Philippe Jaroussky, described by Germany's Die Zeit as "the Apollo of countertenors', stands out among his many talented contemporaries as much for the soprano-like beauty of his tone as for the elegance and insight of his interpretations and his adventurous and erudite approach to repertoire - whether unearthing neglected scores by little-known composers or venturing beyond the Baroque into the 19th and 20th centuries.

Established as one of Virgin Classics' bestselling artists, Jaroussky, now aged 34, has been honoured three times in the Victoires de la Musique awards in his native France and has also received Germany's most prominent music prize, the Echo Klassik. His diverse achievements are saluted in two new collections on Virgin Classics - the 2CD set "The Voice" and the DVD and Blu Ray "La Voix des rêves: Greatest moments in Concert".

"THE VOICE" 2 CD Best of Philippe Jaroussky comprises 31 tracks chosen by the singer himself and six previously unreleased tracks of music by Handel and Purcell. Vivaldi takes pride of place on the album, but other composers include Caldara, Porpora and JC Bach and, from later eras, Fauré, Reynaldo Hahn and even Argentina's King of Tango, Ástor Piazzolla.
