[…]Lució elegante sensibilidad, buen manejo de los reguladores y un cuidado fraseo en «Im Frühling», precisos saltos de quinta en «Des Fischers Liebesglück», un cadencioso aire valseado en «An die Laute», un espíritu íntimo y doliente en «Die Götter Griechenlands» y una seductora galanura en «Wiedersehn».

“Con todo, algunas piezas sonaron más convincentes que otras. En la marcial «Gruppe aus Tartarus», por ejemplo, se echó en falta la intensidad que requiere la partitura. En cambio fue precisamente en las más intimistas, como «Im Abendrot», «Du bist die Ruh» o «Litanei» donde cautivó al público, que acabó aplaudiendo calurosamente y arrancándole dos propinas no por más previsibles menos acertadas: «Städchen» y «Die Forelle».” […]

Jaroussky made a power move in tackling Monteverdi’s “Possente spirto,” typically a tenor showpiece, as a countertenor. The reward was substantial; the top of his range was ethereal and airy, with no steely spikes. The small Boston Early Music Festival Chamber Ensemble, directed by Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs, demonstrated a masterful grasp of dramatic tension in evoking the rolling Lethe waters.

[…]I first heard Bejun Mehta at a Marilyn Horne Foundation concert early in his career. I thought then that he had the most beautiful countertenor I had ever heard, and time has not altered that assessment. He was joined by two other superstar countertenors, Philippe Jaroussky as Sesto and Christophe Dumaux as Tolomeo. Dressed in military garb with short trousers, Jaroussky looked and acted like a geeky boy scout, but his singing was fiery and passionate. Dumaux, bearded and louche, sang with equal bravura and had the richest tone of the three. […]

We forget, too often, that love and grief are two sides of the same coin. If you love, you will, eventually, grieve; if you do not grieve, you have not loved.
With the legend of Orfeo and Euridice, we see that inevitability played out. The popular myth, featuring the demi-god of song and a beautiful nymph, proved inspiration for many retellings, including the first opera over 400 years ago. […]

La direction du concert était aussi assurée par les luthistes Paul O’Dette et Stephen Stubbs, tous les deux étant précédés par leur grande réputation de spécialistes de musique ancienne. […]

[…] Jaroussky sang with heart-rending eloquence and enormous musical intelligence. His delicately weighted countertenor added a sense of vulnerability not often found in tenor Orfeos, but he fully brought out the role’s passion and despair. In one of the many paradoxes that surround this myth and its musical transformations, his intricate embellishments conveyed overpowering emotional honesty rather than florid artifice — as if these words, in this context, could be expressed only in this way.
