Philippe Jaroussky / Le Concert d'Astree / Emanuelle Haim

"His voice was at first a beautiful and clear soprano, which afterwards changed into the fullest, finest and deepest counter-tenor that has perhaps ever been heard… Carestini's person was tall, beautiful and majestic…. It was the opinion of Hasse, as well as of many other eminent professors, that whoever had not heard Carestini was unacquainted with the most perfect style of singing."

Philippe Jaroussky's new recital "Carestini, a castrato's story pays a tribute to the famous 18th century Italian castrato (circa 1705 — circa 1759) for whom Handel composed Arianna in Creta. Carestini's qualities were thus summarised at the time.
