Phillippe Jaroussky-another star countertenor?

Jan 30, 2006-Judging by the new CD of Vivaldi cantatas released by Virgin, this boy deserves the buzz stirring in the ranks of countertenor aficionados. His voice exhibits exceptional quality, clarity and lyrical expression combined with stunning virtuoso ability. It is also individual: for the most part like a boy soprano with an engaging strength and "roughness" in the deeper areas of his range. Here is a high range without shrillness, brightness with a hint of shadow. Most intriguing, and added to my automatic collectible list. Pity that the other two known recordings by him are not available in the USA.
