Although the resulting sound can be rather constrained and hard-edged, the male timbre and clean sound contrasts greatly with the sound of a females voice. The sound of sopranist Aris Christofellis is an acquired taste; however, his precise and agile technique is astonishing in this aria with its rapid notes, leaps, and long gymnastic lines. Vivaldi obviously wrote it to show off the astonishing castrato voice. </video> <video> Alice Verlet, "Hymne d'amour" Description: Alice Verlet (1873-1934) was a Belgian-born operatic coloratura soprano active primarily in France.
