“This countertenor voice refers to youth, to the voice of a child. Then you learn with technique to develop power, because you play a lot without a microphone. Every morning, I train, to keep flexibility “, confides the lyrical artist Philippe Jaroussky, guest of the 23 Hours of franceinfo.
“Did you imagine that you would have this destiny and that you would become in some way the embodiment of the revival of baroque song?“, Stéphane Bern asks him. “I didn’t think I was going to be in all of the bigger scenes. Besides, it was difficult at the beginning to sing in big rooms. But I always knew I was a countertenor. I think you don’t become a countertenor, you are “, says Philippe Jaroussky.
Philippe Jaroussky has just released a new album with guitarist Thibaut Garcia, “A sa guitar”, (Erato). “I was very baroque fundamentalist when I started and then little by little I realized that maybe it was interesting to open the repertoire. […] There is probably a desire to convince that the countertenor voice is not reduced to the repertoire of castrati, to baroque music “, concludes Philippe Jaroussky.
