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.
Ca semble si facile quand on le voit et pourtant....énormément de travail pour en arriver à ce résultat. Il est vraiment épatant ! Quelle voix angélique et merveilleuse ! Et pas vilain physiquement non plus 😉
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! :-)
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
"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!
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..
Thank God Philippe was born in France. If he had been born in the USA, his natural talent would never have stood a chance of being recognized, appreciated and mentored. Instead, if he gave any indication of "individuality" of this sort, he would have been considered gender confused and either dragged to a minister or some Christian based psychologist who would label this talent "sinful" (there's always a convenient Bible verse to condemn others). Again, I literally thank God that he is French!
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
13, 14? years later, STILL THE BEST in the universe!!

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

BRAVO!, Philippe! Signor Farinelli would be contented.... Such passion.... Devotion.... Pleasure.... Have you experienced him live?
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?
Are you in Sydney too BaroqueFever? I attended his Sydney concert twice. What a bliss~
can anyone give me the lyrics of this aria ?
LOL!
I love Ceciia's coloratura face. It looks like she's having a musical seizure.
Still, she's incredible.

Quelque-un sais si cette aria originalement était écrite pour être interprété par un castrato ou par une soprano
whats the difference between a castrato and a falsetto? im not familiar with the falsetto term
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..

ArizonaWillful however did David Daniels emerge then? And before Jarrousky at that. Your comment is preposterously ignorant.
I have no words.... he's impressionant.. xD What a vocal agility!! is better than me doing this...jaja (Im a rossinian mezzo) ^^
Hej, og tak fordi du lægger skønne barokting på youtube.
Du skulle vel ikke have nogen videoer med dine navnebrødre Baroque Fever?
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.
So-ber-bio
fabuolously agile voice in the french (aka rene jacob) countertenor tradition...strangely, no trill.
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.

🦻🦻🦻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
lmao it is hilarious to see one famous counter-tenor commenting on another.
terrible, ha ha super
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

aww he sweated a lot. poor thing. must be a lot of effort
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.
its because of the hormones he is rumored to take to maintain his high voice that he has male breasts (gynecomastia)
I prefer Cecilia Bartoli. She articulates the music better.
This guy is undoubtedly exceptional but to my taste it tires me after a while.
leggerine?? zingaresche??!
God help us....to this we have come? Opera sung by falsettists with average voices.
Do you planned this to be funny? Hey man get back to school and stop writing shit about this great work.
