Not only LIKE and THANK but GREATLY APPRECIATED that you posted this. Now I have it coming in the mail. I did not like Bartoli for the most part, but now she is growing on me and I think her voice is best suited to Baroque (I need Rinaldo with her in it, but there is that pesky countertenor), so this will suffice. Not quite Baroque but close I guess.
MY countertenor problem is multifold. One is that they are creepy. But a new issue just popped up that if I listen to contertenors it could make me not like female altos if they remind me of contertenors. I don't want to go so far as to say all countertenors should be summarily shot, but they do present a problem to me, and they do have the right to sing, whether I like it or not.
