Oldest song ever by Alessandro Moreschi

[TheSlapFight]

This is no where near the oldest song on Earth.

[greasedslip]

It's 2012 and I am still able to enjoy listening to this timeless composition

[normi550]

this is ART!!!



[lexa8412]

Im glad someone has a copy of this...:)

[AdrianEVH96]

Thumbs up if you wanna hear Lars Ulrich come out with an amazing drum solo at 3:10

[AIRFLYPARKOUR3]

A esto se le llamaría una original voz castratis alegando a la voz de un niño o femenina y diferenciado en aguda o grave perteneciente al soprando. Tengo un examen sobre esto y me voi preparando xD!

[Epc100]

He made others in 1902. This is in fact one of his last.

[lucas07700]

Chuck Norris alredy played 10 instruments, wrote 500 songs and had a contract with Sony at the time this was recorded

[SuperOpal123]

@lucas07700 eat my shit

[DowSou]

[sheru7mera7naam007]

@strongboyfahad52 Lolllll!

[klinkerkk]

CREEPY

[PowerNdust]

uhhhmmm..... okay, im TERRIFIED.

[alydaly]

that's impossible because i listened a recorded Egyptian song was recorded in 1895

[sandraviloria1712]

Back in the days they had to cut the mans gonads for them to keep the high pitch boy voices

[Teduis489]

how is this the oldest song ever when it was recorded in the early twentieth century? :/ someone needs to go over their music history.. or maybe you just don't know how to count? :/

[haleygoeswhoohoo]

@Teduis489 I'm pretty sure he means oldest song that was BY him.

[Skulldetta]

@Teduis489 Just me, but I think he means "oldest song ever recorded"

[mammacita14yaya]

he sounds like a chick

[MooonWilloW]

IM SCARED TOO

[bastospriss]

Don't say that... It's sad...

[linkandzelda6661]

he sings like a boss

[AphroditeEros33]

thank you so much for this upload...it's cruel and i feel aweful...

[RowanIvy]

he has no technique... not like tha castratos in the 17th and 18th century. but in the high notes you here a real man (castrato) sopran voice.

[NESHero]

this is not the oldest song ever....

[Xjreme18]

@NESHero

No, but by Alessandro Moreschi.

[NESHero]

@Xjreme18 i think there is a earlier recording from 1902. but i maybe wrong.

[Xjreme18]

@NESHero

No, this video meant the oldest song "composed" by Alessandro Moreschi. He did other songs but this is the oldest one..

[tissetatten]

@Xjreme18 he didnt compose this

[Xjreme18]

@tissetatten

Well, I meant this is his oldest recorded song.

[Psycho176]

this is REALLY creepy and i nerded all over the floor

[cris001kay]

sorry, the voice is awful and he looks like a lesbian

[alamc200]

AAAH Ohh! This hurts my ears!

[ArwenPendragon]

It sounds unearthly.

[JasonMann8]

whoever makes a dubstep of this is awsome

[HumanAlein100000]

Yankee doodle is older than that.

[MrEriesal]

The voice appears to be a soprano

[tropicalwater456]

cool!!!

[geobabe73]

I guess I assumed that castrati would all have a brighter sound than what I'm hearing on this recording. The vocal is interesting, but the techniques are sometimes a bit sloppy. Thanks for posting.

[varsatu]

this is scary man:(((((

[DjKyN007]

Compare with Saxobeat!

[rick520s]

this is very sad... but beautiful

[NESHero]

this is not the oldest song ever and it's not the oldest recorded song ever.

[tcb20744]

this is white supremacy

[Andrea10143]

Exactly when my Great Grandfather was born.

[JoshHartNow]

Thumbs up if you are watching this in 2011 :)

[belieberofbieber12]

@JoshHartNow 2012;)

[M1Garandstudios]

@JoshHartNow 2012 bitch

[makenna88]

But part of the 'howl' effect people are complaining about is just how different this old-school opera music is. He's singing with a lot of emotion, like he's acting.

[makenna88]

That is such a strange sound. Damn, that man can get high 2:30 I wish I could have heard him before his voice got old and creaky.

[coolspyro17]

Good God :O

[Okruchowa]

@marie55661001 why?

[aiayumi]

some boy should just accidentally "fall off the horse"....

[xvintagexbiatchx]

diss myy jaaamm !

[montiebagel]

@xvintagexbiatchx lol u funny

[danMdan]

A last remnant of a vanished age - truly a great ethereal sound, impossible to achieve any other way.

[nandihno]

have anyone heard ppl talk on a phone..then thats what it sounds...the recording doesnt give justice...

[guitarman6464]

male sopranos haven't gone out of style...look at justin bieber, for instance

[51m0n77]

@guitarman6464 fuck off

[Okruchowa]

@guitarman6464 if you want him to sing like this forever, you should make him castrato immidiately.

[laurentziu97]

ascultam asta acum cativa ani

[TheThsmdx]

i pissed my pants

[JoshskaterXD]

[MelanieLouM]

@JoshskaterXD Uh, thats a dude without his...uh...."family jewels".... O_o

[JoshskaterXD]

@MelanieLouM thats sad but he sounds like a girl n yes he sounds creapy

[MelanieLouM]

@JoshskaterXD Any guy would sound like that if he lost his nads as a young boy! :(

[JoshskaterXD]

[SickNStarz]

[ADAM19439]

[cesarasecas1]

Todo un personaje, este Moreschi, sin duda. Luego ya lo de su técnica... eso ya es otra cosa. Peores cosas se vieron en Crónicas Marcianas. xD

[liomessiFCB10]

that is definetly no the oldest song ever!

[IEATBIEBERNOW]

This song needs Dolby Surround

[swirlywirly78]

Think he was a castrato, wasn't he? (Sounds like it anyhow!)

Lovely song xx

[xxxxSylphxxxx]

@swirlywirly78

yeah, he was a castrato (the only one who had a solo recording saved)

...and I wasn't searching for oldest song ever, I was searching for alessandro moreschi. :)

[sk8er12350]

it is freaky but somehow beautiful

[GrApHikStERxLOwKs]

[Juliet0307]

The best Ave Maria of all times.Professore Moreschi is a genious!

[dmenkhau]

The voice is really straining

[2TWISTEDBALLS]

Rock on

[MouzikalSkeytar]

i say the older song is *rock hit* *rock hit* *rock hit* OOGA!

[fluence51]

It's neither the oldest song ever nor the oldest recording ever. The oldest song ever known was composed circa 1400BC; the oldest recording known (and available) is a fragment of ''Claire de la Lune'' from 1860. Still, I cannot tell which the oldest recorded song is, but here on YouTube, I've found from 1898 and earlier.

[samerlaswi]

WTF !?!??! 

[sainaveenbali]

which language ?

[peacemaker083]

All these old recordings are special and are a real treasure. But this is not the oldest song recorded. Au Clair de la Lune, sung by Édouard-Léon Scott. The recording was believed to be a woman, but it had been sped up. Through further restoration it is now shown to be him. You can hear this and other sounds at firstsounds with org at the end and not com

[bofohandsome]

perfect

[Juliet0307]

Che voce hai!Che immenso talento!

E come sei bello!

[daliasoad]

[othman99]

[RandomWithWolfeyt]

@othman99 The one from the 60's.... excuse me 1860's is the oldest, and it is a song!
