Certainly one of the most outstanding and delightful counter-tenors of the current generation. His voice never anything other than clear and sweet.

[@brigittecosta4170]

Avec le Contre-Ténor Philippe Jaroussky : c'est toujours l'Heure exquise ! Quant à son Académie Musicale, elle est plus que Géniale... Grâce à son Immense Générosité, Philippe Jaroussky offre aux Enfants de Milieux défavorisés la Chance d'apprendre à jouer avec un Instrument de Musique !!!

I hate that I can only like this video once...

[@deborahr1723]

Ohhhhh my gawd me too!!

[@barbarahinz64]

I just love the way the pianist plays...so lovely, soft and smoothy...just great..I love that.

[@cecemath]

Hermosísima voz de contra-tenor, con la justa dulzura que precisa para ser interpretada esta divina pieza musical de Reynaldo Hahn... Verdaderamente exquisita como ese majestuoso momento del universo en que todo se silencia y nos permitimos disfrutar de un instante de la belleza. Bendito sea el arte. "Sin música la vida sería un error.."

[@DavidHughes-op6zl]

Exquisite. Charming. Beguiling. Perfection.

[@robertlittlebury1316]

Exquisite. Such sublime and precious beauty in our all too ugly world.

[@virginielafrench3921]

Admirable ! Quand Philippe Jaroussky chante,c 'est TOUJOURS l 'heure exquise

[@serafincarmelo]

Un vento leggero appeso al meglio di questo musicista che canta senza mai forzare il suo talento...

[@davidsolomon8203]

The song is unbearably beautiful!

[@enfava]

The strange but fascinating magic that produces a heartfelt poem interpreted by a subtle human voice... the synthesis of perfection...a supreme bliss!

[@multimill]

I was sorting through some old music this evening and came across D'UNE PRISON and looked that up on here for the first time. As a result I have discovered this extraordinary voice. It made my Saturday evening complete. I have always love Hahn's songs but to hear them sung with such a heavenly voice is beyond description.

[@AltaZhang-w8i]

La lune blanche luit dans les bois. De chaque branche part une voix sous la ramée. O bien aimée. L’étang reflète, profond miroir, la silhouette du saule noir où le vent pleure. Rêvons, c’est l’heure. Un vaste et tendre apaisement semble descendre du firmament que l’astre irise. C’est l’heure exquise!

[@sweetj2909]

thank you

Good job! Thank you.

C 'est le poème de Paul Verlaine. Un monument

[@judeirwin2222]

Lovely poem. Terrible Google translation.

[@SiMiChiamanoMariel]

I love him! I saw him at Guanajuato's Festival Cervantino, México; and He is one of the kindest persons I've ever met. He was speaking spanish and taking pics with his fans (all of them)... He is simply PERFECT! And he did a perfect performance with "La Arpeggiatta"... They were absolutely awesome!

[@sbmicro1896]

Les vers de Verlaine sont parfaits mais R. Hahn parvient quand même à y ajouter quelque chose. Miracle.

[@isaboubou2]

What a softness ! it is superb!

[@Fiammix]

Gorgeous, beautiful, expressive hands. I love that about him, combined with his smooth enchanting voice.

[@cinnamonchwan]

Quelle magnifique sérénité ...encore plus envie d'étudier ce morceau

[@pascalprevot1004]

Philippe Jaroussky nous délivre une interprétation inspirée pleine d'émotion et de romantisme, avec sa voix cristalline qui évite les vibratos et fait ressortir le texte. Absolument magique!!

[@lmharry7875]

Le vibrato est pourtant là, mais gérer avec parcimonie, placé exactement là où il faut et, en effet, sans excès.

[@pamphilia93]

I prefer this to all the female soprano renditions I've heard. Beautiful!

Exquisite hour English Translation © Richard Stokes The white moon Gleams in the woods; From every branch There comes a voice Beneath the boughs... O my beloved. The pool reflects, Deep mirror, The silhouette Of the black willow Where the wind is weeping... Let us dream, it is the hour. A vast and tender Consolation Seems to fall From the sky The moon illumines... Exquisite hour.

Genial Según La Terrasse, «este joven cantante, con el tono de un ángel y el virtuosismo del diablo maldito, ha entrado en el centro de atención en solo unos pocos años como el nuevo gran talento vocal francés». Wikipedia.

La luna blanca Brilla en el bosque; De cada rama Parte una voz Bajo el follaje… Oh, bien amada. El estanque refleja, Profundo espejo, La silueta Del sauce negro Donde el viento llora… Soñemos, es la hora. Un vasto y tierno Sosiego Parece descender Del firmamento Que el astro irisa… Es la hora exquisita. (Paul Verlaine)

Reynaldo Hahn: L'heure exquise, excerpt from Chansons grises No.5

[@christineannemarsden]

I can't say more than all the above! I'm recording all the Chansons Grises at the moment and will send a link for these to my wonderful accompanist! This is so very honest and beautiful. Can we have all the rest please?

[@serenaluce]

I fully agree with you here! Wonderful song! Hahn's masterpiece! This version is just "nice". The real experience that you are talking of is Nicholas Spanos's rendition! ITHAT is just sublime! Real relaxation "into a world of total beauty"! He is really a miracle! His version can easily be found in the video response to this video.

[@welenaXD]

actually this song is from a french poetry by paul verlaine (escuse my english im french ^^)

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

Sublim.

[@wookinooki9023]

if the song can be summarized in one word, it is : "LOOK!" (and the conclusion "let us dream") Keep your eyes open!!! You begin it perfectly. (congrats to the visual director) You are surrounded by darkness but the bright moon is shining on your face and you are looking up at it. The moon is your guide and you are your lover's guide. 1:32 vaste et tendre apaisement, really? your rushing & head movements indicate otherwise. 1:42 that facial strain WRONG!!! Don't go inside yourself, stay in the moment (or the forest clearing). You are TELLING your partner (who is us) during this moonlit stroll, to LOOK at this and this and that and that. You want her to revel in the beauties which the night offers to you both. "oh wow! it's the perfect magical moment. LET US DREAM." aaaand scene.

[@sjuli17]

@gibberth ...and Paul Verlaine :)

[@stellayichinwang]

@craigenputtock : Could you explain a bit more why it is so? I'd really like to know more about the song.

[@vogmaker]

It's such a pity that 'Like' is the only thing I can give you.........

[@enriqueali]

Very sensitively, beautifully sung. But I miss that exquisite pianissimo shimmer on the top notes that the most compelling interpreters of this gorgeous melodie all seem to share...

[@thomasgrubb4126]

First of all, this song is in 9/8 which means one strong beat per measure and not on every quarter note (the pianist plays the triplets like quarters, if you listen carefully). Finally, this anemic and asexual voice is unbelievable in such a sensual context. French melodie is not devoid of sexuality but, to the contrary, it is full of real sensuality, something very rare in other culture.

[@UnaDormienda]

A little learning is a dangerous thing ; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring...

[@Zractor]

Sitting at my desk, looking at the music... it's in 6/8. If you listen carefully, it's clear to me that the pianist is trying not to fall into the *1*23 *1*23 feel that many pieces in 6/8 fall into. Maybe it's because Hahn writes: "Infinement doux et calme" at the top of the page so the pianist evokes the still vastness of a lake by playing without accents so as not to disturb the surface of the water. The other thing that bugs me is that you complain about the sexuality of Jaroussky's voice. Completely disregarding that this song has nothing to do with sex, it's still one of the sexiest things I've ever heard.

[@gibberth-vicky]

@sjuli17 ... ok thanks

[@michaelnyman1]

Why 4 dislikes? That 4 people must die.

[@timothyfinch5571]

Pretty, but under pitch at times. He's flat on the first two of the last three notes. However, his syncopation and artistic interpretation are quite lovely.

[@142tete]

Indeed all his high notes are problematic: a bit out of tune and too thin.

[@Etrigan1201]

Thank you Maria Callas...

[@kevinbraden798]

Pretend its the 1700's and the Castrati is still singing.

[@DaSerratos]

This song was written well after the 1700's. Philippe's repertoire is mostly of baroque music but his Green and Opium albums are dedicated to french songs of the late XIX century.
