13 dramatic and demanding pieces, including 'Ah Perfido!' and 'Ch'io mi scordi di te?... Non temer, amato bene'.
With a duration of 1 hour and 1 minute, Unreleased is a masterclass in vocal technique and emotional expression, with Cecilia Bartoli's mezzo-soprano voice soaring through the intricate melodies and complex harmonies. The album is a testament to her dedication to her craft, and her passion for sharing these rediscovered treasures with her audience.
As Cecilia Bartoli herself notes, the process of revisiting and editing these unreleased recordings was a labour of love, and one that brought her immense joy and pleasure. It is this sense of joy and pleasure that she hopes to convey to her listeners, as they experience the beauty and drama of these concert arias. With Unreleased, Cecilia Bartoli invites you to indulge in a world of classical music, where the boundaries of time and space are transcended, and the beauty of the human voice takes centre stage.
