“[…] 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)”

“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.”
