Operatic Brilliance: Arias by Handel, Vivaldi, and Others
World-renowned countertenor superstar Philippe Jaroussky makes a triumphant return to BEMF to open the 2022–2023 Season leading his Ensemble Artaserse in a beguiling program of opera arias and instrumental interludes. Heralded both for his uniquely captivating and nuanced voice and his keen musical curiosity, Jaroussky shares a selection of brilliant and beloved arias by Handel and Vivaldi alongside rarely heard gems by Baroque masters Hasse, Piccinni, and Ferrandini.

The Virtual Concert will feature some of Jaroussky’s favorite sacred pieces by Vivaldi, Pergolesi, and Scarlatti recorded at the Royaumont Abbey in 2020 with Le Concert de la Loge, directed by Julien Chauvin.

Philippe jaroussky, countertenor & le concert de la loge: Concert

Concert

Oratorio / Orchestral

Un concert exceptionnel, filmé dans le magnifique cadre de l’Abbaye de Royaumont où l’on retrouve l’artiste dans son répertoire de prédilection (Scarlatti, Vivaldi) mais aussi et surtout dans une pièce d’orfèvre, le Salve Regina de Pergolèse, oeuvre qu’il n’a jusque-là jamais donné à la scène ou au disque. Toute la dimension doloriste de ce chef- d’oeuvre est littéralement sublimée par le timbre unique de l’interprète, contrepoint idéal à la lumière feutrée du Nisi Dominus de Vivaldi, autre chef-d’oeuvre absolu dont Philippe Jaroussky est l’interprète de référence depuis de nombreuses années.
