She is joined by Decca’s other big opera star, Juan Diego Flórez, and they make a striking pair. He is all vocal fireworks and liquid tone, she luxurious of voice, dramatically intense. A treat for Bellini fans and how often can you say that nowadays?" -- Gramophone [2/2009] Cecilia Bartoli - Amina Juan-Diego Flórez - Elvino Ildebrando D’Arcangelo - Il Conte Rodolfo Liliana Nikiteanu - Teresa Gemma Bertagnolli - Lisa Peter Kalman - Alessio Javier Camarena - Un Notaro Orchestra La Scintilla Alessandro De Marchi front: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kfSxSdvex0k/SYGKAk_nuDI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/SZxWiyF2I_4/s1600-h/BelliniSonnambulaBartoli.jpg mp3@320 (3 parts): http://www.mediafire.com/?morkddy2jjc http://www.mediafire.com/?ft3chenbi0t http://www.mediafire.com/?bzmgynxbjwm ************************************************* Average White Band - AWB (Atlantic, 1974) 1.
