there really is no more beautiful voice than a male soprano.. but castration to achieve it?

a young boy who still retains his soprano voice is an awesome treat.

I thought this would be a joke... 'A castrato, eunuchs, and Farinelli walk into a bar..'

You take it from there. It's in there somewhere. I just haven't had enough coffee yet.

That audio clip of Moreschi is bizarre. No balls and he sings like this broad, though his pitch is truer. (How could it not be.) Then there's this guy, who never went through puberty. He didn't need the Vatican to cut his off; they just never grew beyond the size of aspirins.

This could lead one to hate music. Or at least fear it.

Here's a good tenor..




He's only 14. Imagine what he'll do when he's grown up.
