Cecilia Bartoli: A Portrait (DVD)

This release includes a mini-documentary about cecilia and a full-length concert in england. the mini-documentary is entertaining as it shows a very young cecilia (24 years old) at the beginning of what has become a one in a million career. The interviews are with her mother, a british record producer, the editor of opera magazine, and, of course, Cecilia.Also included are some segments showing cecilia's daily life, rehearsing with her mother, cooking, recording, and driving around. The concert is f enjoyable; mostly art songs and a few arias. Highlights include an absolutely stunning slow song by vivaldi and "una voce poco fa" from rossini's barber of seville.
