The words themselves differ considerably from Schubert's 'Lindenbaum,' but the sentiment I guess could be considered to be similar....
-
I agree that the tessitura here is a bit low for Mr. Bostridge, who has a thrillingly pure upper register.
-
@Taenyr Male altos/countertenors tend to keep it in F major, although there are many who believe it's more historically accurate to transpose the key down a half-step, since concert tuning came a few centuries after this musical era :)

@amatorynumber Not sure I love you (well, maybe a little), but I certainly respect and admire you! Also a faggot, and also very proud, and moreover I'm a countertenor who sings this recit. and aria an octave higher than the splendid Mr. Bostridge. It's an beautiful, simple, glorious work!
-
@Spanglefeather Those lyrics are pretty different in meaning than these I think.
-
Bostridge sings similar words in Schubert's "Lindenbaum"
-
Steady, fluent, and elegant.
-
@amatorynumber Actually, you meant E4. Also, F major is the original key...what you say is true, though: generally sopranos are the only singers who don't transpose it up or down.

@BelfNelfLuv By the way, calling someone 'faggot' on a private message and boasting about your amazing musical knowledge does nothing to improve one's view on either your musical knowledge or plainly your humanity. You started calling me a retard, which I am not, and ended calling me a faggot, which I am, and a very proud one, mister expert. We won't hold any further discussion so don't bother. Please.
