Philippe Jaroussky: Handel: Ch'io Parta

George Fridrich Handel: Ch'io Parta.
Philippe Jaroussky, countertenor.

Aria di Arsace:

Ch'io parta? sì, crudele,
parto, ma senza cor;

che nel mio sen fedele,
nel luogo ov'era il cor,
è il mio dolo

anyone know the scene at 0:51 seconds?

[sfkcbf]

@SUSHIroyalee This behind-the-singer stage scene at 0.51 is from the 1994 film "Farinelli."

à votre avis POURQUOI LA VOIX DE PHILIPPE A UN SON COMPLÈTEMENT DIFFÉRENT à celles des autres contretenors?? Moins affectée, beaucoup plus naturel, plus puérile... Infiniment plus douce et adorable????

1. Countertenor training methods are more advanced today than in previous times. 2. The particular voice teachers & conductors for Jaroussky have influenced his sound. 3.  Every person has unique physical traits. I believe that these play a larger role with Jaroussky than some other singers. He has good vocal agility, which shows especially with Vivaldi arias. His voice is light, however. For emotional, dark, "pathetic" arias such as Alto Giove, I would prefer a voice like Paul Esswood.

Breathtaking. Thank you.

I have no words to describe the beauty of this music and the singing of Mr.Jaroussky

@sfkcbf

Paul Esswood's voice isn't "thick", or "dark" either.

[olgasigrun]

@achantus1 everybody has the right to their opinion.I think Jaroussky and Scholl are the best but Esswood come close:)

[achantus1]

Am I crazy if I say that the greatest countertenor ever is Paul Esswood? It's just my opinion. I'm not an expert, but I've listen to recordings of Handel's music for 30 years or so.
