- from Farinelli Original SoundTrack


The 1994 film 'Farinelli' catapulted the
countertenor voice into the limelight. Nearly 20
years later, one thing is clear: countertenors are
sought after by opera houses, record companies
and agents more than ever. The English singer
James Bowman was one of the pioneers of the
countertenor repertoire: his ability to create a
luscious sound with a fluid legato is ably
demonstrated in his legendary recording of the
aria from Gluck?s Orfeo ed Euridice, 'Che faro
senza Euridice?, and in 'Va tacito e nascosto?
from Handel?s Giulio Cesare.

In the French countertenor firmament Dominique
Visse stands out for his musicianship. His voice
takes on a biting, slightly stinging quality in
the aria from Vivaldi?s 'Montezuma'. Gérard Lesne
founded Il Seminario Musicale in 1985.

Today Lesne?s expanded musical horizons include
both jazz and pop recordings. The American Derek
Lee Ragin, took off with his recording of the
'Farinelli' soundtrack. The film?s director,
Gérard Corbiau, had the bold idea of mixing
Ragin?s countertenor voice with that of soprano
Ewa Mallas-Godlewska, thereby creating the unique
timbre of a castrato.

Andreas Scholl's excerpts from two Bach cantatas
showcase his fascinating timbre as well as his
sense of rhetoric and phrasing.

A brilliant new generation of counter-tenors
continues to carry the torch. Foremost among them
is Philippe Jaroussky; his instantly recognisable
voice is of an audacious purity. Iestyn Davies,
born in 1979, is a great admirer of James Bowman.

His voice combines expressive flexibility and
technical agility, and these qualities stand out
in his recording of an aria from Vivaldi?s
'Griselda'. The rising Korean star David DQ Lee
displays robust vocal foundations and masterful
breathing technique.

If further proof of the countertenors?
achievements were needed, it can be found in the
fact that major opera houses now slate works with
entirely male casts, bringing together up to nine
countertenors! What was once just a fashion has
become the cutting edge.
