"Upon my word, it is not so. O how deligthful it is to use on a beautiful, unwilling girl a key so full of cunning which opens for all and never leaves a mark. And, if someone says that my cartridges are blank, I answer that, all over the world, for births, celebrations, and pleasures, even the Bombadiers shoot without their balls!" [2nd video version incl.5 newly acquired castrato portraits]. Farinelli/ Velluti/ Marchesi/ Pagliardi/ Bitti/ Castris/ Montoya/ Rauzzini/ Gaudagni/ Scalzi/ Senesino/ Moreschi/ Pasqualini. Quando Tal'Hor: Lamento del Castrato (anonymous) (For further information about high-male voices, check http://www.malesopranos.com )

If is a "lamento", sure is sad.

That's because youtube won't let you put in a full url. Just paste it at the end of youtube . com next to the / in your address bar. You'll have to erase what is currently there first.

I'll check it out, but there isn't a full link above.

Doubt you'll find one within the next decade. Period performance has not been long enough in the spot light for this to happen. Western art music isn't that popular in India. Best we can hope for is someone having found a talented young eunuch who became Nirvan before his voice could break and beginning his instruction in Bel Canto baroque singing. Chances are pretty slim. Having said that, there is this video by an Italian singer which spiked my curiosity: watch?v=T2NPYEknePk

Hear anything yet about this? I too have desperatly searched the web in hopes to find a Hijra w/an unbroken voice.

has the wait borne any (unripe..) fruit?

Qualcuno conosce il testo?

This aria is beautiful but the text is very cruel well is lamento barroco so obviously is sad right?

Just had a thought. Radu needs to fix it so he can land the narrator's role in Monteverdi's L'orfeo. Some of those arias have an eerily beautiful sound and were written for a castrato voice.
