[kosoglazaya1]

каждый раз слушаю и не могу привыкнуть,такой титанический труд с таким легко и вертуозно исполнить?.Нет слов! невозможно просто описать в каком я восторге!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kosoglazaya1]

!ТАК ПЕТЬ!?УДИВИТЕЛЬНО ПРИЯТНЫЙ ТЕМБР ГОЛОСА!А КАКАЯ ТЕХНИКА ИСПОЛНЕНИЯ!БРАВИССИМО ФИЛИПП ЖАРУССКИ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Я ДАЖЕ ПЕРЕСТАЮ ДЫШАТЬ И БОЮСЬ ЗАДОХНУТЬСЯ ,КАК ЭТО ВОЗМОЖНО ?

[nikvalinsky]

People on youtube who bash Philippe Jaroussky's ability as a singer have clearly not heard this aria. Jaroussky not only displays incredible technique and articulation of each and every note, but shows off his incredible musical understanding and prowess. Great job Philippe! You are a singer for the ages.

[civilsavage]

this is incredible. now i completely understand that ages-old cliché of women swooning at an opera. that VOICE... amazing. just amazing. my heart is fluttering!

[MrRaoulblanco]

Simplemente unico, bravo!!!

[prysmith37]

Fantastic! Heart-stoppingly thrilling.

[margrant]

che bella voce!

[mon1650]

Merci aux musiciens et à celui qui met ses vidéos en ligne! Magnifique!

[throussin]

Lindo !!!!!!!!!!

[mounia813]

votre choix est splendide Baroque Fever . Merci de nous en faire profiter . J'ai vu et

entendu Jarrouski à Paris au début de sa carrière fulgurante et la salle était en délire

[Syloda]

@mounia813

Je suis jaloux... heureuse personne que vous êtes

[mounia813]

@Syloda C'est vrai , je le reconnais et j'espère avoir encore des occasions et casser

ma tirelire pour d'autres concerts à Paris ; dans votre cas , la jalousie n'est pas un

défaut mais un hommage à Jarrousky

[333azul]

Formidable. Incredible Jaroussky. 

[dogg47]

Philippe, Si J.S. Bach serait vivant, il composerait des airs juste pour ta voix et ton talent.

Mart

[RaffAff]

My God what can one say after that! Anyone with any musical sense has to love and admire you Phillipe. I wish you would solo with my choir "DRAMA CANTORUM" at New York University sometime. Thank you for you spectacular talent and devotion to music.

[ForrestThruTheTrees]

yes please.

[noelemusic]

Incredibile.. siamo al cospetto di un musicista assoluto, dotato sia di voce che, soprattutto, di tecnica straordinaria, che rende possibile riproporre i repertori dei grandi castrati, che ci regala stupore su stupore... e i soliti italiani si permettono critiche fondate sul nulla e sulla chiacchiera... E' vergognoso.

[schamas]

amazing...

[Euterpino]

Jaorussky ha una voce piacevole, ma va ascoltato in piccole dosi, dopo più di dieci minuti diventa pesante e quasi noioso...mi domando come sia ascoltare un suo recital.

Facendo un esempio un pò campanilista, jaroussky è come la cucina francese, gustosa se presa in piccole dose altrimenti diventa nauseante, mentre un buon cantante dovrebbe essere come la cucina italiana, gustosa, leggera e che non stanca mai(Ora non me ne vogliano gli amici francesi...)

[erikamabra]

je ne suis pas tout à fait d'accord... mais j'ai adoré ta comparaison ;)

[xr1983kr]

@Euterpino hai totalmente ragione!

[rad200505]

впервые его услышал на mezzo tv и влюбился в этот голос.

[TheBassoonista]

This man is such a musician.

[virgenmorena]

INCREIBLE!!!

[Anibaal]

No en serio, porque me pregunto, cuanto hay de hormonal en todo esto, digo, por lo de sopranista.

[rasamalai108]

Los hombres (a diferencia de las mujeres) tienen dos juegos de cuerdas vocales, uno corto y uno largo, el corto emite los tonos agudos y se puede educar -como es el caso de los contratenores- para cantar en tonos tan o màs agudos que una mujer. hay hombres con problemas hormonales que no son contratenores no está relacionado.

[erikamabra]

no, creo que estás equivocada. Todos tenemos dos pares de pliegues vocales. Los verdaderos y los falsos.

[rasamalai108]

esa fue la explicacion que nos dio mi maestro en clase de canto.

[jumpervolk]

aparentemente!.. si.

[leprincebeaumont]

Insomma...le colorature sono un po' leggerine, direi zanzaresche. Quanto al timbro, beh, è una questione di gusti. Spero solo che non sia il solito prodotto discografico, ma che abbia anche una bella espansione teatrale!

[maxtanz]

leggerine?? zingaresche??!

[leprincebeaumont]

Dovresti almeno leggere bene il commento. Ho scritto zanzaresche, nel senso che le sue agilità, ma direi tutta la voce in generale, mi sembrano esili esili, leggere leggere, come un filo disegnato in cielo dal volo di una zanzara. Io ho il sospetto che questo controtenore sia il solito prodotto discografico, magari fonogenico, ma che in teatro naufraga miseramente.

[sieurdubaroque]

Ma tu, l'hai mai ascoltato dal vivo?

[mounia813]

@leprincebeaumont Il est très à l'aise sur scène .Non il n'est pas seulement un

produit discographique . Son émotion passe dans des rôles qu'il interprète avec

un grand sens théâtral grâce à une musicalité maîtrisée !

mounia813

[Kalinedrea]

Magnifique !

[jewish1972]

he has a miserable body

[belsamur]

I should be so lucky to have a "miserable body" like his. Perhaps you're just wanting to have his voice and then you way with his body . . .hmmmmm?

[TalkToMe66]

Oh dear, have you seen him naked? Does he have something you do not have? - AT LEAST A GLORIOUS VOICE?

[JaredPaul54]

That is just plain inappropriate. Opinions of that nature are encouraged to be internalized and not shared in this forum. GET A GRIP

[wieck81]

I have an absolute certainty that the harpsichordist has tense spots in the forearms. Long time since I saw that kind of tense playing. All else beautiful in extreme!

[athiria]

Haha thanks youtube^^

[GuilhermeMoraesSanto]

Genioso!

[musicalmommymichelle]

Amazing coloratura.

Great ensemble.

Addictive to watch & hear. Bravi.

[tokyopigry]

Genious.......and he is so young too 0_o

[OrianaDiazL]

How come can he sing like that? wow...! :D

[Masamuneblader]

Most guys actually can reach that range just fine with falsetto but never bother to learn to use it. I've noted all my male friends can sing at least a G5 with exception for one that maxed out at E5 mind you these aren't trained singers or anything just friends joking around with friends.

[bowenwen1992]

You're right, Masamuneblader. Most guys have those ranges; they are just too shy or afraid to use it...

[fishhead06]

Oh gosh, what a cutie! And what a voice!

[amfortas83]

Philippe... YOU ARE THE MAN OF MY DREAMS!!! :)

[tritonusgesang]

Philippe, vous avez une voix merveilleuse et unique! - Vous la faites danser d'une facon (il me manque la cédille!) formidable! - Merci pour ce cadeau! :-) - Merci également à l'ensemble formidable ainsi qu'a Monsieur Spinosi! :-)

[boyd87]

does he have balls?

[caritas83]

yes he has them ! He is not a castrato , he is using falsetto thats all !!! He is a falset singer and a great one !

[chin2000000]

whats the difference between a castrato and a falsetto? im not familiar with the falsetto term

[Taskat]

Castrato was a term used for eunuchs of Opera, who were able to sing such high notes because of their lack of testicles. That fashion died out though and became basically extinct by the end of the 18th century. But, when Baroque opera was finally revived later on, men just used their falsetto voice to sing so high; falsetto is just using a different level of vocals to be able to sing high notes, as a counter tenor does. The medical details of how they do it are beyond me.

[chin2000000]

thanks! very imformative

[Taskat]

Eh, random knowledge is what I do...

I'm a Wikipedia whore:(

[CantoErgoSum]

"Castrato" referred to a singer who had actually undergone some physical form of castration to prevent their voices from changing. The most common form was removal of the testosterone-producing testicles, which would prevent the voice breaking.

These days countertenor singers simply use their falsetto, or high range notes/head voice, to sing these songs. There is a qualitative difference between a male soprano and a female, and some composers may prefer the sound of a male soprano.

Angelic!

[chin2000000]

if let say Mr Phillipe gone under castration,will his pitch and sound quality be higher? will his power as an opera singer improve? Cause i always wonder how Farinelli sound like..

[bandgeek44]

It's too late now, they would castrate the boys around the age of 10 to keep their voices. It didn't always work, some boys voice changed anyways.

When it did work they kept their boy soprano voices, but gained the breath support and volume of a grown man. Just a bonus fact for you: They were usually very awkward physically too.

[Patricio7777777]

the difference betiween him and other singers is that he is a charismatic human beeing so his singing sounds aswell. Other singers sound like melodic shouting roboters or mashines. A voice without a filling is not a voice it is only sound ahuman beeing must fill it with the liquid of charisma and you will feel it not only hear it...

[Alandix]

SUPERB talent, a gifted wonder, and I am glad to have heard it. Bravo!

[Intervain]

exquisite!

[rlee1976]

What I'm really thrilled with is his ability to move around but not do all those frickin WEIRD-ASS things that David Daniels and ESPECIALLY Cecilia Bartoli do with their hecks and heads and mouths when they sing incredibly fast runs. He's moving about, but it isn't like unpleasant or grotesque to watch , as with Daniels or Bartoli. Had to say it - u know it's true, so don't scoff!

[CantoErgoSum]

LOL!

I love Ceciia's coloratura face. It looks like she's having a musical seizure.

Still, she's incredible.

[ChenJiaWei0330]

the #F at 3:24 seems very easy to him.he is an angel !!

[teerstuhl]

Do you planned this to be funny? Hey man get back to school and stop writing shit about this great work.

[markdavinobenza]

Such easy production and he is very accurate. Probably the best I've ever heard.

[fafnis]

Great vocal challenge! but the orchestra is like a guitar played by a hysterical player...

[andreasscholl]

ha ha

[Masamuneblader]

lmao it is hilarious to see one famous counter-tenor commenting on another.

[shintee]

he is not bad but I dunno, I liked it A LOT just now when I listened to it the first time, but now, I dunno, lung capacity is good but he is not very strong and seems to sound strained all the time. man~ I am a bit disappointed now

[Bashkii]

I prefer Cecilia Bartoli. She articulates the music better.

This guy is undoubtedly exceptional but to my taste it tires me after a while.

[lchiner]

Merci de votre réponse RoiSoleilXIV au sujet des femmes a l'époque, en tout cas même si la voix de Philippe et évidement exceptionnelle, je préfère sans doute Cecilia Bartoli et même Vivica Genaux pour ce genre de musique je trouve que ça fait plus naturel, et surtout pas Danielle de Niese qui est surement une jolie fille mais rien de plus.

[mradaChris]

I think this is great!

chris

[mradaChris]

Why would someone give me a thumbs down for liking this! I have a right to like what I like!

[lchiner]

Quelque-un sais si cette aria originalement était écrite pour être interprété par un castrato ou par une soprano

[ziguibol]

C'est un extrait de l'opéra Tito Manlio. Je pense que c'était composé pour une soprano car dans la distribution il n'y a pas de contretenor. En tous cas j'adore.

[RoiSoleilXIV]

De ce que je sais, à l'époque il était interdit aux femmes de chanter au théâtre et à l'église (et c'est donc pour ça qu'on utilisait les castrati), donc cette aria a été écrite pour un homme, pour un soprano (le substantif/adjectif est donc masculin). Si dans la partition Vivaldi a écrit "soprano" et non "contretenor" c'est pourquoi ce n'était pas la peine de spécifier, car c'était quand même un homme qui chantait.

[vitroz]

God help us....to this we have come? Opera sung by falsettists with average voices.

[RRRyce]

I would suggest to you sir that you know little about the development of either opera over the last 300 years or the use of various forms of the male voice, especially the falsetto voice and a countertenor. Learn about baroque opera and then open your ears and listen carefully and then make a judgement on Jaroussky

[vitroz]

I suggest to you lady, that you have no idea what you are saying and what my background is and even who I am. Indeed I am familiar with the development of opera and unfortunately also with grand-standing and aspirational opera fanatics who believe in posturing more than what greatness in opera actually is. I wish you good luck in your quest to save the likes of Jaroussky...it will sure be an uphill and pointless battle.

[RRRyce]

While you are entirely correct in pointing out that I know nothing of your background or knowledge, one can infer much from your belittling orginal post. There was nothing enlightening,instructive or constructive in it. You do no good by such juvenile cheap shots.

[BernardProfitendieu]

what a pretentious writing style you have chosen! why? it just makes you look like an idiot. (your punctuation and sentence structure aren't the greatest, either)

game, set and match to vitroz!

[BernardProfitendieu]

next time you find your fingers typing something like "I would suggest to you, sir, ..." and you hear the words running through your head in a fakey British accent, do us all a favor and hit the "Discard Comment" button.

[fca69]

Dios Mío , impresionante .Estoy con la boca abierta

[arrasmontana]

simply the besttttt

[armycasa]

REALLY INCREDIBLE, this video show how perfect Philippe sings!

[flaviotrue]

Watch the video "Jaroussky and Spinosi: the making of "Heroes"". You can hear Jaroussky's voice when not singing is a normal male voice, very agreable and warm indeed. What we hear when he's singing is pure and masterful technique.

[rullstensas]

It is amazing what musicians can do under the steady but enthusiastic baton of Jean-Christoph Spinosi!

Bravo!

[duardolo]

this dude, philippe, is really something, we, in spanish, call "contratenor", i dont know what's the word in english for that, but it means that a man sings "like an alto", they're actually baritones, that's the middle voice in men, that using a tecnique their "move their voice" up, so to achieve those high tones, as an alto would. Their voice is above the tenors.

[tuffy942]

I think those comments are low and speculating whether someone takes hormones or not is not worthy of people watching the videos.Philippe is an artist and as such deserves respect.What he has done working hard at his singing AND unearthing some rare works plus sharing with us his talents merits the greatest respect.Not nitpicking at his body(which is also beautiful)

[mozart20dlubos]

I just saw an interview featuring him and he does talk in a normal male voice that is reasonably deep. For anyone wanting to see the interview, the video is 7-Hol17OjKI

[mozart20dlubos]

The castration could also explain his gynecomastia. If you look closely at his chest area, you can observe the faint outline of breasts. Now, that may just be the way his shirt bunches up, but, then again, it could be gynecomastia that results from castration.

[oneradical]

There is no way he is a castratto, First He is 30 years old, had he been castrated why didn't we listen from him before, when he was a teenager?. it's just recently that he has become famous, Second, if you listen to some interviews made of him, his "normal" voice tone is not higher than that of a tenor. The other reason why he shows a faint line of breast could be that he is being treated with female hormones to prevent his voice from getting any deeper.

[mozart20dlubos]

So you're saying the breasts are merely a side-effect of estrogen therapy ?

Anyway, I'd love to see an interview of him and hear his real voice.

[wujingcdh]

actually,i don't believe that there is still castrato something in modern civilization nowadays. i think he just has a over slender figure,a little bit feminine,that's all. True,not many men can sing this high,even in countertenors,but that does not mean impossible.with perfect talent and technique some top countertenors can.谢谢......

[mozart20dlubos]

I know the practice of castrating UNCONSENTING young males ended a long time ago. But isn't it possible for an individual to purposefully do it to themselves for career purposes ? However, I do agree that it might be a combination of supreme talent and some hormone therapy, which would conceivably obviate the need for outright castration.

[mozart20dlubos]

He's obviously been castrated, there's no way a post-pubescent adult man with testicles and testosterone could hit such high notes.

[rullstensas]

Yes there is. I can sing as high (though not as loud and controlled).

Ever heard of (male) sopranists? It is all about the practise and honing of the natural falsetto voice.

And concerning his "chest area", body's are different. And maby he's just enjoyed a little too much chocolate.

You should also know that hormone therapy does not alter the male voice (after puberty), that only applies to females.

Do your homework before you jump to these preposterous conclusions!

[mattymyboy]

if you want to get your controlled high etc.. well i sing counter tenor like phillepe but i just havent gotten anywhere yet because im still young but if you ever sang sopranno as a boy use the same technique.. ive never lost my head voice and i would never call it falsetto because its exactly the same way i sung wheni was young.. but i can sing in baritone range as well.. bu t mainly tenor..

[proudtobeasarahfan]

0.0 Omg.

Anywho, he has a good voice..not to my taste..but good.

[Bachsoboe]

For those living in London, Tito Manlio is at the Barbican on the 19th February. Different orchestra though, Accademia Bizantina with Ottavio Dantone.

[Bachsoboe]

Not relating to this clip, but Tito at the Barbican was fabulous. Full of wonderful arias. All the soloists were first rate.

[Alessandramarcano]

te Amo

[DADA090161]

que dire ?!...quelle merveille !!!!

[DiomedesTididax]

HE'S VERY FAST! my congratulations to this singer, one of the best in the world, i think.

[Tigermuc]

What an unbelievable voice! I am wondering if his heart his still available too...?

Christian

[mpiastra]

unbelievable!

[Gibraninsky1]

Wow! unbelievable! just wonderful. He´s something like Cecilio Bartolo, jaja. Even though he´s a little cold, i think.

[hobo197]

u know he has male tits!

[andreasscholl]

Male tits??

He is just cold...brrr.

Ha ha ha.

I adore his singing and he is cute.

[hobo197]

they are bursting out!

i think he should get a training bra!

look at frame 2:00 to 2:05.

[Roscieto]

Being sixteen, I can kinda laugh at that, yet do you really need to day such things? I mean there are guys who are easily offended by this kind of thing because of their bodies.

[bgudmundsson]

its because of the hormones he is rumored to take to maintain his high voice that he has male breasts (gynecomastia)

[LadyMoralqua]

I'd like to see/listen him singing Porpora's alto giove T.T

[BaroqueFever]

He recently sang Alto Giove at a concert in Sydney. the concert will be broadcasted in four to six weeks by ABC Radio :-)

[flebilis]

Are you in Sydney too BaroqueFever? I attended his Sydney concert twice. What a bliss~

[BaroqueFever]

Oh no, I live in Denmark... I'm looking forward to the radio broadcast of the concert, although I probably have to get up in the middle of the night to record it.

[hngltn]

He's very good but his interpretation of this aria not so inspired. The vocal runs are timidly short and the ornamentation lacks luster. Try Debora Beronessi for a great performance of this aria.

[flamencoprofundo]

Hej, og tak fordi du lægger skønne barokting på youtube.

Du skulle vel ikke have nogen videoer med dine navnebrødre Baroque Fever?

[BaroqueFever]

Selv tak, rart at møde et par landsmænd for en gangs skyld :-)

Nej, jeg har desværre ingen videoer med Baroque Fever. Der ligger et par stykker med CoCo på deres hjemmeside, nærmere kommer vi det nok ikke...

[wladi60]

Already on Friday? They maybe have luck! I would accompany you so with pleasure - Philippe one MUST see while singing! It is a miracle.... Do you come from Germany?

[Asterionu]

woooooooo... he is so talented T_T

i love his way of sing :D

[Njamh]

I have no words.... he's impressionant.. xD What a vocal agility!! is better than me doing this...jaja (Im a rossinian mezzo) ^^

[wladi60]

BRAVO!, Philippe! Signor Farinelli would be contented.... Such passion.... Devotion.... Pleasure.... Have you experienced him live?

[BaroqueFever]

Yes, last year in Hamburg. And I'm flying to London on friday to hear him again, he's amazing live!

[alexmacias]

Wonderful!!!!! I love him!

[tamerlano]

fabuolously agile voice in the french (aka rene jacob) countertenor tradition...strangely, no trill.

[wikke1]

rene Jacobs is Belgian ;)

[sfkcbf]

The vocal agility of the best quality countertenors and natural male sopranos is required to sing Baroque works written for alto and soprano castrati. People with breathy, warbly voices NEVER should try to sing these works. The notes turn into mud.

[senesio]

bravo philippe bonne continuation tedd
