Product Description
CD Description
With this recital, the French countertenor turns to the music of Johann Christian Bach. This new recital brings together arias from six of his operas, written for Milan, Mannheim and London, the city in which he spent the last 20 years of his life and where, in 1764, he met the Mozart, then a touring child prodigy.

A great treasure for every seria lover and a welcome set of beautiful pages of forgotten music from the XVIIIth century: one hour of pure joy and sheer pleasure, both vocally and instrumentally. Jaroussky always amazing (some occasional too "dry" high tenuto notes, but gorgeous singing and technique, as usual, more than often very impassioned). One wonders why such a composer and the whole repertoire of seria from the period---with too few exceptions---took so long to be "discovered" again. Could it be because if we go on this way this would necessarily lead (and about time!) to a redefinition, to say the least, of Mozart as an opera composer?

I first heard Jaroussky sing in a dvd of Landi's Il Sant'Alessio, conducted by William Christie. I thought immediately that this was a countertenor with a difference! Nothing forced or artificial about this sound, and an almost ethereal sweetness. He is, if anything, even more outstanding on this disc.
I should say that everything about this cd is outstanding in my opinion; a model for anyone who wished to expose the general public to the works of a still not widely performed composer. The booklet is attractively produced with period portraits and excellent background notes (if a little too fat to fit comfortably in its case!). The instrumentalists have an impeccable sense of style, and the choice of music is varied and unfailingly interesting. It is fascinating to listen to arias written in 1778, when Mozart and his old teacher were briefly staying together in Paris. Do I detect a certain amount of cross-fertilisation? Again, full marks for this wonderful disc of music from an unjustly neglected master!
