Bach / Telemann: Sacred Cantatas

Bach / Telemann: Sacred Cantatas
- Shrink-wrapped
For his first album devoted entirely to works sung in German, star countertenor Philippe Jaroussky has chosen four religious cantatas: two by J.S. Bach (including the much-loved â€˜Ich habe genugâ€™) and two by Georg Philipp Telemann. Jaroussky is accompanied by the Freiburger Barockorchester, which also joined him for live performances at Berlin in 2015 as part of the singerâ€™s season as artist-in-residence at the cityâ€™s historic Konzerthaus. In late 2015 Jaroussky performed these works before a capacity audience at Berlinâ€™s historic Konzerthaus, where he was artist-in-residence in the 2015-16 season; this concert marked the first time he had sung in German to a German audience. â€œThe voice of an angelâ€ were the words of the Berliner Tagesspiegel, which also made clear that Jaroussky had the vocal means to express the drama of Telemannâ€™s â€˜Mount of Olivesâ€™ cantata. The Berliner Morgenpost, meanwhile, highlighted the singerâ€™s readiness to venture into new areas of repertoire, describing him as â€œperhaps the most adventurous of todayâ€™s countertenorsâ€. The writer also praised Jarousskyâ€™s â€œexquisitely fine legatoâ€ and evoked the way his â€œplaintive descant glowed over the inky-black accompanimentâ€ in the Telemann. The instrumental ensemble in Berlin, as on this recording, was the Freiburger Barockorchester, which gave its first concert nearly 30 years ago and is established as one of the finest ensembles in the field of historically informed performance.
