Aris Christofellis, Sopranist. Gluck: Air de Sesto, Complete

[singingtruth76]

No doubt this is one of the best and most original renditions of this extremely challenging aria. To me the only version that gives us at least a suggestion of what it might have sounded when premiered.

@singingtruth76 Like many others, I find the unsual timbre and enunciation difficulties resulting from sopranist efforts rather less than optimal; however, Aris is one of the very few people who has sung with a degree of real success. He has recorded soprano arias for our enjoyment and education that other singers can not attempt and, therefore, has given us additional glimpses into the world of the castrati.
