Mezzos and countertenors keep coming. Blandine Staskiewicz is definitely one to watch. A high mezzo with a flawless technique, she sings with passion and taste at the same time. In this recital of fiery "storm" arias she proves equal to all the demands put on her. Vivaldi´s Agitata da due venti gets a model performance. Bartoli should hear this, coloratura can be musical and pleasing, and not sound like an AK-47.
Glossa gave their new diva the luxury treatment with the wonderful ensemble Les Ambassadeurs, playing that matches the singer in flawless execution.
Don´t miss this one, it´s very, very special.
