The Guardian – Cecilia Bartoli/Philippe Jaroussky review – poise, virtuosity and vocal fireworks
2017-06-26, The Guardian, by Tim Ashley
‘I am Music,” Cecilia Bartoli sang at the start of this beautiful concert, in which she joined Philippe Jaroussky and the Ensemble Artaserse – the period band he co-founded in 2002 – for a recital of 17th-century Italian arias, duets and instrumental works. […]
Above all, their voices blended together wonderfully in the duets. The close harmony coloratura of Combatton Quest’alma, from Steffani’s I Trionfi del Fato and Zefiro Torna from Monteverdi’s Scherzi Musicali was exquisitely dexterous, and a sensual fervour characterised the closing scene from Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea, though the central section was fractionally too swift for my taste.

Toronto Concert Reviews – LES VIOLONS DU ROY and countertenor PHILIPPE JAROUSSKY combine for a baroque operatic showcase!
2017-04-14, Toronto Concert Reviews, by David Richards
Jaroussky played the various roles with dramatically convincing portrayals in each aria, but more importantly with a beautiful singing voice that is difficult to imagine. He took the Handelian melismatic scales at break-neck speed without losing clarity. His musical phrasing was incomparable and when he hit the long-held climactic high notes, it was with such ease and purity as you could wonder why it is beyond the scope of others to match the quality. His voice was like a majestic song-bird.

intoclassics.net – Филипп Жарусски – Орфей – 2017
2017-03-29, intoclassics.net
“[…] Monteverdi, on the other hand, concentrates more on Orpheus’ search for Eurydice in the underworld, and the highpoint of his work is an aria that has remained without parallel in the history of opera: the magical ‘Possente spirto’, which I have the temerity to perform here as a countertenor, for the first time on record.”

Philippe Jaroussky singt Telemann und Bach
Wird publiziert am 09.04.2017 – (43 Minuten)
Der Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky kann auf zahlreiche Konzerte mit renommierten Ensembles, Orchestern und Musikern zurückblicken. In Opernhäusern und auf Konzertbühnen fühlt er sich gleichermaßen zu Hause. Immer dabei: sein Wunsch, etwas Neues auszuprobieren. Mit Unterstützung des herausragenden Freiburger Barockorchesters widmete er sich den Kantaten Bachs und Telemanns. Die Kompositionen Bachs und Telemanns bedeuten Jaroussky viel. Doch bisher stand immer die deutsche Sprache als Barriere zwischen ihm und den Kantaten. Für Jaroussky ist es wichtig, die Worte nicht nur richtig zu deklamieren, sondern die komponierte Sprache zu verstehen. Also nahm er Sprachunterricht und intensives Sprechtraining, lernte die deutsche Sprache kennen und lieben.

“Porpora Farinelli Arias
Philippe Jaroussky counterten Venice Baroque Orchestra / Andrea Marcon
(Erato)
‘Jaroussky’s rapid passagework in quick heroic arias is precise (the spectacular ‘Nell’attendere il mio bene’ from Polifemo) and Cecilia Bartoli pops up for a couple of love duets but the outstanding moments are slow arias that could have been tailor-made for Jaroussky’s sweetly graceful melodic singing (‘Le limpid’onde’ from Ifigenia in Aulide, featuring the pastoral delicacy of horns, flutes and oboes). Andrea Marcon and the Venice Baroque Orchestra produce admirable sentimental finesse or gutsy brilliance as required.’ David Vickers (11/13)”
