Our Take
There are few things more extraordinary in the world of music than the sound of a castrato. The hauntingly beautiful and ethereal tones that these rare singers produced have captivated listeners for centuries. Enter Franco Fagioli, Stefan Plewniak, and the Choeur & Orchestre de l'Opera Royal, the talented artists behind "The Last Castrato: Arias For Velluti."
From the moment the first note rings out, it's clear that this album is something special. Fagioli's voice soars to incredible heights, effortlessly hitting notes that most singers can only dream of reaching. Plewniak's skillful direction of the orchestra creates a lush backdrop for Fagioli's incredible vocals to shine.
The selections on "The Last Castrato" are a mix of well-known arias and hidden gems, each one performed with passion and precision. From the melancholic "Caro Mio Ben" to the stirring "A te, o cara," Fagioli and Plewniak bring these centuries-old pieces to life with a modern flair.
But what truly sets this album apart is the way in which it pays tribute to the lost art of the castrato. Fagioli's dedication to preserving and celebrating this unique vocal tradition is evident in every note he sings.
In short, "The Last Castrato" is a stunning showcase of talent, passion, and history. Whether you're a fan of baroque music or simply appreciate incredible vocal prowess, this album is a must-listen. Bravo, Franco Fagioli and Stefan Plewniak, bravo.
