Radu Marian, Male Soprano. Bononcini, Vorrei Pupille Belle con Violini, Andante (video version 1)

Antonio Maria Bononcini, Vorrei pupille belle con Violini (aria: Andante), Radu Marian, male soprano.

Vorrie pupille belle con violini, aria, Andante.

Oh Dio, se fosse vero
ch'ove giunge il pensiero
giungesse il guardo ancor!

Agl'occhi mieie terréi
ogn'or Filli presente
come la tien la mente
come la tiene il cor.
[ da capo ]

Oh God, were it true
That there, where comes thought,
Also came the gaze!

Fille would be ever
present before my eyes,
As she is in my thoughts,
As she is in my heart.
[ back to the beginning ]

As requested by viewers, I have added the lyrics + the English translation to the description. There also is a newer-image version which I uploaded later.

Normally, when I listen to a countertenor, I realise that he is a man, and I feel that I am listening to some kind of unisex voice. I wouldn't have noticed that he was a man if I hadn't known. He sings in a very pure way, almost heavenly

[sfkcbf]

Of course, you realize that Radu Marian is not a countertenor. Yes, Radu's natural soprano voice is very pure. The focused purity of the Baroque castrato voice is one of many reasons that both opera and church preferred castrato singers.

[raftrompette]

Is there any chance you'd have a piece of Radu singing french baroque music?

[sfkcbf]

I have no recordings of Radu singing French Baroque music. Most vocal works of the style uploaded here were Italian. Historically, France was somewhat of a musical anomaly when it came to the castrato voice; therefore, a larger portion of their music was written for other voices.

This is the voice of an angel on a ceiling painted by Tiepolo.

immaculate and pure.

[MarcoChuck100]

Could you write me the text also of this music?

[Yeiv16]

I mean sang not sung sorry

[Yeiv16]

I had never thought about it. Very interesting, but does it mean that he is singing naturally, I mean, without falsetti? Do you think that, if he sung as a tenor, he would sing well? I don't know much about this, but I'm interested. Thx
