Philippe Jaroussky - Virtuoso Cantatas - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Philippe Jaroussky brings his musical and dramatic powers to a programme of music from Italian oratorios of the baroque era, including five arias in world premiere recordings. La vanità del mondo, takes it's name from an oratorio by Pietro Torri and among the other composers are Händel, Scarlatti, Vivaldi, Hasse, Fago and Caldara. InchI think composers of this period often give of their best when setting the great stories of the Old Testament,Inch says Jaroussky. InchAnd if oratorio stories are more static than opera, they allow for deeper reflection on the place of mankind in the universe. I think that resonates with particular intensity in 2020, a year of pandemic.Inch Album Tracks 1. Abramo InchPerché Più FrancoInch (Isacco) 2.

La Storia Di Orfeo - Philippe Jaroussky - With Philippe Jaroussky's new album, Storia di Orfeo, the French countertenor realises a long-held dream to portray the mythic Orpheus - divine musician who ventures into the underworld to retrieve his beloved wife Eurydice from the clutches of death - in his many guises, an inspiration for the very first opera and beyond. InchThis project, which was inspired by three key 17th-century operas, was conceived as a kind of opera in miniature or as a cantata for two solo voices and chorus, and features just two characters Orpheus and Eurydice,Inch explains Jaroussky. InchThe three operas focus on different aspects of the story Sartorio and Rossi depict the happiness of the young lovers and the scene in which Eurydice is bitten by the snake; Monteverdi, on the other hand, concentrates more on Orpheus' search for Eurydice in the underworld, and the highpoint of his work is an aria that has remained without parallel in the history of opera the magical 'Possente spirto', which I have the temerity to perform here as a countertenor, for the first time on record.Inch He is joined by sublime soprano Emoke Baráth and period-instrument ensemble par excellence I Barocchisti with Diego Fasolis at the helm. A journey to the beginnings of opera, to the Italian Baroque, to the underworld and back. Album Tracks 1. L'orfeo Sinfonia 14 L'orfeo, Act 3 InchLagrime, Dove Sete?Inch (Orfeo) 2.
