La Bartoli does it again!
What a performance...

There are no current voices that can equal the castrates of Farinelli's era.
For the Belgian motion picture 'Farinelli' that got an Academy Award in the 90s, they had to combine a counter tenor and a female voice.

I have to say that Cecilia Bartoli comes very close here. Wow!

It seems like a Bartoli evening.
We admire the control over her voice.
