Les castrats au temps de Mozart
This is an album of mainly slow coloraturas which require all Aris's superb vocal control. Being slow and sometimes rather long, these arias are particularly difficult to sing well.
In accordance with Aris's strong principles of artistic honesty, these are live recordings. Vocal mistakes are not engineered away.
