Info for Ombra mai fu - Francesco Cavalli Opera Arias
Überbordende Fantasie, Humor und Emotionen: Francesco Cavalli und der Karneval in Venedig: Intensiv hat sich Philippe Jaroussky Star-Countertenor und regelmäßiger Eroberer der Klassik-Charts mit den 37 Opern des italienischen Frühbarock-Komponisten beschäftigt und aus etwa einem Dutzend sein neues Arienrecital zusammengestellt. Der Reichtum und die Modernität seiner Werke ist wirklich bemerkenswert , sagt der Sänger. Eine solche Bandbreite an schier grenzenloser Fantasie, Humor und Emotion ist in den Opern seiner Zeit sonst nicht zu finden. Das Album, welches neben facettenreichen Arien und Duetten auch opulente Instrumentalstücke enthält, erscheint zeitgleich als CD, digital und sowie als edle Vinyl-LP und rückt einen fast vergessenen Meister der Oper wieder in das verdiente Rampenlicht.
Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676) kam als Jugendlicher nach Venedig und war noch Schüler des Opernerfinders Claudio Monteverdi. Als in der Lagunenstadt die ersten Opernhäuser entstanden, in denen die neue Gattung vor allem zur Karnevalszeit auf dem Spielplan stand, wurden seine Werke beim bunt maskierten Publikum zum Dauerbrenner. Von großem Erfolg gekrönt war Cavallis Version des Xerxes von 1654, welche mit Ombra mai fu ein absolutes Arien-Highlight bereithält. Bekannterweise griff Georg Friedrich Händel 80 Jahre später für seinen Xerxes zum selben Libretto und es gibt so manche musikalische Reminiszenz zu entdecken. Philippe Jaroussky beschränkt sich in seiner großen Hommage an Cavalli natürlich nicht auf Arien aus Xerxes: Ich nutze Spielzeit des Albums voll aus, um die kompositorische Qualität und die teilweise extremen musikalischen Kontraste der verschiedenen Opern angemessen darzustellen. Die Liebesduette interpretiert der Countertenor einfühlsam an der Seite der Sopranistin und neuen Erato-Exklusivkünstlerin Emöke Barath. Zusammen mit der renommierten kanadischen Altistin Marie-Nicole Lemieux stellt Jaroussky sein komisches Talent in der Arie Ninfa bella aus Calisto unter Beweis.

Philippe Jaroussky
born in 1978 has established himself as the most admired countertenor of his generation, as confirmed by the French 'Victoires de la Musique' awards (‘Revelation Artiste Lyrique’ in 2004, ‘Artiste lyrique de l'année’ in 2007 and in 2010, CD of the Year 2009 ) and the Echo Klassik Awards in Germany in 2008.
Jaroussky's technique allows him the most audacious nuances and impressive pyrotechnics. He has explored a vast Baroque repertoire, from the refinement of the Italian Seicento with Monteverdi, Sances and Rossi, to the staggering brilliance of Handel and Vivaldi arias (singing more music by the latter composer than any other over the last few years). He has worked with renowned period-instrument orchestras such as L'Arpeggiata, Les Arts florissants, Ensemble Matheus, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Le Concert d'Astrée, Le Cercle de l'Harmonie and Europa Galante with conductors including Christina Pluhar, William Christie, Jean-Christophe Spinosi, Marc Minkowski, René Jacobs, Jérémie Rhorer, Emmanuelle Haïm, Jean-Claude Malgoire and Fabio Biondi. With pianist Jerôme Ducros, he has looked beyond the Baroque – to fin-de-siècle French song (the album Opium), as well as premiering contemporary vocal music composed for him by Marc-André Dalbavie (Sonnets de Louise Labé, which Jaroussky sang most recently at the 2014 Salzburg Festival).
He has been praised for performances in all the most prestigious concert halls in France (Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Théâtre du Châtelet, Salle Pleyel, Salle Gaveau, Opéra de Lyon, Opéra de Montpellier, Opéra de Nancy, Arsenal de Metz, Théâtre de Caen) and abroad (The Barbican Centre and Southbank Cente in London, the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, Grand Théâtre du Luxembourg, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Staatsoper and Philharmonie in Berlin, Teatro Real in Madrid, Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center in New York).
Philippe Jaroussky is signed exclusively to Erato and has received numerous awards for his recordings with the label. With Heroes (Vivaldi opera arias) and La Dolce Fiamma he achieved Gold disc status; his tribute to Carestini (with le Concert d'Astrée and Emmanuelle Haim) won CD of the year at the Victoires de la Musique and the Midem Classical Awards in 2009; his Stabat Mater with soprano Julia Lezhneva and I Barocchisti picked up the 2014 International Classical Music Awards for best Baroque Vocal Album and Best Opera Album. Of the 2013 release Farinelli: Porpora Arias, Gramophone wrote: “Jaroussky's rapid passagework in quick heroic arias is precise...but the outstanding moments are slow arias that could have been tailor-made for Jaroussky's sweetly graceful melodic singing”.
In recent years he has collaborated with singers including Cecilia Bartoli and Nathalie Stutzmann. With Ensemble Artaserse, which he founded in 2002, he gave the spectacular modern revival of Vinci’s opera Artaserse, as one of five exceptional countertenors in the cast.
