Background: Cecilia Bartoli is loved the world over for vocal fireworks and spectacular coloratura, but she is also adored for her spine-tingling pianissimi and her ability to shape endless, velvety phrases. For the first time, this product will focus on the irresistibly sensual side of Cecilia Bartoli's art.

It has been conceived as a popular 'mood' or lifestyle compilation - presenting quieter arias showcasing Cecilia's vocal beauty, sensuality and emotion. Sospiri contains favourite arias by Mozart and Handel, bel canto jewels by Bellini and Rossini and treasures by Vivaldi as well as music which Cecilia Bartoli has 'rediscovered' on her recent record-breaking solo albums.

It includes a new interpretation of Rosini's aria Una voce poco fa, from Il Barbiere di Siviglia - the dazzling aria of young love, the role in which Cecilia Bartoli first shot to international stardom. She infuses this new interpretation with all her knowledge of the baroque and classical tradition on which Rossini's music was founded, her experience of period practice and critical reading of the manuscripts, together with a playfulness and variety of colors which she has acquired over the years.

The Prestige Edition also includes several duets, two popular ones: Mozart's Là ci darem la mano with Bryn Terfel and Mascagni's Tutto tace (Cherry duet) with Luciano Pavarotti and features a very original one with Maxim Vengerov: Mendelssohn's Ah, ritorna, an excerpt from the rarely performed concert aria Infelice!
