Philippe Jaroussky & Artaserse

St James by-the-Sea

Jean-Christophe Spinosi’s artistic home is music of the 17th and 18th centuries. He also appears as an opera conductor, with acclaimed interpretations of works by Mozart and Rossini. For his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker Spinosi has put together a varied programme including two works from the Baroque period, a symphony from the Viennese Classical School and Romantic bel canto. Philippe Jaroussky is also at home in this repertoire and contributes arias by Vivaldi and Rossini in his brilliant countertenor.

Jean-Christophe Spinosi and Philippe Jaroussky

"There are countertenors and there is Mr. Jaroussky." There is nothing to add to the New York Times' verdict. Philippe Jaroussky is in a class of his own. His crystal-clear voice, incredibly flexible vocal delivery, and velvety timbre are simply fantastic. It's clear: He is one of the greatest singers of our time. But the fact that Philippe Jaroussky's voice is anything but mainstream allows him great freedom. And he takes it gladly, because committing to a specific repertoire is not his thing. That's why he regularly treats himself and his enthusiastic listeners to far-reaching excursions into surprising soundscapes, which are illuminated with touching sensuality by his finely crafted interpretations. His program, which he brings to Wiesbaden together with harpist Angélique Mauillon, is also extremely sensual: tenderly melting arias and madrigals from the early Baroque period tell of the sorrows and joys of love.
