Anyway this was writen for a soprano,there are plenty of arias for male altos including duets in Purcell's repertoire.
Im a Countertenor and a gay guy also...i sing a lot of Purcell,I worship Alfred Deller as a pioneer of the countertenor voice but Im not sure if this was a right choice sing.
Is like when some countertenors sing Dido's lament or worst when some countertenors try to sing Carmen
One of the great male alto singing voice I have ever heard. From the beginning to the end I sat motionless listening to such a high quality tone in this voice weather it be a low or high note. BRILLIANT !
hahahhaha the original, purcell's version says HE's gone HE's gone HIS loss deplore and i shall never see HIM more hahhahahha he should have sung the original one hahahhahahha , i would hahhahhhahahhaaa
It wasn't, indeed. You are completely right at that Point. I do regard this small Discussion as absolutely peaceful and polite. (Which is, unfortunatle, rare on Youtube :( ) Just to be sure I'm not mistaken, allow me to state, that I do not judge any Person by his/her sexual Orientation. In my first Post, I was just humbly offering an Explanation for the Text sung differing from the written one, in Response to your, what I assumed to be, Amusement about this Detail. Have a brilliant Evening, L.

Why does he shout when he comes to "weep"? Doesn't make sense, as many other things in his interpretation. Don't like it. =/

i love how the emotion is portrayed in the lower key, seems much more mournful

He sings it a fifth lower, and in baroque tuning (even lower).
Aren't there enough alto arias he could sing? This is a soprano aria. It loses much of its effect when lowered.

This is the best performance of the Plaint air I ever heard, even Kirkby is not that great! Thank you.

The Text is designed to be sung by a Woman, now, when a Man sings, it would be more strange to hear him mourn fpor his beloved male love

why??????
i don't se anything strange in a man mourning his male lover....perfectly normal for me.

It is Indeed, nowadays. But in Purcells Time, however, Homosexuality was illegal and very rigidly punished.

even though this discussion is pointless, i'll make another comment...
this version wasn't recorded in Purcell's time, it might be that Mr deller wasn't homosexual.... i guess that was all....
peace and love
peace and love for everybody
