With its unique, soaring beauty, the high male voice is today enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity. Heirs to the ceIebrated castrati of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, today's countertenors produce their voices by wholly naturaI means. In this program international stars Michael Chance, Andreas Scholl and James Bowman, as weIl as pop star Jimmy SomerviIIe, shed light on the appeaI of the male faIsetto. What emerges is a compelIing portrayal of an unmistakable vocal styIe, rooted in church and operatic tradition, yet completeIy up-to-date, resonating louder today than at any time in the Iast two hundred years. |
