Un concert pour Mazarin

Philippe Jaroussky

Crystalline countertenor vocals soaring over period instruments. A reverent, candlelit recreation of 17th-century Italian sacred music and courtly elegance.

2004 · Virgin Veritas

A reverent and weightless journey through sacred history that feels both ancient and startlingly clear.

Moments Worth Listening For

The initial entry of the countertenor in track 1, cutting through the instrumental texture with startling clarity.

The interplay between the cornetto and violin in track 7, mimicking the vocal agility of the singer.

The hauntingly sparse opening of track 11, where the harpsichord sets a somber, rhythmic foundation for the aria.
