Sacrificium

Originally released as a deluxe, limited edition in October 2009, Cecilia Bartoli's 'Sacrificium' is now available in a standard, one-CD, jewel-case edition. The album was a critical and sales hit last fall and continues to be of great interest to Bartoli's fans and classical music enthusiasts. Here she uncovers the extraordinary and cruel world of the 'Castrati' and sings the glorious music they inspired. The album consists almost entirely of world-premiere recordings of some of the most virtuosic music ever written for the human voice.

bbc.co.uk - Charlotte Gardner
A classic Bartoli offering - an almost painfully slickly produced product that nevertheless sees off critical cynicism with its dramatic, technical and vocal prowess...[The arias'] virtuosity and range of emotion are as remarkable as Bartoli's excitingly, flawlessly passionate delivery of them.
