Amazing! Two of the best countertenors singing together.

Unfortunately, the sound quality of this recording is not very good...

Is this concert available as CD or at least can you download this song as mp3 somewhere???

[martazem3]

@Jairdan this concert is not available on CD

I'll send you this song, just send me your e-mail.

Was this at the Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles in December??? I was there!! But Scholl had a very big cold and a fever from the looks of him... I got autographs from both after the concert!!

[martazem3]

@Guichotpresident Yes, It was there :)

io non ne voglio piu sentir parlare,sia dell'uno che dell'altro,per fortuna in Italia il controtenore non è apprezzato dai piu.credo di essere uno dei circa2000 esagerando,di quelle persone che li conoscono,ci sono voci molto meglio delle loro, purtroppo la fortuna non bacia in fronte tutti i meritevoli!!!

Wonderful; two of my absolute favourites - thanks so much.

@serenaluce You have a higher opinion of Brightman than I do. I think it's a perfect description of PJ. Granted Brightman and Jenkins sing like pretty women, but they're still on a par with PJ in that they are all popera singers, not opera singers.

[serenaluce]

@arpeggio1358 It's a perfect description indeed, but even too good for PJ as Sarah Brightman IMO has more variations and doesn't only sing monotonously on one note like PJ. I think it's a great honour for PJ to be compared with Sarah Brightman or Katherine Jenkins as they at least sing like sexy women, and he pretends that he is "an angel" or a teenage boy. When a supposedly mature man sings without balls and just plays with his fingers and makes touching "innocent" faces it makes him sexless:-)

[serenaluce]

@evansquilt And you are the only person who thinks you can prove it on YT that PJ doesn't have any hidden mike which is ridiculous.All you can express here is only OPINION.You can't attach any MATERIAL proof that you checked PJ and didn't find any hidden mike.All I have is my ears and I hear that PJ has a small untrained falsetto which can't sound as loud as Scholl's voice unless it's artificially amplified which they use in show business.Why Pavarotti sang with pop singers then?Low self-esteem?

[arpeggio1358]

@serenaluce Did you see evansquilt's comment that you think of PJ as the "early music equivalent of Sarah Brightman"? I think it's a perfect description of PJ. Shall we use it in future comments? I certainly intend to.

[evansquilt]

@arpeggio1358 - Interesting, that you and serenaluce seem to be the only people who can tell the difference between a miked and unmiked voice. How interesting that is...

And speaking as someone who actually saw Jaroussky live last summer, well, if he was miked in Niobe, then the entire cast was...which they weren't. I asked one of the BEMF board members.

Of course serenaluce will now accuse me (and the BMEF board member) of lying.....

[evansquilt]

@serenaluce - you really have a low opinion of Scholl, it seems, since your comments indicate that not only is he not good enough to fill a concert hall by himself, he has to associate with the early music equivalent of Sarah Brightman.

Of course it's not true - Scholl fills concert halls very nicely on his own, and Jaroussky can sing on his own. But since you won't listen to people who've actually heard Jaroussky dominate an operatic stage unmiked (like me), oh well.

lovely!

@sandro8628 A me la voce di controtenore piace, anche piú di quella di certi cantanti donna che si dedicano al Barocco. La Prina, la Mijanović e la Bartoli non mi piacciono, ascolto molto piú volentieri Scholl o Cencic. Non capisco perché se un tipo di voce non piace a te gli altri non lo possono apprezzare e non deve diffondersi, che senso ha? A me non piacciono i mezzosoprani leggeri e spesso neppure i soprani leggeri, devo forse chiedere che spariscano in virtú di ciò?

@kosoglazaya1 Da,nu i pust' togda smeyutsya,tol'ko ya vizhu, chto u vas prosto obsession, a eto ser'eznaya mental'naya problema. Prosto druzheskii sovet: primite kholodnyi dush, i skhodite k vrachu, poka ne pozdno. Da eto raskruchennoe nichtozhestvo tol'ko khorosho znaet, kak den'gi delat' i kak "nuzhdnykh lyudei" nakhodit', chtoby ego zapisyvali! On ne ponimaet, o chem vy dumaete. Eto tol'ko plod vashego vospalennogo voobrazheniya! Kak vam:"Talantam nado pomogat',bezdarnosti prob'yutsya sami"?!
