Haar geliefde Didymus kreeg in Philippe Jaroussky een voortreffelijke vertolker. Deze countertenor laat het nooit afweten: met die unieke klankrijkdom in zijn stem en zijn voorbeeldige muzikaliteit weet hij iedere keer weer je hart binnen te dringen.

Karina Gauvin ist eine hervorragende Partenope. (…) Star der Aufnahme ist Philippe Jaroussky in der Rolle des doppelgesichtigen, treulos-treuen Arsace. Sein eleganter, extrem flexibler Countertenor ist von makelloser, strahlender Schönheit. Jede seiner acht Arien ist ein unvergleichlicher Ohrenschmaus.

Karina Gauvin is an outstanding Partenope. Star of the recording is Philippe Jaroussky as the two-faced, unfaithfully-faithful Arsace. His elegant, extremely flexible countertenor voice is impeccably, radiantly beautiful. Each of his eight arias is an incomparable feast for the ears.

Na dohled svého listopadového pražského recitálu v rámci festivalu Struny podzimu poskytl Philippe Jaroussky, který je ve světě považován za jednoho z nejlepších kontratenoristů, HARMONII exkluzivní rozhovor. […]
Je pro vás tento podzim podzimem s Verlainem? Tak bych to neřekl. Mám jen pár koncertů. Ovšem cestovat s barokní operou je komplikovanější, vezete celý velký ansámbl. Co je skvělé, že tady můžeme dělat hudbu jen ve dvou – známe se s Jeromem osm let a program je nám stejně blízký. Pokaždé se stejným potěšením zpíváme s přestávkami celé dva roky.

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.
