La voz, entonces, es una verdadera voz de cristal. Para redondear el prodigio, la emisión es homogénea y el timbre, claro, con poco peso, se mantiene regular en todo el registro, algo no muy frecuente en los contratenores. Va un poco corto de graves, pero los agudos le son fáciles y de afinación y colocación perfectas.

Philippe Jaroussky é um fenômeno à parte. Seu carisma e natural musicalidade atingem o âmago da música, deixando seu raro registro de contratenor em segundo plano, como mero meio de comunicação. Tecnicamente, o cantor é brilhante. Além de uma perfeita emissão vocal e absoluto domínio na sustentação de notas longas, com parcimoniosos vibratos, Jaroussky logra coloraturas impressionantes, sem jamais perder a sentido musical e estilístico. Absolutamente integrado ao conjunto Artaserse, do qual também é fundador, o artista ofereceu interpretações de altíssimo gabarito.

There are countertenors, and then there is Mr. Jaroussky.
[…] with Mr. Jaroussky, there is scarcely a sense of anything artificial in the vocal production. He sings with an ease and fluidity that you would think could come only from a natural voice. And that is before you lay on his keen intelligence and his tremendous artistry. […] But there was no fault to find with the performances. In the repeats of da capo arias, Mr. Jaroussky ornaments his lines lavishly yet so smoothly and naturally that if you hadn’t just heard him sing the opening relatively straight, you wouldn’t believe he was making this up.Read more: [x]

Su canto fluía con calor, con una inconmensurable belleza serena y hasta confidencial. Era como si te cantasen directamente al oído. Tal vez por ello cautivó de una manera irresistible. Los fuegos de artificio dejaron en esta ocasión el protagonismo principal a los fuegos del alma.

La tarde estuvo a un pelo de ser histórica precisamente por ser histérica
Jaroussky es un cantante extraordinario, su técnica es impoluta: en directo, en una sola toma y sin red, canta igual que en su último disco – Porpora arias […]

Solche Töne kann nur einer. Töne, die zu regenbogenschillernden Kantilenen heranwachsen. Auf unerschöpflichem Atem gesungen. Wenn Philippe Jaroussky, 35, die Arie “Alto Giove” (“Großer Jupiter”) beginnt, herrscht Magie in der Philharmonie. Ist das wirklich noch ein Mensch, der da singt? Oder doch ein Kunstprodukt, das die herausragenden Eigenschaften berühmter Sänger vereinigt? Galante Anmut und jugendhafte Eleganz, makellose Virtuosität, souverän dosierte Farben. Jaroussky ist der Popstar unter den Countertenören.

However, the charming voice, coupled with a boyish charm and good looks, together with some Hollywood acting intoxicated the hall. And in the end, the audience, not even the most educated and sophisticated part of it, naturally falls into extatic rapture.
Но чарующий голос вкупе с мальчишеским обаянием и с голливудской внешностью действует на зал наркотически. И в финале публика, даже не самая просвещенная и утонченная ее часть, закономерно впадает в экстатический восторг.

Live review: Philippe Jaroussky, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, “Limelight,” the Classical Music and Arts Website, March 28, 2013
Philippe Jaroussky, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra City Recital Hall, Angel Place, March 15
With typical Gallic gallantry, then, Jaroussky neatly summed up the symmetry of the evening’s dual homage to two duelling voices of the Baroque: Carestini, the star attraction of Handel’s opera company in London, and the showman Farinelli singing in his mentor Porpora’s corner. Handel’s music may have won out in terms of modern-day popularity and enduring genius but, as Jaroussky and the Brandenburgs demonstrate, there is plenty of beauty and virtuosity to be found in the Italian composer’s work. His Alto giove, sung by Jaroussky in his typically sweet, focused tone, was a moment of profound stillness and pathos in an active program.
