Roma Travestita by Bruno de Sá – 18th-century arias for male soprano

"It’s an amazing opportunity for me as a singer and artist to take on these roles and discover the characteristics of each composer. It will be interesting for audiences to recognize the differences between the male and female roles sung by the castrati, and the way in which the composers wrote from a different perspective in the portrayal of emotions … My goal is to sing what my voice allows me to sing – it doesn’t matter which boxes it ticks or which gender it is." – Bruno de Sá

There's something about the male soprano that's haunting and ethereal in a way female sopranos can't quite match. And of course it's very rare to get someone who can naturally do it since we don't "manufacture" them any more.

I wish I could sound like a pure angel. I didn't not expect his talking voice to sound like that.

[wjlim]

His voice tho, it’s sounds so pretty that I can listen to it all day.

No sé y nunca sabremos cómo cantan y si cantan los ángeles, pero está voz es hermosísima, la interpretación está muy cuidada y nos transporta a un nivel emocional muy intenso. Gracias

Uau, jamais imaginaria ver um homem com esse registro vocal. Muito interessante. Agora posso imaginar como soavam os castratti, dos quais só tinha ouvido falar nas aulas de música no colégio.

[andrewbloom]

Imagine, this dude gets the castrato voice type, possibly the most beautiful sounding voice type of all, and he didn't even need to do the castratey part lol!

Seriously though, this is *exactly* what they sounded like, there are recordings of the last one. And it is truly amazing, like the best of both genders voices. The power and richness of a males with the agility and lyrical quality of a female one. Its just so different from any of the existing common ones, even a countertenor/falsettist. Its hard to even describe.

[bwhvb-vpr]

The best male soprano voice I've ever heard so far. The other male sopranos I've heard are not quite good as him, and one of them sounds too much like a countertenor. For an angelic male voice, I like PJ but he's a countertenor whose voice is not as natural as a male soprano's.

[jacobcarpenter]

Bruno de Sa is my favourite countertenor in recent memory. He possesses a sweet sound like his predecessors, Doctor Randall Wong and Vince Yi. I thoroughly enjoyed Mister de Sa's debut album.

Hi! How are you?

Fortunately, Korea did not suffer much damage from the typhoon. It's already Wednesday this week.

I hope you have a healthy and pleasant day for the rest of the week.

Thank you. **

[Cobracobalt]
