My heart bleeds and yet feels absolutely content. Thats Philippe's Alto Giove..... no Alto Giove should be sang by a woman from now on, If there would be one to attempt, One should put a hell of a performance to pull it out. In my opinion...

@LeaBruggen I'm well aware of how a countertenor sings. I've heard Daniels, Asawa, Taylor live among many others. None ever used a mic! Countertenors can be heard just fine in a large, modern hall WITHOUT a mic.,

This is one of the pieces that I wish could just go on and on!

Unfortunately the RAH is notorious for its accoustics. The architectural design results in the sound just dissapearing, which is why they had to hang those giant discs from the ceiling. Never mind, it is still a wonderful place to see the good and the great.

@striderivan I've NEVER heard him without a mic. He always uses one.

@arpeggio1358...... Recorder clavichord (instruments used by Telemann and Bach) Neither can be heard in a hall, some times the got amplified as well, and nobody criticized the quality of playing of the performers; .... hope i clear a bit your questions, and disagrement about ...

@arpeggio1358

Early music was supposed for different halls where sound and resonance was pretty big, something that we dont have in any modern hall, amplification for early music is fine, opera voice's quality is far away of he early music sound in voice, his quality of voice (P.J) is fantastich, the doub about how big is his voice is normal, there is not a natural countretenors, he is singing in "falsetto" register wich by the way can not be big to be hear in the back of a big modern hall.
