Philippe Jaroussky . "Furibondo spira il vento " (Partenope) by Händel.

PHILIPPE JAROUSSKY, live recording
( probably Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, 2005).
Ensemble "Matheus", cond. by J.-Ch. Spinosi .

I´ve just found this INCREDIBLE piece in a mess of my folders and wanted immediately to share it !
Shame of me, but I don´t know, when and where it was recorded and I would be very grateful for some information about this concert !

G.-F. Händel, Aria of Arsace "Furibondo spira il vento" (Atto secondo) from the opera "Partenope" (HWV 27). This opera was composed to an Italian libretto, adapted by an unknown hand from an libretto, originally written in 1699 by Silvio Stampiglia. Stampiglia's libretto had received many previous settings, including one by Caldara.
The story about Queen Partenope ( the legendary founder of Naples) , who is pursued by no less than three suitors: Arsace, Armindo and Emilio. Although the libretto had been rejected four years earlier by the Royal Academy of Music as being too frivolous, Händel persisted, and "Partenope" premiered at the King's Theatre in London on 24th February 1730.
The score was completed by Händel just two weeks before the premiere.

The first cast were:

Partenope, Queen of Naples - Anna Maria Strada del Pò
Arsace, Prince of Corinth - Antonio Maria Bernacchi
Armindo, Prince of Rhodes - Francesca Bertolli
Emilio, Prince of Cumae - Annibale Pio Fabri Rosmira/Eurimene, beloved of Arsace -Antonia Maria Merighi
Ormonte - Johann Gottfried Reimschneider

The next season 1730- 1731 the role of Arsace was sung by Francesco Bernardi ( Senesino ).

"Partenope" was performed also in Braunschweig 1731- 1733 and in Hamburg 1733-1736.

Hello Jana,

Thank you so much for all these videos that allow to listen great recordings of P. Jaroussky . Where do you find all this?!!

Sorry for my english ; )

[JaRoWi1647]

@ILJ16

You´re very welcome! As well as your english! )))

I try to record as much radio- broadcasts as possible, but this one I got as a gift .

[kubinko444]

OMG!!!!!! Unbelievable! To see the score - the mad black sea of notes and even in the da capo Philippe adds more coloraturas than is written in score, it is unbelievable. With such ease. Again I stay with the big admiration to this singing. Thank you Jana, for sharing this unique music

[JaRoWi1647]

Yes, the score looks very similar to Vivaldi, I think. And an different ornamentation in Da Capo with much more difficulties is a duty of honour for an true Primo Uomo! :-)

[Lullamy69]

WOW! Really incredible! Thanks for sharing with us all!

[JaRoWi1647]

WOW and WOW again! Can´t stop listening...

I´ve also two other still unpublished arias in this mysterious folder....coming soon!

[Apollyon80]

An excellent interpretation of an excellent aria. Jaroussky takes his rage aria by the horns and dominates it throughout.

[Gentario]
