Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!.
What a surprise! This is my "favorite song" and I like male "high voices" or any unusual singer, really, often. It was a good demonstration and I like the jazz interpretation at the end, also -- the sax player and cello player are super cool. Greetings from Paris Saint-Denis, France -- uprated and shared.
Un de mes artistes préférés chantant un des airs d'opéra qui me fait le plus de bien aux oreilles, c'est déjà magnifique. Mais la tête de Grégoire devant un chanteur digne de ce nom est absolument jouissive.
Bravos! The jazz impro proves the genius and durability of Handel as a master of music. Forget the purists and narrow minded listeners. Handel forever, in any form!
So it is physically different to sing Bach or Handel. Coloraturas enable the singer to show his capacities of breath etc. Handel wrote down the coloraturas, but some singers, especially castratos, used so many ornamentations that the composer sometimes could not recognize his own melody. Then Philippe demonstrates how he improvises ornamentation. Very interesting, thank you for posting this here!
They talk about how Bach always remained in his country, while Handel travelled all over Europe, was international, even changed his name. And while Bach wrote without being preoccupied with respiration and other technical difficulties, Handel worked for singers he knew, and for their special abilities, and made them work it is bel canto already.
C'est avis très personnel que vous donnez. Je connais bien des mélomanes et artistes que je connais qui aiment les "fioritures" ou ornements. Et d'ailleurs beaucoup de pièces baroques sont volontairement simples pour laisser la place à "l'improvisation" des castrats. Un artiste spécialiste international du baroque compare cette musique au Jazz actuel : à partir d'un thème le musicien développe selon son inspiration. Mais il faut en effet du talent pour le faire de manière subtil et délicate !
Il faudrait peut-être arrêter de juger et replacer cet extrait qui fait parti d'une magnifique émission dédiée à la découverte et l'explication de la musique et du chant classique à un public large, non habitué à cette expression artistique et qui a l'immense mérite d'exister! Alors après la découverte pourquoi pas l'élargissement ludique à des expressions contemporaine comme le jazz... Ouvrir les oreilles, son coeur simplement, se laisser dérouter par mélanges inattendus, c'est la VIE!
a pantroleon te paso el nombre de otro aria el cual es tan bella es un aria da capo pero es espectacular. Es el mentre dormi amor fomenti del olimpade de vialdi. Si alguien lo busca que lo busque cantado por este gran cantante. Y si no os llegase a gustar (lo que resultaría dificil) buscad el vedro con mio dileto tambien de vivaldi.
je crois de comprendre ce que les musiciens veulent dire: on peut intérpreter une musique en differentes formes - la voix de ce jeune homme vient du ciel je crois:)
j'ai déjà lu pas mal d'inepties, mais là, il va être difficile de surpasser de tels propos! Les ornements sont partis intégrantes de la musique baroque. L'aria da capo, est superflue pendant que vous y etes ?
Mon petit Philippe, tu fais partie (excuse moi de te tutoyer) des rares personnes au monde à être addict à la plus pure des drogues : la vibration de la colonne d'air. Virtuose de la vocalise, une justesse hors du commun, et une pureté de tilmbre à faire se retourner La Callas dans sa tombe. Je vais m'arréter là, j'ai des fourmis dans les doigts... Ca s'écoute les yeux fermés ;-)
Le saxo à la fin est d'une horreur... Mais la voix est merveilleuse, incroyable. Il faut être sourd pour prétendre qu'un homme ne doit pas chanter dans le registre d'une femme.
@arpeggio 1358 - his technique is entirely in keeping with what we know of vocal styles of the 1700s - true, he doesn't sound like a modern large-hall nineteenth-century-style opera singer, but that doesn't mean his technique isn't "very good"...
@ripa600 As of me, I don't think I am what you call a snob, I love almost any kind of music and quite like many of the unorthodox approaches to classical music I've heard some truly great jazz rearrangements and improvisations on baroque music, but this is a quite poor one. Excepting Jaroussky, the other musicians aren't top-class, including the jazz guys, but the main problem is the lack of a transition to the jazz parrt, so it doesn't really fit toghether.
@Erikk91 Certainly, but your earlier post makes me doubt that you know much about early music, let alone that you've done an unusual amount of reading on the subject. Again, please go speak to an early music specialist. You may change your mind.
It's too bad that he didn't actually improvise that, that is note for note the improvisation from the movie Farinelli (made before he was born). Flawless though!
Ah les puristes... Ils ne comprennent jamais rien. Des vrais pharisiens! Ceci est une émission "grand public", une émission pédagogique. Alors voilà, on ouvre les portes, on respire et on laisse à chacun la possibilité de s'approprier la musique en général, et cette musique-là en particulier qui, plus que jamais, n'est accessible que si on y est initié.
La ligne mélodique simplissime écrite par Haendel est superbe, et fait plus que se suffire à elle même. Conseil aux chanteurs : NE VOUS EN ECARTEZ PAS ! Les castrats, pas plus que vous - mêmes, n'aurez jamais assez de talent pour en modifier une seule note. Les " ornements " ( = ces petites notes surajoutées par les chanteurs), sont toujours ridicules, et créent un authentique malaise chez le mélomane averti. Louis Mélennec de Beyre, artiste lyrique.
yeah i am not a fan of the jazz added to this song.. it is completely taking Handels style out of his own music. i simply dont understand this concept.
@Erikk91 - because women have a different timbre to their voices. A female soprano does NOT sound like a castrato or a countertenor, and producing a Baroque opera with women in the male roles is not authentic. If you're really a music student, please go speak to the voice teachers before speaking on this subject again. Right now you're coming across as very uninformed.
Le problème est, qu'à l'heure actuelle, on a trop souvent tendance à s'égarer, par souci de flatter le goût - rarement très fiable ! - du public. Cette quête, du "commercial à tout prix", est vraiment fâcheuse...!
@Erikk91 you are jealous of him !! Admit that... sour grape philosophy does not help you grow or improve your skill except making you feel better for a moment. You called his voice as "singing with a stupid feminie voice" shows how disrespectful you are to others. After all, you are un-known to others ...
You music snobs.. if you like to think of yourselves as great music connaisseurs at least try to learn to appreciate and respect other styles and interpretations and, above all, learn how to recognize quality music, otherwise you are just making fools of yourselves.
hate his timbre, his voice has no depth, he has no developed bottoms. he just uses head voice and has higher larynx position. u have to connect both voices, mix them and use lots of breath support to reach your true potential. that's what normal singers HAVE to do. they're trained hard to get it. normal soprano HAS to mix her voice, otherwise she'd sound like an immature castrato. don't know why but countertenors are exception, when it comes to the right technique. nobody teaches them how to support it like they should. it's acceptable to be mediocre. i guess nobody knows how the countertenor should sound like, so they don't know how to train them and accept them as they go. just train them as a normal soprano/alto ffs. if any soprano sung with the same technique as jaroussky does, she's be.... nobody. but as a countertenor you can make a great career without a proper technique. "wow, man singing high!" yeah, incredible.
Excéllente émission - jamais vu un tel niveau en télé allemande...
Philippe m'a frappé votre talent, ont ravi mon cœur.
erci pour tout ce que vous faites pendant la durée de vie TA en tant qu'artiste. taf289
Tem como não se emocionar com a voz de Jaroussky combinada com essa linda obra?
Verdade!
Handel e Jaroussky, não poderia dar errado... Belíssima ária, belíssimo contratenor, de longe o melhor da atualidade!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVOOOOOO ERES EL MEJOR!!!!!
Really! This is my "favorite song," as much as we could have one, and I thought the jazz piece was good! Greetings from France.
Is amazing the magistral use that he do of your vocal cords and all your phonic system!
fantastico sencillamenete espectacular¡¡¡¡¡
An excellent and easy-to-understand example of the importance of improvisation in both Baroque arias and in jazz. Thank you for posting.
Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!.
j'aime énormement
Vraiment excellent! 5 stars!

un miracolo ogni volta che canta
I just became acquainted with him in this clip and he is quite something. I like him very, very much.
absolutely amazing !

woooow c superbe
My guess is she is mesmerised by what she can hear, Jaroussky's voice comes from a realm that is beyond her imaginable...
LINDA INTERPRETAÇÃO!!! BRAVO
Maravillosooooooo....
Loved!
That was very enjoyable! Especially the jazz version at the end.
у Жарусски (субъективно) самый чистый, точный и приятный голос контртенора из нынешних. Божественный, без пафоса всякого утверждаю
❤

Agree with you my friend. And It's Handel to pionner. wonderful.
Absolutely right!

Like it or not, the jazz take just proves the durability of Handel's original.

L'aria da capo, est superflue pendant que vous y etes ?
totally agree...Dillettants rushing to walk in the footsteps of a grand artist whilst the sand retains the warmth of his feet....sortofthing...
La voce sempre divina, l'orchestra fa pena !!!!!!
A good song is a good song, if you sing it the classical way or play it the jazzy way...
Handel rocks!

Listen to Radu Marian. I prefer his version... BUT IT IS NOT TERRIBLE! JAROSSKY IS SO SO TALENTED!
Le saxo à la fin est d'une horreur... Mais la voix est merveilleuse, incroyable. Il faut être sourd pour prétendre qu'un homme ne doit pas chanter dans le registre d'une femme.

Farinelli !!!!! Quelle voix !!!!
Bien sûr, l'origine est cruelle !!!!
PAUVRE chanteur.....😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
hey guys ! open up ! Damnit
who's the chelloist?

Just shows how remarkable Handel's music is, if it makes good jazz. An all time great composer. Still prefer the original.

@supaitube Escucha bien, porque esto pasa al jazz lol y es muy bonito tambien
Subtitles would be good
people who judge the show when they don't even understand what jean françois zegel is saying and what he is trying to do...
@Erikk91

Jaroussky was 16 when the movie released.
Tiens, coucou le Quatuor Ebene!
4:11
Este hombre es fantástico. Qué pena la acústica, pero al del saxo no lo salva nadie, jajaja.
J' admets que ma vigilance avait trompé par ce type qui joue le violoncelle... aaaah
The saxaphone was heresy.Jaroussky has a voice more deserving than that.
such a classic piece got 87000 view, JB's trash got over 1million. smh

I think it's terrible that people actually think the way that you do.

que maldición con ese sax la cara de jaroussky lo dice todo!!! es una blasfemia a handel

Terrível!
jazz was not necessery,not at all!
Heh, the unsure look on Jaroussky's face near the beginning of the jazz part. Part unsure and part dislike.
@Erikk91 poor Erikk. you are so jealous of his talent... grow up Erikk.
He sounds like a little girl...
@Erikk91 you are jealous of him !! Admit that... sour grape philosophy does not help you grow or improve your skill except making you feel better for a moment.

Mais certainement pas PHILIPPE JAROUSSKY !....

that's what normal singers HAVE to do. they're trained hard to get it. normal soprano HAS to mix her voice, otherwise she'd sound like an immature castrato.
don't know why but countertenors are exception, when it comes to the right technique.
nobody teaches them how to support it like they should. it's acceptable to be mediocre. i guess nobody knows how the countertenor should sound like, so they don't know how to train them and accept them as they go. just train them as a normal soprano/alto ffs.
if any soprano sung with the same technique as jaroussky does, she's be.... nobody. but as a countertenor you can make a great career without a proper technique. "wow, man singing high!" yeah, incredible.
