To GermanOperaSinger most countertenors do NOT sing in pure falsetto. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. In response to other comments - Oberlin, if anything, was an haute contra. His voice was quite unique and amazing. On top of that he was also a good musician.

Ah, Russell Oberlin.... I have the very LP somewhere in the basement, but *what with the new technology*, I don't have a turntable anymore. Looking for *An Evening Song*,the only song I want to have played at my funeral..It's supposed to be a solace to my 2 wonderful sons. Can somebody find this anywhere online(youtube?)
I'd be so grateful

Most countertenors sing in a pure falsetto, and to be honest I'd rather just hear a good mezzo sing the same role than a countertenor who resorts to falsetto. But Oberlin sang mostly in his modal voice, as far as I can hear. His voice was just naturally placed very high. Unlike most countertenors, Oberlin keeps the masculinity in his sound while singing in a high tessitura. He sounds like no mezzo, his voice was truly unique. He was one of a kind, one of the great artists of the century.

There has never been a voice or will be a voice like Oberlin's. I have heard him live when he was singing and i can tell you that he was amazing. And he was real, and authentic. All the fakes and pretenders cannot even come close. The tone, the passion and musicality are real and beautiful. Bernstein knew it, and we all knew it. His musicality and taste was so special. What a command of the he had./

I am lucky enough to remember Russell Oberlin from the 60s and I consider him to be the "yardstick" from which all other CTs are measured. His voice is quite unique and seems to be of a lower register than most alto CTs can muster. I had this very LP recording at one time and thought his "Hark th' ecc'ing air" was superb. I doubt we shall ever hear this type of CT again and too bad his career was short.
