“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 Guardian – Monteverdi, Sartorio, Rossi: La storia di Orfeo CD review – glorious Jaroussky
album reviewby countryby languageby source typeby typeby workenglishla storia di orfeonewspaperukwebsite
2017-26-03 The Guardian, by Nicholas Kenyon
“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.”

BR Klassik – “La storia di Orfeo”

2017-03-24, BR Klassik, by Annika Täuschel
“BETÖREND, SCHMEICHELND, SINNVERNEBELND
Dramaturgischer und musikalischer Höhepunkt des 64-Minuten-Pasticcios, das stilistisch erstaunlich nahtlos ineinander fließt, ist Monteverdis große Arie “Possente spirto”. Acht Minuten feinster Gesang, betörend, schmeichelnd, sinnvernebelnd, zum Zweck, den Fährmann Charon weichzuklopfen, um zu Eurydike in die Unterwelt zu gelangen. Philippe Jaroussky gestaltet stimmlich souverän, mit Geschmack für die Verzierungen, weder zu überbordend, noch zu wenig eindringlich – ein Meisterwerk vokaler Verzauberung. So dass dank dieser Aufnahme jeder versteht: Egal, wer der Komponist sein mag, dieser Orpheus singt wirklich zum Steinerweichen schön.”
