Mr. Jaroussky’s silken voice proved alluring in these elegantly conceived interpretations. He shaded the texts with myriad nuances, as in the dramatic “Fantoches” from Debussy’s “Fête galantes,” a set of six songs, including a setting of “Clair de Lune,” that was featured on the program. His phrasing was admirable, as in the subtly shaped conclusion of Charles Bordes’s “O triste, triste était mon âme.” Charles Trenet’s jazzy version of “Chanson d’automne” contrasted with Reynaldo Hahn’s somber setting.

Financial Times – Only the Sound Remains, De Nationale Opera, Amsterdam — ‘Sensual and evocative’

by by countryby languageby source typeby typeconcert reviewenglishnetherlandsnewspaper

2016-03-23, Financial Times, by Shirley Apthorp

Baritone Davone Tines and countertenor Philippe Jaroussky are perfect as the earth/spirit counterparts of the two pieces (ghost and priest for the first opera, fisherman and angel for the second), Tines with his earthy, virile warmth, Jaroussky with his ethereal purity, the music tailored for these two exceptional voices.

[…]

Since this production goes on to Helsinki, Paris, Madrid and Toronto, its success was a foregone conclusion and transcends the petty judgment of irritable individuals. It is meticulously crafted and superbly performed; Saariaho is in fine form. Perhaps that is enough.

The Guardian – Only the Sound Remains review – almost perversely unengaging

2016-03-23, The Guardian, by Andrew Clements

[…] the presence of a dancer (Nora Kimball-Mentzos) does give one more layer to Peter Sellars’ otherwise inert staging, but emotionally and dramatically both halves of the opera remain almost perversely unengaging, despite the excellence of the performances from countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and bass Davone Tines under conductor André de Ridder.
