The well-known Stabat Mater pushes Philippe Jaroussky on his own personal stamp. If he uses, it is believed that he saw in this very moment the Virgin Mary on the cross stehen.Hier is not just about religious content, it is also about the love of a mother for her child. Jaroussky conveys this perfectly natural and without any pathos. In general, the entire CD his extraordinary sensitivity reflects. The ensemble Artaserse, here strengthened on orchestra size, is the ideal partner, the familiarity between singers and musicians can be heard clearly. The voice has matured and full of warmth. In Stabat Mater Jaroussky replaces the fantastic first violinist Alessandro Tampieri by Petr Ruzicka, who gives the work a completely different tone. Domine Deus is absolutely gorgeous, on the one hand because of the singer still existing sweetness brings here in the high altitudes to sound, on the other hand wins the piece through the sensitive accompaniment of oboes and Claire Antonini on the theorbo. A thoroughly enjoyable work.
