Overview
With his pellucid tone, musical intuition and expressive style of singing, the French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky is able to connect like few others with the grand gestures and vivid emotional shadings of Baroque vocal works.
He directs his own Ensemble Artaserse in a programme of sacred compositions, complete with Vivaldi’s plangent setting of the ancient Stabat Mater text.
