Mr. Jaroussky wields his sweet-toned voice to vivid effect in these 11 selections - The New York Times With this new album, star countertenor Philippe Jaroussky revives a selection of opera arias written for the most famous castrato of all, Farinelli. The composer, Nicola Porpora, was Farinelli s mentor and teacher, and despite a lesser-known status in modern times was a celebrated composer in his day, writing over fifty operas. This recording highlights 11 of Porpora s finest arias - nine of which are world-premiere recordings and includes two duets with famed mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli. It is Philippe Jaroussky s 10th solo album for Erato An excellent introduction for the uninitiated both to Porpora and to Jaroussky's artistry. --Opera News, May 2014
