Ópera Actual – Zúrich: ‘Alcina’, con Bartoli y Jaroussky, un duelo de titanes

2016-12-31, Ópera Actual, by Albert Garriga

Por su parte, Jaroussky fue un Ruggiero excepcional; dotado de gran musicalidad y una extraordinaria técnica, ofreció grandes momentos de introspectiva intimidad en “Verdi prati” y de gran gallardía en “Sta nell’Ircana”, acompañado magníficamente por el cuerpo de baile. Demostró el porqué de su liderazgo en su cuerda.

The Idle Woman – Philippe Jaroussky: Bach and Telemann

2016-12-04, The Idle Woman

The hall was stuffed to the gunwales; the atmosphere was palpable; and yet there were times you could have heard the smallest of pins drop. Refined, elegiac and utterly professional, Jaroussky showed us all once again why he remains the hottest countertenor ticket of all.

The Independent – Philippe Jaroussky, Wigmore Hall, London, review:

2016-12-02, The Independent, by Cara Chanteau

The almost over-familiar ‘Ich habe genug’, by contrast, showed Bach’s peerless genius for conveying deep feeling, as it floated on Jaroussky’s impossibly sustained legato.

Opera Today – Philippe Jaroussky at the Wigmore Hall: Baroque cantatas by Telemann and J.S.Bach

2016-12-02, Opera Today, by Claire Seymour

There was a strong sense of structural coherence though. A string diminuendo at the close of the accompanied recitative led expressively into Christ’s first aria, ‘Ich bin betrübt bis in den Tod’ (I am saddened unto death). Jaroussky here demonstrated the qualities that we would enjoy throughout the evening. His countertenor is flexible and relaxed; he can move through a wide tessitura without the slightest hint of strain, and leaps agilely between registers – the top is pure and clean, the chest register firm and full. He has an instinctive feeling for the musical phrasing, whether he is racing effortlessly through coloratura passagework or gliding through a lament. Jaroussky’s immaculate technique truly revealed the inventiveness of Telemann’s melodic gift. […]

Scherzo – CRÍTICA: Jaroussky arrasa en Madrid

2016-11-12, Scherzo, by Eduardo Torrico

Jaroussky estuvo soberbio, digámoslo sin ambages. A su consabido buen gusto, supo proyectar su voz para llegar a todos los rincones de un escenario inapropiado, por amplio, para un contratenor.
