Born in 1978, Philippe Jaroussky has established himself as the most admired countertenor of his generation, as confirmed by the French "Victoires de la Musique" awards ("Revelation Artiste Lyrique" in 2004, "Artiste Lyrique de l'année" in 2007 and in 2010, CD of the Year 2009) and multiple Echo Klassik Awards in Germany (2005, 2008, 2011-2012 and 2015).
