Obra: KIng Arthur, Z 628: The Cold Genius Song

Andreas Scholl and Collegium 1704 team up for a refreshing treatment of an early repertoire.

The countertenor voice seems to polarise opinion like no other - you either love it or hate it, there is little middle ground - and even amongst the aficionados (in whose number I count myself), there can be strong, almost tribal allegiances to one school or another and sometimes to individual proponents.
