The Independent – Philippe Jaroussky, Wigmore Hall, London, review:

2016-12-02, The Independent, by Cara Chanteau

Opera Today – Philippe Jaroussky at the Wigmore Hall: Baroque cantatas by Telemann and J.S.Bach

2016-12-02, Opera Today, by Claire Seymour

There was a strong sense of structural coherence though. A string diminuendo at the close of the accompanied recitative led expressively into Christ’s first aria, ‘Ich bin betrübt bis in den Tod’ (I am saddened unto death). Jaroussky here demonstrated the qualities that we would enjoy throughout the evening. His countertenor is flexible and relaxed; he can move through a wide tessitura without the slightest hint of strain, and leaps agilely between registers – the top is pure and clean, the chest register firm and full. He has an instinctive feeling for the musical phrasing, whether he is racing effortlessly through coloratura passagework or gliding through a lament. Jaroussky’s immaculate technique truly revealed the inventiveness of Telemann’s melodic gift. […]

ara.cat – Philippe Jaroussky: “La música de Bach necessita una mica d’imperfecció per ser més humana”

2016-11-13, ara.cat, by Marta Porter

Philippe Jaroussky, el contratenor més admirat i premiat del moment, torna a Barcelona. Després d’haver actuat al Liceu i a L’Auditori, demà debuta al Palau de la Música amb les entrades gairebé exhaurides. El cantant francès, nascut a Maisons-Laffitte el 1978, hi presenta el seu primer disc en alemany, Bach-Telemann. Sacred Cantatas (Warner) amb la Freiburger Barockorchester, en un registre molt més íntim i profund que les àries italianes amb què ha enlluernat el món.

Scherzo – CRÍTICA: Jaroussky arrasa en Madrid

2016-11-12, Scherzo, by Eduardo Torrico

Jaroussky estuvo soberbio, digámoslo sin ambages. A su consabido buen gusto, supo proyectar su voz para llegar a todos los rincones de un escenario inapropiado, por amplio, para un contratenor.
