Sopranist

From Free net encyclopedia

Current revision

A sopranist is a male singer who sings in the soprano vocal range.

There is a large body of music for male soprano written when it was common to use a castrato - a voice type which, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists. Sopranists are very rare, since most countertenors are altos.

Present day sopranists include:

• Simone Bartolini
• Jorge Cano
• Ouatu Florin Cezar
• Aris Christofellis
• Robert Crowe
• Anton Diva
• Philippe Jaroussky
• Paul Laumont
• Michael Maniaci
• Angelo Manzotti
• Radu Marian
• Javier Medina
• Tomotaka Okamoto
• Dariusz Paradowski
• Oleg Ryabets
• Jörg Waschinski
