some of you have no idea what you are talking about....the highest note in this song is a F6, not a C5 or an A3...go to music school or take a music theory class before you think you know what you're talking about. Also, hitting a C5 before you reach puberty isn't really that much of a big deal...C5 is the top note for a MATURE tenor, nevermind a prepubescent boy soprano. None the less, I really enjoyed this video.
@slaraffenlandia becouse he had'nt coloratura soprano range (Robin hasnt too). His hight F is by untrained falsetto. Two trils aren't good to but it was a great voice, f a n t a s t i c timbre, from C4 to C6 he was good.
@Hahnimkorb100 Ooooooooo!!!!!! I thought he is vocally "died", incredibile, fantastic, thanks!!! He was great as Oberto, perfect. His Queen of the night is very good too but as Oberto he is more apropriate, becouse it is boy aria (Haendel used for it a 15 years old boy!!!!!) and any woman or girl can compare to his interpretation. "Barbara" from Alcina by Alois- great, great performance, perfect. Clint is fantastic singing BWV51- probably the most difficoult piece wroten for the boy. Thanks!!
fantastic! great pronounciation! you can actually tell what words are coming out of his mouth unlike most opera pieces because his pronounciation is so clear!
The nice thing, compared to some othe treble recordings of this aria, is that he does not take it too fast. His technique and voice get shown properly this way. The only problem I have with the Robin Schlotz recording is that it is too fast and that's why I prefer Jacques Imbrailo over him.
I think you are all missing the point that his is NO ORDINARY Chorister but one of the Greatestest Boy Sopranos of our time or at least in the history of recording (hi fi) as we are hearing a recordings from about 20 years ago You cant compare him to anybody using the same criteria you do for the "ordinary". even at 14 accomplishing the unique crystal Clear HIGH F naturaltally Motzart wrote this in and Im sure, to his personal preference, of not having to sacrifing his Testicles to do so :)
@mistatomsom I distinctly remember using a different register as a child to hit the notes at the top of my range. I'm now studying music education, and know the difference between the feeling of singing in head voice and singing in falsetto. Pls tell me what register i was singing in as a child that felt exactly like my falsetto does now, if it is impossible for children to have falsetto. The falsetto is the register produced by isolating the high part of the chords, so why can't kids do that?
okay.. well having to sing that song was bad enough, but why did they make him dress up in that getup, dammm...at least let him hold on to some kind of dignity.
@JoseCarlosCristiano I know exactely what I'm talking about, That song was meant to be sung by a women!!! and that get up doesn't look good, would you wear that??
that's what i meant yeah. i'm dying to hear a castrato voice. I know it's not ethical and moral and abominable, but i still wanna hear a full castrato voice... wouldn't that be great?
@mistatomsom as matter of fact there are some ancient recordings of the "Last Castrati" Alessandro Moreschi which were made later in his life after he had passed his prime. They are public domain and are free to download from archive.org and other sites including youtube. The recordings are very old and are of questionable quality. Plus his singing style is somewhat different from what we are accustomed to hearing today. but it is interesting to hear what he sounded like.
Dear Patrick, I have the CD at home. The recording is really bad and he was extremely nervous prior to this recording. Also the time of big operatic castratos was gone about 100 years before. Moreschi was a chorister, but one can still hear the magnificence of the voice. We can only imagine how Farinelli sounded.
I saw this boy singing around this age! I was in the Des Moines Childrens chior, we had a festival and the Drakensberg Boys Choir came and this boy had a performance of this piece!!! Incredible, can't believe I stumbled on this video...beautiful singing
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dont get me wong its just I cant stop me, I know , its a boy , and I like opera, but every time I see a boy with that tone... FAG! sry i didnt mean it XD
Well, he certainly did not ruin his voice! I just heard him today, now 13 years later at the ROH singing Dr Malatesta in Don Pasquale. He was superb, the best of the cast.
Well RyanD, he certainly did not ruin his voice! I just heard him today, now 13 years later at the ROH singing Dr Malatesta in Don Pasquale. He was superb, the best of the cast.
@RyanD1862 Frankly I don't believe the boy is singing falsetto. I was a chorister for many years, and my voice didn't break until I was fourteen (and that was just when it started). I was still singing high soprano roles for awhile until it finished changing completely. The myth of singing falsetto ruining one's voice is completely false. If done properly, with the correct teacher, a singer cand extend their range, learn to have a better control of their lungs, without yodeling too.
@youhavegottabejoking I agree with you. There is nothing wrong with singing falsetto or male head voice unless done improperly which goes for any singing. And like you said, the boy is not even singing in falsetto. That's his lyric upper real-voice. So what are you now: a baritone, tenor, 1st tenor?
@okebaram My voice has a wide range. The natural limits are in the bari-tenor range, but because of the training, I have actually sang alto (contralto) solos in a falsetto voice.
@youhavegottabejoking I'll agree with that, and actually I think singing in chest voice can do more damage... the amount of singers being told to "belt it out" in chest voice these days are probably spoiling their voice in the long run.
@youhavegottabejoking yes me to , I was sing very beautifly even at 15 and start to break at 16 I was able to sing any range, since I sing from childhood but now at 18 I rarly sing because of the desspiration that I have since loosing my flexible voice , I'll do anything to get it back:(
Well, he certainly did not ruin his voice! I just heard him today, now 13 years later at the ROH singing Dr Malatesta in Don Pasquale. He was superb, the best of the cast.
God, he tosses this off like he's singing a pop song...easy peasy... It's really astonishing how effortless it seems. Pretty damn brilliant. I hope his voice is as brilliant, whereever his range falls, after puberty hits.
Good intonation and high register (though the high F is sometimes a bit low); non as well good coloratura, but I'm sure studying he'll be a good countertenor.
I love the sound of his voice and the great control he has over his voice, my only issue is with the tempo, it was too fast and it didn't give time to sort of "linger" on the higher notes and really show off his voice up there.
this is exactly how I pictured it should sounds! there is just something in a woman soprano's voice that is not satisfying on those hight notes, and I love the easy grace he has when he hit the notes!
Done very well. If this was in 1993, his voice may well have changed. I saw some more recent stuff by Robin Schlotz and he still can sing well, but not as high, of course.
I was lucky enough to be taught by Christian Ashley Botha, and was in the same class as Jacques. His coloratura is one of the most amazing I have ever heard in a boy. I was unlucky however. By the time this was recorded my voice was mezzo soprano, I could never reach those notes. If I had that voice, I would have become a castrato without a second thought.
Amazing - it must takes years of practice to be able to do that. Go the boys! Also check out 9 year old Alex Chorley singing Walking in the Air. Not so operatic but he really can sing and is very charismatic.
for all those who have a problem with boys singing high, you guys are pretty dimwitted. he's a kid therefore his voice hasn't matured yet. jeez. now if this was a grown man, or a castrato, maybe i would be more light-hearted but come on....
I hate to say this but I don't and will never agree with letting anyone under twenty sing this aria, regardless of whether it is a male or female. Singing this type of repertoire at such a young age instills bad habits that are hard to break. I'm 24 and a countertenor and though I have a high C I don't live my musical life above the staff, I leave that for the women. No man will ever play the queen of the night unless they are in drag so asking a little boy do it downright preposterous

Amazing - it must takes years of practice to be able to do that. Go the boys! Also check out 9 year old Alex Chorley singing Walking in the Air. Not so operatic but he really can sing and is very charismatic.

Its a wonder it didn't throw the countertenor off. This guy is either having a bad day or not a good accompanist.

for all those who have a problem with boys singing high, you guys are pretty dimwitted. he's a kid therefore his voice hasn't matured yet. jeez. now if this was a grown man, or a castrato, maybe i would be more light-hearted but come on....

@kishchou44 there are no more castrati opera singers nowadays,

This guy is now the most amazing baritone. I saw him at the RAH in London just recently singing the title part in Mendelssohn's Elijah. Impeccable!

that's usually how it works. the highest boy sopranos become basses and baritones

I hate to say this but I don't and will never agree with letting anyone under twenty sing this aria, regardless of whether it is a male or female. Singing this type of repertoire at such a young age instills bad habits that are hard to break. I'm 24 and a countertenor and though I have a high C I don't live my musical life above the staff, I leave that for the women. No man will ever play the queen of the night unless they are in drag so asking a little boy do it downright preposterous
