Have sung the castrato?

How did castrati probably really toned? This question must be beeantworten difficult. In the film Farinelli the voices were distorted and mixed electronically, the Counter Tenore try a Hörbild mediate and Cecilia Bartoli sings arias such unsophisticated with her mezzo voice.
Vivian Genaux is a mezzo-soprano, transparent, easier, more transparent than the voice of Bartoli. Technical difficulties she seems to know no as demonstrated live at a concert with the presented on this CD arias in Zurich in 2001. The applause was huge, now the program is available on CD.
The impression of the concert confirmed, it effortlessly handles the partially acrobatic arias. The accompaniment of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin under René Jacobs is excellent, always in service of the cause, never pasty or dominant, simple, transparent and always present.
A special praise to the presentation of the CD. The enclosed booklet is informative and provides intelligence provided about this special kind of music.
