Hear the only castrato ever recorded

[WheelyFixed]

The advantage a castrato has over the kid in the recording is the castrato can hit those high tones as an adult with fully developed adult lungs.

While we don’t have kids with fully developed adult lungs, we do have better acoustics in modern theaters, and like Wheely said, far superior sound recording and sound engineering technologies. I don’t think we are missing that much.

I'm sure we're not. That kind of singing is out of date anyway.

True - Michael Jackson has kicked the bucket.... (He wasn't castrato, but at least according to rumors he was fed enough hormones as a kid to make him close to it....)

Classic Opera and so forth may be out of style, but think about how many rock / country / etc. singers (some female) sing in high ranges or falsetto... (Back before I learned that adult castration doesn't cause voice changes, I know I used to joke about how many black artists sounded like they had a pair of vice-grips applied to certain bits...) How many high pitched kids place really well in "America's Got Stars" and similar reality talent shows?

I would not make any bets that a modern castrati voice could not become a super-star today assuming that his other performing skills were also 'star quality" (I'm not asking anyone to volunteer their kid for the test...)

I downloaded the presentation and with the miracle of Audio Processing. I will try my best to clean it. I'll let you know how it goes.

OK. Here is the cleaned up version of the recording. Be advised that the link will expire in 24 hours.

Thanks, it is still a bit noisy, but much more listenable.... I have saved the file as well so it should be well preserved in multiple locations.

Yeah, there is just so much you can do. It's a case of "Crap in=Crap out", but I gave it my best shot. No offense to the artist, but I did wonder is Mrs. Miller used shim as an inspiration.

Could be, I was actually thinking of another Miller that wanted you to sing along with him by following the bouncing ball....

(Youngsters probably won't get the reference...)
