Philippe Jaroussky - Sacred Cantatas - DVD

Johann Sebastian Bach: Philippe Jaroussky - Sacred Cantatas version on DVD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company EuroArts on 7. April 2017.

Back to the Baroque: Philippe Jaroussky sings Bach and Telemann After taking a musical trip to the Belle Époque a year ago with the album "Green", Philippe Jaroussky returns to the Baroque on his new album "Sacred Cantatas". More precisely, the countertenor now devotes himself for the first time to the sacred works of Johann Sebastian Bach, specifically the temple cantatas BWV 82 "Ich habe genug" and BWV 170 "Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust". This programme will be complemented by Jaroussky's interpretation of Georg Philipp Telemann's cantatas TWV 1: 364 "Der am Ölberg zagende Jesus" and TWV 1: 983 "Jesus liegt in letzten Zügen". In addition, Philippe Jaroussky celebrates another premiere with his new album: for the first time in his career, the French singer with the voice of an angel sings in German. The opera singer is accompanied by the renowned Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. In addition to the standard CD, the "Sacred Cantatas" are also available in a deluxe edition. In addition to the new album on CD, it also includes a bonus DVD. Its unmistakable timbre and highly emotive expression paved the way for Philipp Jaroussky to become a megastar among countertenors in the past. His 2016 interpretation of Bach's cantatas confirms his reputation as an exceptional artist. Finally, also on DVD (for the album Sacred Cantatas, released in October 2016). Only the second concert DVD with Philipp Jaroussky. With three bonus clips in which Philippe Jaroussky talks about his work with the famous Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the works of Bach and Telemann. Live broadcast from the Alte Oper Frankfurt on 10 November 2016. The concert will be broadcast on Arte in an abridged version (43 min.) on Sunday, April 9, 2017 at 18:25 (the weekend before Easter). "When I perform sacred music, I experience something greater than myself - an unknown force. We can all feel this feeling, even if we are not religious. The cantatas of Telemann and Bach are particularly suited to this because they raise philosophical questions about death and the meaning of our existence in the world. Listeners are automatically confronted with these questions as they listen and are challenged to grapple with them." (Philippe Jaroussky)

Album spans genres Classical and Baroque.
