In Contra-Tenor, Michael Spyres ventures to the time of the castrati to bring to light the wealth of tenor repertoire left behind. Discover the album, recorded with Il Pomo d’Oro and Francesco Corti, here: As Michael points out: “The fame of the castrati in the mid-1700s has long been established, but very few people realize just how famous their contemporary tenor rivals were.“ The program highlights composers from Lully to early Mozart by way of Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, Gluck, and lesser-known figures in world premiere recordings.
