“The presiding genius is countertenor Philippe Jaroussky who sings gloriously (though he is arguably not best suited to Monteverdi’s high tenor hero in his lavish Possente spirto). Jaroussky is well matched by Emöke Baráth’s crystal-clear soprano. Sartorio’s post-Cavalli idiom is sweetly melodic; I was much more taken by the strong, eloquent extracts from Luigi Rossi’s Orfeo of 1647.”

Dass die erste bedeutende Oper der Musikgeschichte von einem der legendärsten Musiker der antiken Mythologie handelt, ist sicher kein Zufall: In seinem Orfeo gab Claudio Monteverdi diesem großen Sänger eine Stimme, deren Klang sogar wilde Tiere be-sänftigen und Steine zum Weinen bringen konnte. Zum 450. Geburtstag des frühbarocken Genies im Mai 2017 stellt sich der Star-Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky der Herausforderung, wie Orpheus selbst zu singen – mit einem Album, das die Orfeo-Legenden der Monteverdi-Zeit beleuchtet.

Hengelbrock programmed this evening – and this evening is a big deal far beyond Hamburg or Germany – and he starts with BRITTEN, then has DUTILLEUX (and the piani in the strings are unbelievable there) and then Philippe Jaroussky, from one of the balconies, sings “Dalle più alte sfere”.
This is the most brilliant piece of programming ever – the opening number of the 1589 Medici Intermedi in Florence, where the primadonna of the court descended from the heavens (well, stage heavens cart, but still) as the celestial harmony, singing this very piece that was, then, the latest in vocal development. I have never heard this programmed in a concert out of very, very obscure special events among Early Music nerds, and even then, very rarely. […]

Typical of the evening’s phantasmagorical quality was the moment we had to turn to witness a performance from high up in the balcony, a song for counter-tenor and harp from the Florentine Baroque composer Cavalieri, sung with yearning pathos by counter-tenor Philippe Jaroussky.
