His recordings and concerts are eagerly awaited by admirers the world over, including Cecilia Bartoli, who has said, “There is a beauty in his phrasing and a delicacy, if not fragility, in his soul that touches the listener profoundly.” With pianist Jérôme Ducros, Jaroussky lends his gifted voice to the 19th- and 20th-century art songs of Fauré, Debussy, Hahn, and Chabrier, who set fin de siècle poet and countryman Paul Verlaine’s exquisite verse to music.
