  • You aren't that bright are you? If you were, you would detect the sarcasm in me asking if you were from 1710.

    Anyhow, my point is that even the best of music scholars to this day still can't agree on what is "authentic". For example, straight tone vs. vibrato in the renaissance period.

    There is no correct answer since one will truely never know. One could only presume.

    You should know about presuming dear friend.

    Ciao!

  • Mr. Oberlin has an incredible naturally high male voice and a fabulous coloratura technique. The natural sound of his singing is prescious and probably unique. What a gift to be able to hear him on video! Thank you for the gift of your singing, Sir!

  • wtf!!... Italian lousy!

    

  • vengence is often disguised with a charming smile....

  • Does he know this is a vengenace aria?

  • what a voice!!!

  • How beautifully matched his voice is from top to bottom! He is the benchmark for American countertenors.

  • @Dacookstar wow did you just make that up,and 8 morons believe it.

  • What other recordings are avilable on CD ? The voice is astounding! The best controtenore fro the ages of Senesino.

  • I will never forget the first time I heard his voice on recording. I was listening to his interpretation of "Oh Thou Tellest Good Tidings" from Messiah conducted by Bernstein. A countertenor myself, I was shocked by what I heard. His placement is perfect! I had to check the box to make sure it really was a male singing. My mother thought he was a contralto like herself. We were very taken by surprise! He sounds sooo much different then the modern countertenors of today! BRAVO!!!!

  • dear god, screw david daniels haha. jk, I love david too! Just wish I could sing that high and not sound so unnatural hahaha

  • gut. Erik Kurmangaliev ( d. 2007) was a Svjatoslav Richer favorite , only original male alto in Earth.
