Has anybody ever dwelled on high signification of sacrifice, which usually followed temporary trends ?   Another one nightly searching ....and I have found a good example.

Cecilia Bartoli  ( amazing mezzosporano )  has already recorded a new CD with music wrote by forgotten baroque and  classicism composers. Why weren't they occur among the most famouse groupe of artists f.ex. as Bach, Haydn, Mozart were?  Reason is so simple, they focused on writting works aspecialy for small music society - castrato singers.  Being a castrato  was a kind of classicistic trend, whereby were born ridiculous praxis. Many small boys, were castrated before puberty, then their voice retained to female high voices.    Bartoli found lot of intrest in contrast between castratos' high voices and their typical male physique.  Inspiration for her recording was also a extraordinary blend of strenght of male body and  sweet female voice.

This recording is absolutely great deal with the highest level of performance, but I do hope  baroque trend (what seems to be harmful both for boys and girls)  won't be another common thread trend from the past time.

Good news from field of Wroclaw culture life. Situation is not bad, becouse Bartoli and famous ensemble Il Gardino Armonico ( you can watch using attached link above ) have performed in Wroclaw during the International Festiwal Wratislavia Cantans in 2009 and 2001.
