countertenor<\/a> Jakub J\u00f3zef Orli\u0144ski\u2019s dramatic flair communicates visceral horror at God\u2019s chastisement, countertenor David Hansen\u2019s gift for surprise in sequences and cadenzas evokes the chutzpah of Eliab. Of the two principals, Philippe Jaroussky is a majestic Moses, striding athletically through two arias, one blistering and anger-filled, the other lyric and reflective.<\/p> I might wish that\u00a0Serpentes<\/em>, written for female voices only, had been so cast. But it is in fact Julia Lezhneva, \u2018the Angel\u2019, who dazzles most brightly. In her second aria,\u00a0she bends\u00a0prestissimo<\/em>\u00a0passages to swoop and jump, executing more notes per second at more extreme intervals than seems humanly possible. Breathtaking.\u00a0Berta Joncus<\/em><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
