About

Alessandro Moreschi was the last important representative of a guild that belonged in the era of real singer dedication, a species of singer that fascinated audiences for two whole centuries and was quite capable of sending listeners into raptures.

He has left behind unique recordings, documents of a dying art, as his was the only castrato singing that was ever recorded.

This outstanding vocal artist is to be heard performing religious arias by Palestrina, Bach and Rossini, among others.
