The earliest recording of Philippe Jaroussky in the Erato catalogue, made in 1999, is his interpretation of Ismaele in the oratorio Sedecia, re di Gerusalemme by Alessandro Scarlatti. Now the countertenor returns to Scarlatti for a soothing but soulful aria from La Giuditta, based on the biblical story of Judith. Discover the album La Vanità del Mondo: https://w.lnk.to/vdmLY

"I try to think of each new album as a project that will complement my existing recordings, which include many arias from baroque operas and motets, but not from Italian oratorio – apart from my first Warner Classics recording, Scarlatti’s Sedecia, Re di Gerusalemme," Philippe says. "That being said, I am very fond of oratorio as a genre, because I think composers of this period often give of their best when setting the great stories of the Old Testament. It takes a stronger sense of spirituality to embody a saint – or even to portray God himself – in music than to give expression to the amorous passions of a prince or a queen."
