Pablo solicited opinions about Cecilia Bartoli. Here is mine:
I think she's a brilliant artist. I am well aware of how unorthodox her technique is and how distracting her physical quirks can be (magnified on film, not nearly as distracting in a live performance, at least not where I sit!) but I think she is a magnificent communicator who genuinely shares with an audience. She is very canny in her repertoire choices, which I also respect a lot. Her sense of sheer unself-conscious pleasure in singing is something that I aspire to in my own work.
