With its unique, soaring beauty, the high male voice is today enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity. Heirs to the celebrated castrati of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, today's countertenors produce their voices by wholly natural means. In this program internationaI stars Michael Chance, Andreas ScholI and James Bowman, as welI as pop star Jimmy Somerville, shed Iight on the appeal of the maIe falsetto. What emerges is a compelIing portrayaI of an unmistakabIe vocaI styIe, rooted in church and operatic tradition, yet compIetely up-to-date, resonating Iouder today than at any time in the last two hundred years. |
