Patrick Husson, Male Soprano. Allegri: Miserere Mei Deus, Complete

[primohomme]

This is absolutely (perdon the pun) divine...

I am a counter tenor also and yes our voice is a natural gift I feel that many guys especially tenors are jealous of the range we get. Especially in a sweet tambre. The have to scream at the top of their voices.

@MrMarcvus I agree with you, also regarding tenors "screaming." I listened to every YT video of the Italian Aria from Rosenkavalier. To my ears, almost all were screaming except Jonas Kaufmann, who is accused of sounding like a baritone, and Pavarotti, who (although perhaps the best I heard) sounded on the edge of screaming. The purity of Husson's voice amazes me.

so humble...

A beautiful rendition of a favorite setting, with the elusive high note hit so well. Combined with Alsace. Such appealing connotations! La route du vin, Colmar, where if I'm not mistaken, Matthias Gruenewald's great painting of the Resurrection resides, Mulhouse, where our French Lutheran pastor serves, etc.

Excuse my ignorance, in this piece there are no musical instruments, right? only voices.

@KanetsidohiKanotoush Yes, it is called a cappella.

The music is calming, very pleasant. Հիասքանչ է:

I just finish a book called "Miserere" from Jean- Christophe Granger, read it... You'll never heard this song in the same way!

[jerallovesyou]

that soprano sounds amazing! ! ! Ive never heard a male soprano have such a beautiful sound

[mradaChris]

This is so gorgeous. At this point in time Patrick is my favorite male soprano. There is something ethereal about his voice, touches one deeply. I wish I had a way to contact him, I'd love to tell him how I so enjoy his voice.

[cabbalistic]

That's a boy soprano right? And not an adult male soprano?

Its amazing regardless. :)

[sfkcbf]

@cabbalistic This is an adult male singing the solo soprano line. I recently heard a British, world-famous choir sing the Miserere in my city. A boy soprano attempted to sing the same line; however, he took THREE to FIVE breaths to do the same thing. I spoke to the boy afterwords. He obviously was not satisfied with his performance; and I, although sympathetic, was not satisfied either.

@cabbalistic

Well usually it requires castration to prevent male sexual development in order to maintain the boy-soprano voice in an "adult" man (although biologically, castrating a boy will prevent him ever reaching adulthood)

I love this version as much as the Tallis Scholar's version I have and experienced live about 2 years ago. Just beautiful. :-)
