Philippe Jaroussky -
Heroes: Vivaldi Opera Arias
Philippe Jaroussky’s 2006 recital disc, a compendium of some of Vivaldi’s most beautiful opera arias for the alto and soprano voice presents a comprehensive sample of nearly 3 decades of Vivaldi’s operatic activity and explores many different aspects of a fascinating opus that is still largely unknown.
The majority of these opera arias were written for famous castrati of Vivaldi’s time: Giovanni Battista Minelli, Andrea Pacini, Francesco Natali, Giovanni Ossi… to mention but a few.
The disc brings together the “sublime and the tender” alternating virtuoso arie di furore e di tempesta with enchanting and poignant melodies each nurtured by Philippe Jaroussky’s intense dramatic qualities. Since Cecilia Bartoli’s Vivaldi album, no one has dared record this repertoire: Philippe Jaroussky takes up the challenge.
Philippe Jaroussky is accompanied by award-winning Baroque conductor Jean-Christophe Spinosi, and his ensemble Matheus, with whom Philippe often performs.
The repertoire allows Jaroussky to demonstrate his dramatic qualities, which are sure to leave listeners stunned. "The purity of his high notes, the fluidity of the legato and his natural emotion will move you to tears" the Nouvel Observateur wrote.
The vital humanity of Vivaldi's dramatic workslives on, in all its intensity, in this formidable recording.
