Monteverdi / Pluhar: Ohimè ch'io cado - Jaroussky

leclavecisnistre, you SO need to loosen up. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not music. These brilliant musos are just having fun and using some Monteverdi as their raw material. Give it a rest.

I agree with you: they are brillant-though I do not appreciate C.Pluhar for what she does now (but this is another debatk, and I like the Landi album). Yet to me what they are doing here just sounds like calculated, without any spontaneity.
What I don't like is NOT what they wanted to do(even musicians might have fun) but it is the way they're actually doing it. This is slightly different. :)

d'accordo con voi!!!!!

God damn them! This stinking thing is absolutly a pure musical non-sense! There's NO ounce of music in this as well as their constipated smiles : it's just commercial.
People might enjoy it, that's good! but it doesn't mean it's good. Jarousky does have a great voice, it's just a pity he'd spoil his talent such a way!
Though I'm far to be a purist as a musician yet enough is enough!
Just listen to Uri Caine's version of Bach's Goldberg! This IS what I'll call improvisation. :)
Thanks

Far greater crimes have been committed in the name of populism and I hardly think they are suggesting this is the only way to interpret this music. Do you really think Uri Caine would agree with such circumscriptive purism?

And I tell you! Jarousski will be loved by all people!

this is so awesome =)
best part at 2.49 XD
he´s got such a great voice, luv it!

To: amongthegarbage - YOU ARE RIGHT!!! THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY AND GENIOUS! JAROUSSKI IS JUST GENIOUS! NO DOUBT!!!!!!! :-o

J'aime l'audace de Philippe J, l'humour n'est pas donné à tout le monde, merci pour ce délicieux moment !

he's so wonderful ;)
