While it is a fantastic peice of music, I'm really glad they didn't choose to take the Broadway musical this way.

Why would you say 'falsettists?' They are two tenors, not countertenors. I think the whole point here, if you know the play, is that these boys are 14 years old-there are other baritone roles-perhaps the composer preferred having two higher voices to emphasize their youthfulness in contrast with the maturity of the words they are singing.

@junkheadinfection: Well, than your opinion exposes you as kind of simple and ignorant.. ;D
-
@Trampadoo well...it's my opinion. :D
-
@junkheadinfection : Haha, what? How can you even compare two completely different genres? *bangs head against wall* Musically this is a couple of levels above the musical version, everything else is just a matter of taste.

is this on stage? if so cool love this a lot
-
gah. the musical is a million times better!

@operastud82 It's a tenor thing. Basses never seem to understand how the tenor voice works;-)

@craigwalters Use of "head voice" does not mean "falsetto." Vocal color creates an effect, and particularly in this case, a youthful one. People throw this term "falsetto" around so loosely no one seem to know what it actually means anymore.
-
@operastud82 I suppose he says 'falsettist' because they are singing so lightly. I also think it sounds like falsetto in some places.

Aw, hanschen and ernst...i wish I knew what they were saying, tho. They have awesome voices, though.

Basically they say "you are so handsome I would like to have a walk with you" and some poetic crap too, the things you say when you encounter your first love experience. Those were the times!
