"Opera ... must make one weep, shudder, die." Vincenzo Bellini

“[Bartoli] has aimed not only to present Malibran's repertoire but also to capture her sound. Bartoli's rich voice, with its pyrotechnical capabilities and dramatic powers, couldn’t have been better suited to the task...More than just a history lesson though, this is wonderful music sung by a modern-day star.” Charlotte Gardner, bbc.co.uk, 11th January 2008
