Do you own a recording of the aria 'Non ti fidar' from this Handel opera?
-
good! thanks for this, really a beauty voice. In original terms countertenor is not necessary a man who use falsetto, is only a man that sing in an alto range, with full voice, with falsetto or mixed voice. In my opinion is correct that the people named countertenor to refeer at Rusell Oberlin, Alfred Deller, etc.
Thanks

Voices are like eyes and noses.
They are all different and it is pointless to make comparrisons other than you like this one or that one.
This particular voice is something extroardinary for me. Very rich and profound.

The countertenor sound produced by Scholl & Jaroussky is produced through an artificial technique. The vocal cords vibrate in a shorter than usual length. There was an excellent documentary a few years ago with clear stroboscopic images that showed, in countertenor singing, the extreme membranous edges of the vocal cords are the only parts in vibration. In normal singing, the cords vibrate completely, as in the case of Russell Oberlin.

A beautiful aria and a most unusual voice. Thank you for posting. Your use of the term "countertenor" may confuse people, however. If used in the original sense of contre-tenor, he would be included. Most people today, however, think of the term relating to "falsetto" voice. Oberlin is a natural, full-voiced alto.

Oh...umm I don't quite understand what you mean here, but you seem to know a lot about "countertenors", so would you please explain a little more to me? Because I thought "falsetto" was something completely different from countertenor, since "countertenor" is something natural...

The important part of early church singing was the Word of God, usually sung by a tenor. Later a second voice was added for harmony (contre-tenor) which could be male alto, boy, or someone using the front of his voice in a more constricted manner to extend his range higher. Many people now think of countertenor in terms of the last explanation & refer to it as falsetto. Oberlin did not sing in that manner: he used his full, natural voice, just as male soprano Radu Marian uses his natural voice.

How would you classify people like Andreas Scholl or Philippe Jaroussky then? Don't they sing with their natural voices and not falsetto?
