Philippe Jaroussky – Ombra mai fu (Cavalli: Opera Arias)

From the dramatic lamenti to the comic burlesque, countertenor Philippe Jaroussky brings the all the character and spirit of Cavalli’s operas to life in his newest album Ombra Mai Fu: “Beyond the great musical interest that Cavalli offers, his operas are notable for their richness and modernity, and for the diversity and complexity of their characters,” says Philippe. “Stage directors and opera houses are increasingly keen to stage his works. His operas are full of fantasy, craziness, humour and emotion. They offer a variety we don’t find in the opera seria of the 18th century.” On the album, Philippe is joined by soprano Emőke Baráth, contralto Marie Nicole Lemieux, and the Ensemble Artaserse. ________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: h
