HANDEL: ‘PARTENOPE’ Il Pomo d’Oro; Riccardo Minasi, conductor (Erato). The period orchestra Il Pomo d’Oro performs Handel’s score with irresistible energy and elegance. The superb cast includes the bright-voiced soprano Karina Gauvin in the title role and the countertenor Philippe Jaroussky as Arsace, as well as the soprano Emoke Barath as Armindo and the mezzo Teresa Iervolino as Rosmira.

The important thing to know about this wonderful recital of French art songs – all of them settings of poems by Paul Verlaine – is that it’s a rare instance where song and singer become one. The French countertenor delivers the 43 songs with a poise, elegance and fastidious attention to text that illuminates everything from well-known Debussy, Faure and Hahn songs, to less-familiar settings and two pop songs. Splendid accompaniments from pianist Jerome Ducros and others.

In between, Jaroussky’s poised, elegant singing is unmistakably personal, born of musical confidence and linguistic ease. The cover art says it all: paired photographs show the lanky Frenchman both as a turn-of-the-century absinthe drinker, with floppy tie and walking stick, and in the same café chair with zip jacket and cell phone. He’s old-fashioned yet super-hip. Jaroussky never overdoes it, bringing ease and beautifully shaped line to the charming selections here.

Handel’s characters found their excellent performers in Katherine Watson, Philippe Jaroussky, Krešimir Špicer and Stéphanie d’Oustrac. The pure voice of Watson is full of beauty and inner persuasion. In her duets with Didymus it blended beautifully with the tones of Jaroussky. D’Oustrac set up a forthright Irene, while Špicer portrayed a compassionate Septimus.

At this best, Jaroussky can still be fiercely moving but much of his music on Saturday seemed to lie awkwardly for his high countertenor, repeatedly pushing him into his weaker middle and lower registers. He also suffered more than anyone from the cuts that denied him the opportunity to carefully build his arias through their intended ABA progression. His—and Watson’s—finest moment came at the end in the transporting “Streams of pleasure” where the doomed lovers anticipate their imminent doom in music of ravishing sensuality.
