Perfidissimo cor!

Secular cantatas by A. Vivaldi

Friday 9 July 2004, 7.30 pm
Troja Chateau, U Trojského zámku 1, Praha 7

Philippe Jaroussky – countertenor
Artaserse (France)

The concert presented some of the most beautiful arias from secular cantatas and operas of the Venetian “red priest” Antonio Vivaldi dedicated to a male high-pitch voice – castratos then, countertenors nowadays. The virtuoso part was sung by the French countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, then still a rising star on the vocal-art firmament.
