Pallido il sole - by male Haute-Contre (not falsetto)

Farinelli Scores.

This is me... (Arturo Pedraza, the mexican haute-contre & sopranist), singing an alto aria: "Pallido il Sole" from the opera "Artaserse" by Johann Adolph Hasse, aria of Artabano.

I'm singing this in my full range voice, I'm not singing with falsetto.

Looking on Wikipedia I've found this:

"The altino, essentially a male contralto,
is a rare male voice type,
commonly considered the "true" countertenor.
This person can sing high without falsetto
that the usual male passagio.
Typically, this rare voice has problems reaching
depths of even low C (I have those problems :p) unlike most men,
and usually has an androgynous tone, even when speaking.
The typical altino will speak normally between the range
of F# and B below Middle C, (I speak in that range, haha! in "A"), more in keeping
a female than a typical male,
whose speaking voice settles closer to low C.

An even rarer full voice can sing tenor and
female contralto (or even mezzo-soprano) parts with equal ease."

Bravo, BRAVISIMO!

Es cierto lo que dice la wiki, que puedes hablar en F# o B ?

[lalungenuictdestens]

[hngltn]

tempo is too slow

[lalungenuictdestens]

Tempo is just what I wanted... in music there are no "correct" tempos, but the tempo chosen by the performers. Greets! ;)

what's your range from chest to superhead? I have E2-E5

[lalungenuictdestens]

My range from chest to superhead? ... well... I don't know what are you asking but my lowest note is F (the first space of the G clef)... and the highest is G# (4th upper additional line of the same G clef).

This guy should start doing french baroque...it would be such a waste of such a stylistically suitable voice!

[joelflorew]

por que dice que es haute contre? a mi me parece un contratenor

[villeluv1]

What would i be if I can sing this octave, and an octave higher than this as well ?

Très très beau! Une belle version très crédible à tout les niveaux! Déjà la voix est un vrais ténor- altino ! Bravo et merci AV

@lalungenuictdestens si wikipedia!

[pieldepiedra]

Its beautiful to hear the voice completely natural there. Fantastic!

A mi me gusta mas que Andreas Scholl, Andreas suena mas a falsete y Artura suena mucho más natural. Estupendo!!!
