Ladies first, with Emőke Baráth – a tender Amour alongside Philippe Jaroussky and Patricia Petibon in the recent Orphée et Eurydice by Gluck. Young French contralto Anthea Pichanick, who has been showered with competition prizes and awards, has the gift of extraordinary virtuosity and already knows Handel and Vivaldi like the back of her hand. Tenor Emiliano Gonzalez Toro has cleverly carved out a prime place for himself over the last ten years in the Baroque repertoire, in particular with Christophe Rousset. Lastly, countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, with his perfect timbre and curious and generous personality, likes nothing better than to embark on new ventures in the company of good friends. All for one and one for all in the service of some of the finest works in the Italian Baroque repertoire.
