With its unique, soaring beauty, the high maIe voice is today enjoying a huge resurgence in popuIarity. Heirs to the celebrated castrati of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, today's countertenors produce their voices by whoIIy natural means. ln this program internationaI stars MichaeI Chance, Andreas SchoIl and James Bowman, as welI as pop star Jimmy SomervilIe, shed Iight on the appeal of the maIe faIsetto. What emerges is a compeIling portrayaI of an unmistakabIe vocaI style, rooted in church and operatic tradition, yet completely up-to-date, resonating Iouder today than at any time in the last two hundred years. |
