In Contra-Tenor, Michael Spyres ventures to the time of the castrati to bring to light the wealth of tenor repertoire left behind. Discover the album, recorded with Il Pomo d’Oro and Francesco Corti, here: w.lnk.to/c-tLY
As Michael points out: "The fame of the castrati in the mid-1700s has long been established, but very few people realize just how famous their contemporary tenor rivals were." The program highlights composers from Lully to early Mozart by way of Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, Gluck, and lesser-known figures in world premiere recordings.
Video: Edoardo Zucchetti

His approach of music shows that this shouldn't be rigid as many people see it. During the baroque era, nobody cared about the label one would put on your voice, it was just about beauty. Singers can venture out of their boxes if done intelligently, just like here. Thank you Michael Spyres

@aiamaterials5514 Жыл бұрын

Perhaps I don't understand your meaning, but the music is quite specific, in range and interpretation. It's something you can't see much anymore for that reason. It's for castrati. It wasn't about liberation of any sort.

I can't speak for Antoine but I think he means that within the confines of the author's intent, he is putting "his own mark" on the aria with the conductor's permission with his breath control, phrasing, loudness, and embellishment. I agree with Antoine, the piece is not a holy grail but is a specific guide to enhance the music and intentions of the composer. i see this with sacred works, it is always sung in a certain way and it gets old.

Su voz es sobrehumana, la extensión es brutal, y en todo el registro mantiene una emision perfecta. En el minuto 5.33 tuve que volver atrás y escuchar de nuevo, no me lo creía, pasa de contralto a barítono. Dioses.

Hi again. Great album. As you obviously have a liking and understanding of the singing voice, what are your thoughts on the Canadian bass-baritone Phillippe Sly? He appears to be equally at home with baroque as well as e.g.later Schubert liede. I find him intriguing and possibly underexposed. Just wondered if you had any thoughts. many thanks. DJ.

The craziest thing about this is its not even really touching the borders of his range somehow. He definitely has at least an A5 in falsetto (though the video was deleted by the time i went to watch so I cant verify personally) and he pretty regularly sings lower than F#2 in full voice, down even to C2, and a reaaaaally quiet B1 during an interview....
