Ecco un disco molto originale e affettuoso, di bravura e sensibilità. Piacerà ai rossiniani, che non possono perderselo, e lascerà incantati tutti gli altri, …Anna Bonitatibus li centellina con bravura, intuendo di ciascun brano, anche dei brevissimi, la nascosta fiamma segreta. La voce è limpida, fresca, di malia antica. …è un capolavoro assoluto di divertimento.Carla Moreni

Anna Bonitatibus offers exemplary interpretations throughout, and even renders the apocalyptic prospect of Orlando paladino attractive; but it’s the haughtiness of “Ho un tumore in un ginocchio” that is most entertaining, the heroine’s bogus sickness suggested by the dainty tunefulness with which she feigns a coughing fit.Andy Gill

| 2009 |
This generous compilation is the product of a novel and amusing idea to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Handel’s death. Excerpts from 11 operas and two oratorios recorded and released between 1986 and 2008 and spanning thirty-five years of Handel’s prodigious output, have been assembled to recreate a kind of facsimile opera typical of the 38 he wrote during his long and (mostly) successful career. It is an idea by no means entirely foreign or indeed to inimical to the composer himself; Handel frequently stitched together “pasticcios” from his works and some of his most celebrated creations are as much as 75% re-cycled musical material. Likewise, his star singers were used to producing an “aria di baule” (“trunk-aria”) as and when required, to be inserted willy-nilly into the opera being performed simply because it was a current favourite with the public.

Anna Bonitatibus’s singing is magnificent “Quell’onda che si frange” is deliciously sung, and her ornamentation and cadenza are fabulous.
David Vickers
GRAMOPHONE
Somewhat strangely, Elisa has the most arias. She sings of murmuring waves, flowers and gentle breezes, and had one not read the story beforehand one might have thought what a nice lady she was. One would be wrong. In Scene 5 of Act Two she urges Alessandro to kill Tolomeo by “ripping open his breast”. Bonitatibus has the measure of the role, be it expressing sweetness and light or voicing Elisa’s baser emotions. She experiences no difficulties in Handel’s frequently involved figurations and reveals Elisa as the most varied character.

Certes, le mezzo charnu et velouté d'Anna Bonitatibus ne trouve guère à s'épanouir dans une tessiture fort grave (Meliso) - l'une ou l'autre reprise laisse entrevoir des perspectives autrement excitantes et un aigu glorieux - mais son abattage et la noblesse de son chant compensent largement ces frustrations.Bernard SCHREUDERS

…Avevamo già notato le qualità di Anna Bonitatibus come Dorabella (Savona, Teatro Chiabrera, ottobre 1998): la ritroviamo adesso in un altro ruolo con le stesse caratteristiche vocali di allora, messe maggiormente in evidenza dalla scrittura riservata al personaggio di Ulisse; la Bonitatibus mantiene la freschezza e lo smalto del colore, l’agilità e la morbidezza nei passaggi, oltre alla nitidezza delle coloriture…Roberto Del Nista

Lettere Amorose

| Patrizia Ciofi, Anna Bonitatibus | |
| CD | |
| Virgin | |
| 2002 |
Op deze cd worden door solisten en Il complesso barocco onder leiding van Alan Curtis drie cantates uitgevoerd die zijn gebundeld onder de verzamelnaam 'lettere amorose', 'liefdesbrieven'. Deze stukken maken deel uit van de ruim zestig cantates die Scarlatti schreef voor het Spaanse hof en zijn waarschijnlijk rond 1735 ontstaan. De aanduiding 'liefdesbrieven' is in zoverre onjuist, dat deze cantates gaan over een liefde die inmiddels flink is bekoeld: in de eerste cantate schrijft een vrouw over haar verdriet aan de minnaar die haar verlaten heeft, in de tweede antwoordt de minnaar, in de derde reageert de vrouw gepikeerd op diens afwerende toon. Alle cantates bestaan uit twee aria's die steeds door recitatieven worden ingeleid. Zowel in de algemene expressie, als in de treffende weergave van details zijn het meesterstukjes die duidelijk maken hoe veelzijdig de componist Scarlatti was. Ter aanvulling klinken twee duetten uit opera's die Scarlatti schreef in 1703 en 1711, alsmede negen sonates. Zonder de sonates tekort te willen doen, is het toch jammer dat op deze cd niet wat meer plaats is ingeruimd voor andere Scarlatti-cantates. Maar dat is dan ook het enige minpuntje van deze cd.(JvG)

Anna Bonitatibus sings with plenty of spirit‚ accuracy and broad phrasing as Irene‚ and she is graceful in her Act 2 aria (where Handel uses clarinets).Published by Gramophone Magazine, July 2002
The shining feature of the cast is, without any shadow of doubt, is Anna Bonitatibus, whose lovely voice is not only more sensuous than this performance's prima donna's, but also more solid and impressive than this performance's primo uomo.RML
