Legendary composers of the Baroque era like Purcell and Handel — as well as creators closer to our own day like Benjamin Britten, George Benjamin and Unsuk Chin — have called upon his unique and extraordinary qualities… We're talking, of course, about the countertenor, the highest male vocal range (following the end of the cruel era of the castrato), which has dazzled listeners for centuries with its ethereal lightness and muscular clarity.
In this playlist, experience the magical voices of some of our day's greatest countertenors: Philippe Jaroussky, Bejun Mehta, Jakub Józef Orliński, and many more, in repertoire from across every era.
