Collected for the first time and remastered from the original master tape, the complete recordings made by the epochal countertenor Russell Oberlin for American Decca. Unlike other countertenors, Oberlin did not sing in falsetto, but with his natural tenor voice, which he was able to carry effortlessly — a rare phenomenon — into the alto register. The voice thus sounded not only more powerful and controlled, but also more focused and pure in intonation.
