Music reviews of The Best of Andreas Scholl
Music Review: The Best of the Best
Rating: 5 Stars
If you are new to the world of countertenors, this is definitely the album to start with. Included are achingly beautiful arias and stunningly executed arias -- How could anyone sing "Al lampo dell' armi" so fast! I dare say you couldn't even say the words as fast as he sings them! Yet he doesn't miss a note. Each one is as crisp and clear as the one before or after it. The crispness, the crystal clarity of his tone, the ability to sing the meaning of the music not just the notes and words -- these are some of the reasons I recommend this album so highly. For me it is the best music by the world's best countertenor.
