Guest soloist, countertenor Philippe Jaroussky (France)

Voted France's 2007 Opera Singer of the Year

Stirring, infectious, danceable, exciting, brilliant, passionate, haunting, grand, majestic

"Jaroussky. Remember this name: his star is clearly in the accent"
Gramaphone

French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky was voted "Operatic Revelation of the Year" at the Victoires de la Musique Classique in 2004.

The first half of this programme is devoted to songs and instrumental works from the great Italian masters of the very, very early Baroque from the early 1600s, some with derivations from dance music - infectious and stirring, such as the Ciaccona. While Stradella, with his brilliant powers of invention and beautiful melodic lines, links the early with the late Baroque.

The second half of the programme features works from the 18th century, including two of the greatest composers of the later Baroque, Handel and Vivaldi.
