Speaking of impressive technical skill ... I just listened to Cecilia Bartoli's Vivaldi Album released under decca label.  Although very proficient in the technical area, to me it sounds very much like she is missing the whole point of Vivaldi's music.

Interning, I have the very similar feelings about Bartoli. I own quite a number of her recordings and was twice of her recitals. The techniques she demonstrates were nothing short of unparalleled. However, while I was sitting at the concert and I hardly felt it was musical – it was rather an operatic freak show. I kind of get her  since then as  a "very dry dramatically" – good for tweeters time ailment only. Of curse I am kidding, Ms. Bartoli know what she does and she is perfectly capable to do the “musical things” but in any joke there is juts a fraction of joke….
