I was there!
For the first time at Phillippe's concert. It was almost like listen him for the first time at all. The impression is stronger, brighter, deeper and absolutely overall. The Voice filled the whole room at once with very ease. His singing voice possess superhuman intensity, power and deep-drawn humaneness (not speaking of absolute beauty!)

Concert hall was rather small, intimate and completely full of spectators. Acoustics, in my opinion, was ideal. An ovation - perfect. Phillippe... Phillippe is always perfect, but in Moscow he was also sincerely happy and pleasantly surprised by unusually passionate and warm reception by public.
Viva Philippe!

And here's some photos made my neighbors by the concert hall (my own concert photos have turned out pitifully bad )
So I thank Василиса Гарбуз who gave me this beautiful pictures!

Thank youuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (More photos, please; all the other are also sublime - post them!))))
Thanks a lot to Василиса Гарбуз for these pearls!

Here I translated some of the first short reviews of the lucky Moscow audience..........

"It is a miracle itself... It is like ..to visit the church... What for positive power ....simply superb... all the rest is just vanity, it is divine... Yes, it is the precisely medicine to treat the souls....."

"The yesterday's concert was simply overwhelming ! I didn´t hear anything better yet!!! Phillippe is a splendid musician!!! Huge THANKS to him !!! And in general, to sing in such closeness (and to sing SO ) is a real feat. During the insrumental pieces I hardly haven't lost consciousness... But HIS divine voice has returned me to life!!! Despite some minuses (I mean the weak play of the orchestra and closeness) the atmosphere was nevertheless remarkable!!! It is even such an universe love!!!! I didn´t want to leave..."

" The first that has amazed me in Phillippe Jaroussky´s performance, is incredible warmth and softness of his voice. During all the concert I thought that the recordings didn´t represent this really human warmth. Phillippe's voice enveloped all space literally, filled it and impregnated with itself : consciousness, listeners, and, I hope, also the walls of the Small Hall of Conservatory.
It is that rare occurence when you listen with bated breath, with desire to not miss the only one note and to save in your soul ...
I listened live to such a voice for the first time, and I can compare only with records- I will tell only that this voice developed from the one, released from all terrestrial, to a voice, which absorbed in itself the best colours of life and didn´t lose thus its beauty and transparency."

Aaaand......

" It was pleasant to see when before the concert Phillippe bought something to drink in the student's cantine there - the people, to put it mildly, didn't expect to see a star so close....."

" The singer put himself modestly to the student´s line at the cantine....(it seemed that nobody knows him . In any case, I haven't noticed enthusiastic sights)...He refused some water or tea and asked for Cola, thanked shy. He is really beautiful ...About the concert the people have told a lot already. Thanks to the fans from forum to persuaded me to listen . Now, I also know , who is Philippe Jaroussky. "

Waouw ! It should be unforgettable, unbelievable !! I don't have enough words in English to express it !!!
Thank you Nightspell and JaRoWi for your detailed report. "Nisi Dominus".. I'm jealous !!! And what about the famous "Cum dederit" ?????? It must be a magical moment, isn't it ??

It ´s quite difficult to translate precisely these excited experiences , simple because Russian is much more colourful and expressive than English, you know... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] But I do my best...
(In general, the people still don´t believe, that he is really there -most of them speak about a true miracle...)

Voilá, Nisi Dominus.....

( The quality of this pirate [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] recording is quite pirate, but we should be very glad to get it [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] )...

Tonight - St. Petersbourg........... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

you're all so lucky - I fear I'll never be able to see him live since he plans to "retire" in a few years and his schedule is filled up years ahead already.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

he had coke? was this before or after the performance? I heard you're not supposed to drink carbonated beverages before you sing cause it can cause you some embarrassment.. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

All you need - is just to buy a ticket and to go to one of his "full scheduled" concerts. The dullest way is just to "cry" here on forum. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

About Cola - Mr. Jaroussky prefer to drink it . (You "heard" about the acid food before the concert, I guess. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.])

For all the Russian (already) speaker and "will - be", too ! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

( I´ll translate soon, of course!)

Jana, thank you a million times for your pirate videos !!!
I've thought I was there with you during 10 minutes !!

NoteSensible

That are NOT mine videos! I´m not in Moscow, what a pity! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oh sorry my dear !!! I know that you go through all the Europe to listen to our dear Mr.Jaroussky, so I wasn't surprised of this new travel.
Don't be disappointed, thanks to this video, we can take part to this incredible concert !!
Kisses
And thanks to krelena !

JaRoWi1647, you're verrry welcome! More pictures from Василиса under the spoiler!

NoteSensible, of course "Cum dederit" was divine, but my personal strongest impression is the first moments of "Aaaaaaaaaaalto Giove" - then I understood the full meaning of phrase "waking dream"

NoteSensible

I would like to be there - and listen to Mr. Jaroussky together with my adherents and friends, but....I need a visa at the first... to travel there is more difficult than just to "go through all the Europe"... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
And I still have some obligations here at home, you know.... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
The next time, perhaps!


We have on YT also another " reporter" - tonalist , with really good quality of the pirate [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] recordings! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Finally, I may listen to his "L'angue offeso"......

Oh my!

The first photo directly from St. Petersbourg, by my dear friend Olga!!!! Thaaaanks!

@ Oh my gosh!

Thank you for posting those amazing photos and the links to the youtube vids.

I was there too, seeing him for the first time - just undescribable, beyond any words. Divine, pure beauty, my eyes were full of tears. Breathtaking.

unfortunately for me it's not that simple, there's airfare and hotel costs......on the other hand, my mum is very keen on taking me to Paris so you never know... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

OT

I guess, a lot people have the " airfare and hotel costs" ( incl. myself ) when they want to attend one concert of Mr. Jaroussky. Some people are comming also from very far away for it.
You´re lucky to have such a nice mum.

OT END.

Nightspell, Jarowi,

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!!!!! For pictures and for YT.
I listened the CD of Nisi Dominus many many times, but now I can see Jaroussky singing this beautiful pieces!!

All the superlatives fall short, traying to describe our feelings. I've only a word to resume: Jaroussky is LOVE.

Thanks again
