Countertenor D. Kai Ma Sings "Greensleeves" - Anonymous, from "The Beggar's Opera", selected by John Gay (1685-1732). With accompaniment of Guitarist Meng-Feng Su. Recorded at Recital Hall of Tainan University, Taiwan, August 2007.
when the begger's opera 1st played at covant garden in 1700??? it was written using traditional songs (bit like using the abba songs for 'mamma mia')by john gay & produced by john? rich. 'gay' meant only 'happy' then. so rich made gay rich and gay made rich gay. it is the basis for the 3 groscen oper.
Great Voice!
I saw The Beggars Opera at a US college some years ago.
A sign at the entrance said
"John Gay upstairs,Gay John downstairs"! LOL

he's a countertenor, it's not falsetto...it's weird to describe, but his vocal chords developed differently, so he has a very high pitched center...

Heh-thought he'd sing it deep-but excellent (and eerily feminine) falsetto..
