2015-11-02, Parterre, by Christopher Corwin
At this best, Jaroussky can still be fiercely moving but much of his music on Saturday seemed to lie awkwardly for his high countertenor, repeatedly pushing him into his weaker middle and lower registers. He also suffered more than anyone from the cuts that denied him the opportunity to carefully build his arias through their intended ABA progression. His—and Watson’s—finest moment came at the end in the transporting “Streams of pleasure” where the doomed lovers anticipate their imminent doom in music of ravishing sensuality.

Handel doesn’t give us some Christian dogmatist, but rather a liberal-minded Roman officer who advocates tolerance, plaintively sung by Mr. Jaroussky. There may be countertenors with brighter, bigger voices, but few with such melting sound and elegance.

Philippe Jaroussky est absolument éblouissant, comme l’on pouvait s’y attendre, de par son métier solide et son expérience aguerrie de ce répertoire. Les airs vifs sont parfaitement en place avec des vocalises nettes, précises (« Kind Heaven, if virtue be thy care) et la messa di voce véritablement radieuse ( « Deeds of kindness to diplay », « The raptur’d soul »).

2015-10-21, Opera Today, by Frank Cadenhead
The Roman officer who tries to save Theodora, Didymus, was sung by the celebrated counter-tenor Philippe Jaroussky. While the voice seemed to have a bit less impact that in the past in this same theater, it retains the superb grace and beauty which took him to the top. This and his instinctive theatrical sense make him appealing as the Roman officer who questions the authoritarian state.
