Beata Vergine



Early seventeenth-century Rome and Venice were the undisputed musical capitals of Italy, overseeing the emergence of new forms such as opera, cantata and oratorio. This programme reflects the diversity of motets written at this time for the highly-developed cult of the Virgin Mary, from a superb Salve Regina by the Venetian Alessandro Grandi and the enchanting Sanctissima Virgo by Girolamo Casati, to substantial, cantata-like works by Bassani and Colonna. Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky is accompanied by his chamber group Ensemble Artaserse, who also perform Bassani’s magnificent Sonata prima from 1683.

Philippe Jaroussky's technique has a perfect pitch control, expressive dynamics from intimate to operatic, astonishing agility in singing the most lickety-split 'passagi' of 32nd notes, thrillingly masculine affect even in his coloratura range.

This CD is a showcase of his vocal talents. The twelve motets have been well selected for variety, from the simplicity of O Quam Suavis to the aerial acrobatics of Corda Lingua in Amore, even though all twelve are Marian devotional pieces from 17th Century Italy.

Vaiety is enhanced by the inclusion of several duet motets, featuring the voice of Marie-Nicole Lemieux, whose warm contralto blends well with Jaroussky's steely blue soprano. Of the composers, only Frescobaldi could be considered well known even to specialists; the others - Rigatti, Caprioli, Mattioli - are forgotten masters of the glorious Venetian and Roman musical establishments of the early Baroque.

While this program of motets was obviously selected to exhibit Jaroussky's virtuosity, there isn't a single mediocre piece to be heard.
