I wanna give some information about castrato voice for who watched this video and interested to castratos.

If you listen carefully you'll see the high notes that you feel like the 12 years old boy is singing.
This is the most important speciality of castrato voice.
But today, somebodies purports that they are castrato...
I think they don't know what are they talking about? The biological meaning is Castrato or castrati = Castrated (eunuched before puberty) singer of XVI & XVII Century. Real Castratos stayed in the XVI & XVII Century.

Farinelli movie was a good film but it showed castrato voice as a female voice then some people is conjecturing that the castrato voice is the similar of female voices.
But not. Remember the last record of Alessandro Moreschi (The Last Castrato)

Ok lets imagine the castrato voice. All castrato singers castrated in their childhood.
Ageing of their treble voices stopped when they was a child. Then if we think this by the logical way we can find this result = Castrato voice is the similar of child voice.
Otherwise one castrato might have a larger voice register. Because while his bodys ageing, his treble voices stays fixed and his voice chords was widening to bass voices. Example from the history; Known is Farinelli had three and a half octave range. They also have the adult voice.

If we have to define the castrato voice:

1 Treble notes is similar of a child voice
2 They have also adult voice

At today known; natural castrato voice is the similar of castrato voice. You can discriminate natural castrato voice from other voices by its different color, listening treble voices. If you heard an 12 yo child voice when he is on treble notes. Yes, it can be possible that male singer is a natural castrato.

Thats all I say :)
Thanks for your interest.

  • La voz de un Castrato... una maravilla... pero, una suerte q ya haya caído en desuso. Triste, imperdonable, hacerle esto a un niño, en una edad en q no puede decidir ni resistir.

  • Is this an old recording??

  • Hope you people understand the voice in this video isn't a traditional castrato as the castrati of the Italian/Opera era all died before 1922, and only recordings of one not so great castrato exists

  • I hate the sound of children's singing voices. No wonder I can't stand these castrato singers lol!

  • EXCUSE ME, BUT IN THE CHURCH YOU COULDN'T BECOME A PRIEST IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR MALE ATTRIBUTES. ALLTHIS IS A DEGENERATION IN THE SAME LINE THAT MADE BOYS PLAY THE WOMEN'S ROLES IN ELIZABETHAN THEATRE. JUST THAT WOMEN SHOULDN'T ACT IN PUBLIC AS IT WAS CONSIDERED INDECENT. NUNS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SING IN CHURCH AT PUBLIC MASSES, FOR EXAMPLE. CASTRATING CHILDREN WAS A COMMON PRACTICE IN MANY COUNTRIES, TO PREVENT DANGERS FROM SERVANTS FOR FAMILY WOMEN'S VIRTUE. REPRESSION ...IS LIKE THIS

  • Farinelli has been one really handsome man :-(

  • great upload  and inspiring vid. thank you for a wonderful dreamy break from my ordinary reality.

  • @PureZOOKS Yeah, they were castrated before puberty. Fun, fun.

  • 1700's best remembered as Castration Century

  • @Mangasakka Yeah.

  • @restlesspride666: Ah, there I have an advantage,I'm an artist. I can see beauty in women & men, children, animals, rocks & trees. You should try & get the difference between "beautiful" & "sexually attractive". Those 2 are far from synonymous... Often, men are reluctant to admit they're able to see the beauty in an other man, for fear of being taken for a gay. And gay men on the other hand, are sometimes the same way about girls. But that's not beauty, that's sex-appeal. See what I mean?
