Just One Falsetto

[ardcarp]

I can see that anyone watching who prefers a strict classical approach would find it wanting, but for me who enjoys improvising harmony I found it instructive.

Did you even enjoy that greasy slob who proclaimed he was (a) the best falsettist in the universe and (b) irresistable to all women? Yuk.

You watched a wrong programme. It has nothing to do with anything about countertenor. From what I saw, albeit not very long, I can only think that the slots about Iestyn Davies and Harrow Chapel choir were put in just to say ‘they do it over there, too’. In order to add a bit of weight to the subject, maybe? I watched it for some half an hour and thoroughly regretted it.

This does not mean I thought the programme was complete rubbish. It was because I had expected something different. The reference to slavery would have been interesting if I’d had the right mind set.

I'm more interested in the sound than the personalities!

Perhaps we'll get a programme on Cornetto commercials from Mr Yentob next?
