An eloquent ... By: Kievest. on 31 Dec 10, 06:08:49 An eloquent simplicity and clarity illuminates Kirkby's voice revealing the inner
elegance and grandeur of Purcell's sublime music. Kirkby's singing is
emminently suited to the expression of the profound feeling and prayerful
atmosphere created? by the genius that was Henry Purcell! The paintings and
visuals not only support the music, but are to be appreciated as great art
onto themselves. Images, poetry, and music are beautifully and seamlessly
combined into an exceptional video! TY!
Kirkby's ... By: grandadpoppyable. on 30 Dec 10, 14:19:19 Kirkby's ornamentations are if anthing mostly there but patially hidden in an attempt to keep? the focus on the continuo line and please the purists. Becomming almost TOO pure to listen to. I think if one is going to embelish, then embelish deliberatly. Corelli or Handel would have no trouble taking the finished Mozart manuscripts and finishing them off properly.
In fact, I'm sure I ... By: shaunjp508. on 22 Dec 10, 01:38:55 In fact, I'm sure I heard from someone who knows these things that Kirkby's vibrato can be as much as a semitone wide on each side of the? sung note. The difference between her and many other sopranos is that she can decide when to use it and how to use it. Her vibrato is often very quick so we don't notice the breadth of it. Compare that to other sopranos that really on vibrato to 'sound like a professional' - bleurgh,

@Mooncelt Rosen ... By: FoolishZebby. on 10 Nov 10, 13:38:54 @Mooncelt Rosen says something about how violinists and singers both suffer from an excess of vibrato these days: they rely on the moment's grace they get to? almost hit the pitch and then adjust. None of that here!
Normally I find soprano voice unbearable, the vibrato too piercing and bleating like you said. This sound is just gorgeous though!

By: rumezzo. on 23 Oct 10, 13:13:43 @Zorica12 People who say she has no vibrato are simply ignorant of the functions of the vocal mechanism; the level of vibrato she uses is an artistic choice.

Alfred Deller (31 May 1912 -- 16 July 1979) was an English singer, one of the main figures in popularising the use of the countertenor voice in renaissance and baroque music.

I was listening ... By: Sunflowers159. on 27 Nov 11, 18:51:58 I was listening last week to a BBC Radio 4 programme on countertenors. It was fascinating. It mentioned Alfred Deller and the way his voice was different from the "normal" cathedral male alto voice of the time in being clearer with less vibrato. It's much better to have countertenors? rather than female altos singing baroque operatic roles like Gluck's Orfeo because that was who they were originally written for.
