Philippe Jaroussky - Vivaldi aria

On February 28th, Philippe Jaroussky sings a Vivaldi aria, with that angelic & amzing voice.
Later on that evening, he is awarded 2007 best French lyrical artist.

I fail to understand why such beautiful singers such as Jaroussky or Radu Marian aren't more popular in the classical music world. We give due credit to Sarah Brightman, Jackie Evancho, and Charlotte Church, and Pavarotti had his time...so why not these amazing male sopranos? =/

This guy sounds like what the castrati sounded like. What an amazing voice...pure and crystaline yet more powerful than many female voices. This kind of voice is extremely rare in modern times. thanks for the post!

This aria breaks my heart... especially the way Jaroussky sings it. Once in a thousand years a voice of this frequency and beauty comes along. He is a miracle.

[@dhobbs2126]

As a baritone, I want to hate it...but it is so beautiful. That is a gorgeous voice.

[@ReligionIsSophistry]

I wonder how many men are even capable of performing this way?

[@TheStockingPerson]

How can someone dislike this video? Oh, the humanity.

Radu Marian was born in 1977, the exact date of birth is not known. But as he sings without any effort, he will probably not sound different when he will be 40 or 50.

Who expected a baritone voice? I sure did!

[@Schhmoop]

if i were a king i'd put up a golden pedestal in my royal garden and have him sing to me (exclusively) every morning. it just seems like these rare people are from a magical realm.

[@Miasmummy2497]

that composer gets mad tali. don't even question it.

[@Guichotpresident]

Guys, Jaroussky is the ultimate sopranist singer, such as hasn't been seen in centuries...

[@GARYDEE52]

This guy is possibly one of the best counter tenors of today..lets hope he records.

[@cealvarezp]

It is from Vivaldi's opera Giustino. The name of the area is 'Vedro con mio diletto'. This is one of the most beautiful things I have heard and seen ever.

[@renamunich1]

This is the most incredible countertenor voice I have heard ever and I know some of them - I am opera singer. Chapeau et merci beaucoup!

[@AvatarPrimus]

The Divine Jaroussky.

Fantástico, increíble, una joya ! a que alturas puede volar el ser humano! Bravo Philippe, Bravo Vivaldi !

[@taranvainas]

Yo estoy alucinado... Lo he escuchado hasta el momento no menos de veinte veces seguidas. Se me ha metido en la sangre y ahora sé que tendré síndrome de abstinencia si no lo escucho cada poco. Te amo, Phillipe, no me importa que seas un hombre.

[@baroquegeek]

Wow, wow, wow! That is all I can say. He is a rising star in the Baroque world. A voice that has such agility and such warmth. Listening to it haunts my very soul. I fear I may be in love.

[@mrsmotte]

is there any gift so lovely as the human voice? no instrument can duplicate it, only enhance it. thank you for sharing this special soul. i knew him not and am grateful to have this opportunity.

A beautiful performance. The ensemble was very good, and Philippe Jaroussky was superb. Over all, a splendid rendition of a true classic. Such a magnificent performance is rare.
