A great Vivaldi CD to add to anyones collection. Jaroussky has such aggility and his sound is beautifully pure and mellow. Wonderfull. July 24, 2008

rating: 4 QuoteSome tracks better than others.Quote
This appears to be the second all-Vivaldi album of Jaroussky.
The countertenor voice is as good as ever in this album, but obviously the tracks are not as even as his other non-Vivaldi works.
The slower arias have a definte edge over the fast bravuras, a phenomenon that may be largely due to the lack of chest support when the singer is singing totally in falsetto in the countertenor fach.
Otherwise, this is another musically satisfying album from this phenomenal young singer. June 20, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteOne of two matching gemsQuote
If there is any possibility of finding two pink pearls it is the pair of recordings of Philippe Jaroussky for Virgin Classics (The Story of a castrato/Vivaldi Heroes).
Shining examples of the rare but alive art of countertenors, Jaroussky shows himself as a master, with such a refined singing that is possible to say that we have the best of countertenor: a superb singer with -thank God- not castration.
I find difficult to review one CD without the other, so this is a double recommendation. Under conducting of Emmanuelle Haïm (The Story...) and Jean-Christophe Spinosi (Heroes), Jaroussky validates an extravagant and uncommon -in modern terms- singing.
Pure gold. March 2, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteA voice to charm birds out of the trees!Quote
Mr Jaroussky has the voice of an angel with a maturity that defies his young age: and with the emotional intelligence to bring the arias into vivid relief. My hero remains the glorious Graham Pushee, but Jaroussky even now is moving in very fast on that mighty countertenor. October 31, 2007

I just recently discovered Jaroussky and and am beyond thrilled. I've never given countertenors much thought beyond an occasional Vivaldi opera but having these pulled together in one album changed it for me, all because of Philippe's incomparable voice and an upper registry clarity to make sopranos green with envy. In a matter of days, I've purchased several of his albums as gifts and found it funny that my two colleagues (with drastically different music tastes, one never having listened to opera before!) were listening to him with the same enthusiasm as I. Can not wait to hear more from him and hope that he'll tour in the MidAtlantic US soon. October 28, 2007
