I'm not sure that that's so true of the young generation of countertenors, but I know what you mean.Penners said:I confess I've never been a fan of countertenor (castrato) singing. Boy sopranos can have a purity of tone that adult female voices find it hard to emulate. But adult male falsetto always sounds, in my view, uncomfortable, with a strained edge to it.
Penners said:As a lapsed guitar player I find the lutes particularly interesting.
I nurtured a similar wish very briefly, as a teenager. It was after Julian Bream had given a concert in the school hall. But I'm afraid he was rapidly replaced in my affection/loyalty by Elvis Presley!oxalto said:I always wanted to buy a cheap second hand one.
