Description:

Long-awaited DVD and Bluray release of Albert Oper on Frankfurt on 10th November 2011. Jakarta's Jubilee's October 2016 Bach & Telemann 'Sacred Cantatas' album with the same orchestra in their studio Version. Apart from the 2012 DVD / Bluray release "Greatest Moments in Concert", this release is the only Philippe Jaroussky concert DVD and Bluray currently available. When Philippe Jaroussky - Whose angelic voice seems to be almost timeless - sings works by Telemann and Bach, it becomes abundantly clear that the sheer emotional force and the purifying power of their music have not diminished one bit over the centuries. Including 3 bonus clips with Philippe Jaroussky talking about his work with the Freiburger Barockorchester and Bach & Telemann. Philippe Jaroussky has established himself as the most admired countertenor of his generation, as confirmed by the French 'Victoires de la Musique' awards ('Revelation Artiste Lyrique' in 2004, 'Artiste lyrique de l'année' in 2007 and in 2010, CD Of the Year 2009) and multiple Echo Klassik Awards in Germany (2005, 2008, 2011-2012, 2015 and 2016).

Performing sacred music gives me the feeling of encountering something that is bigger than myself. It is an unknown force that surpasses me. I think we can all have this feeling, even if we are not religious. The cantatas of Telemann and Bach lend themselves to that because they raise philosophical questions about the lives of humans. Listening to this music is inevitable compels. --Philippe Jaroussky
