Philippe Jaroussky, classical review: the countertenor presents Handel for the 21st century
by countryby languageby source typeby typeby workconcert reviewenglishnewspaperthe handel albumukwebsite
2017-11-27, The Evening Standard, by Barry Millington
Jaroussky’s sweet, sensual tone is a far cry from the chaste Anglican sound of the English tradition. His compass is wide, and though the top is not particularly powerful, there is little sense of strain. Above all, his singing is extraordinarily expressive, with impeccably cultivated vocal production. […]

Bachtrack – Baroque drama: Philippe Jaroussky’s Handel at Wigmore Hall
2017-11-27, Bachtrack, by Kevin W Ng
However, there are few things more sublime that Jaroussky in lyrical Handel. In “Se potessero i sospir’ miei” from Imeneo (cleverly reworked by Handel from one of David’s arias from Saul), Jaroussky brought a charming lilt to the vocal line, ornamenting the da capo with graceful runs and sublime high pianissimi. Radamisto’s “Ombra cara” revealed his penchant for seemingly endless legato lines, effectively shading his tone in response to the chromaticism of the orchestration. Best of all, however, was Tolomeo’s “Stille amare”, preceded by an accompanied recitative that showed Jaroussky at his most dramatically involved. The aria itself was a marvel of restrained tragedy, sung with daring vulnerability and exquisite ornamentation.

2017-11-10, stereophile, by Jason Victor Serinus
“Exquisite” is not a word to be invoked lightly. In the history of vocal music on record, there has been only one singer to earn that appellation—soprano Maggie Teyte, Debussy’s second Melisande, whom the great Polish tenor Jean de Reszke dubbed “L’Exquise.” To that exalted category must now be added countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, whose latest recording for Warner, The Handel Album, contains some of the most exquisite singing I have ever been privileged to hear. […]
The Handel Album has certainly earned its rightful place in my next “Records to Die For” listing. […]

CRITIQUE | Philippe Jaroussky : un Händel d’or et surtout de soie
Par Frédéric Cardin le 7 novembre, 2017
C’est dans ce magnifique spleen avant l’heure, version germano-anglaise baroque, que nous fait plonger Philippe Jaroussky. Cette voix onctueuse, vibrante de lumière, mais habilement tempérée par le velouté d’une enveloppe délicatement perlée peut être resplendissante de lumineuses dorures dans les triples saltos des passages ultra-turbulents. Ici, cependant, l’or fait place à la soie, tant par la finesse de l’interprétation que par la grande délicatesse de ces partitions admirables. […]
