[musictlk] A random music question

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
The falsetto actually is the best part of the song.
Counter tenors are some of the highest paid classical singers in the world

Is one of the more famous ones, but there are quite a few. It's hard to 
become good and their music is pretty exclusively choral and baroque. I was 
seriously  considering becoming one till I found my bass baritone voice. Now 
it's kind of like a passing fancy, like what's needed in Carmina Buana.
They are showing some wair though, the guy singing has a slow vibrato which 
comes from singing to forcefully. The falsetto is delicate, but those guys 
were ratting on it pretty hard. Their throat growls sundered the worst to 
me.
But it's really not true that a high C is high, I can hit a high F, F5 I 
believe, although I'm a lower falsetto  singer. What's really cool is this 
guy:

He can hit everything in his chest voice what I couldn't dream of in my 
falsetto.
BTW, if you want an amazing watch, all 6 parts of the BBC show on castrati 
are something that shouldn't be missed. Except for the extreme covetous of 
the narrator counter tenor to be a castrato, and the castration devices, 
it's quite gripping... (Not to say the castration devices wouldn't be 
gripping, just perhaps in another way, not so nice.
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

How can these guys sing like this, and not ruin their voices?
Their lead singer has been doing this since 1960, and is still able to
do songs in the same key!
Wow!
I wouldn't advise anyone to sing like that!
Thanks, Joshua
