A Countertenor Morning

[jazzy_dave]

In the October issue of Wire magazine, 1995, Biba Kopf did an article on countertenors due to a film from France released as a dramatic story on the baroque castrato Farinelli. So here for your delectation from the list of CD recommendations are some modern-day countertenors -

Pergolesi - Salve Regina in C Minor: I. Salve Regina (Michael Chance)

Thomas Campion - The Cypress Curtain of the Night Is Spread

Henry Purcell - Sweeter Than Roses

Johann Nauwach - Jetztund kömpt die Nacht herbey

finally a song from that film about Farinelli

George Frideric Handel - Cara Sposa

ENJOY
