Description:
Anthony Ross Costanzo, the countertenor with the most appearances in the history of the Metropolitan Opera, radiates beauty and uniqueness. This beautiful, exploratory performance sees the opera star delve deeply into the mystery, history, and expressive possibilities embodied in his “one-of-a-kind voice.” “This album reflects both the history of the book and my own personal history,” says countertenor Anthony Ross Costanzo. Throughout the recording, listeners can hear rapid shifts between chest voice and head voice, as well as yodel-like “voice breaks” that smoothly connect notes. For him, this very form of expression is the gateway to the vocal range that transformed his life and career and fostered a mindset that allows him to live as his true self. Costanzo views being a countertenor as “gaining a special ‘voice’—an instrument with a unique sound and rich expressiveness.” At the same time, it is a symbolic presence that penetrates deeply into the conscious and unconscious depths of the listener’s mind. Described by *The New York Times* as “one of the opera world’s biggest stars,” his book *Countertenor* traces his own journey and the history of this unique vocal register. The countertenor has carried on the repertoire of the castrati—who underwent surgical castration before puberty during the Baroque era—and has helped define the nature of modern opera. Dan Schlosberg’s unique arrangements also contribute to the album’s expression; the countertenor’s striking beauty and overwhelming otherness spark creative innovation and challenge traditional concepts of gender and identity. With overflowing passion and intelligence, he presents a comprehensive overview of the countertenor—spanning from Baroque to pop—along with deep insights into his own artistic career as a singer and producer.
