• “A tenor who has the world at his feet.” – Opera 2017

• Michael Spyres’s new album is the perfect companion to his 2021 BariTenor release, which received rave reviews worldwide.

• Recorded with the fabulous Il Pomo d’Oro under Francesco Corti • Features works by Handel, Hasse, Mazzoni, Pergolesi, Porpora, Sarro, Scarlatti, Vinci, Vivaldi, and more – spanning even to Mozart

• These two albums show the progression of vocal writing for the natural male voice: in Contra-Tenor from 1707–1770, then BariTenor as the male vocal categorization begins to blur from 1790 through the mid-20th century

• Michael’s vision is to bridge the gap between “early music” and “classical music”, directing fans of both eras to each other’s territory through these unique and distinct album concepts

• He crafts these programs with great care and is intelligent, witty, and brilliant on the stage and in interviews!

• “In truth, this album’s concept was born out of my research to find the absolute extremes of the human voice whether it be yodeling, Tuvan throat singing, overtone singing, or the many categories of the classical voice. There has never been an album dedicated to this era of vocal history which is by all accounts uncategorizable by the fach system not to mention virtually unsingable to most singers in the present day” – Michael Spyres

Vocal masterpiece by the god of virtuosity. Bravo, Mr. Spyres! At last one can hear baroque as it should be sung.
