      Do you like Chinese music? Fauré imitates traditional Chinese music. This is unbearable for the European ear.
      I can listen to it only thanks to the performer- the world's prime boy soprano Archie White.

      @@Alexander_Goosev Los 14 años es la edad de oro del niño cantor. Es cuando su voz, respiración e interpretación han alcanzado madurez. Archie, en su aspecto físico del vídeo aún conserva la fisonomía de niño cantor. A tener en cuenta que en siglos pasados, los niños conservaban su voz hasta 17 años o más, según la técnica y los cuidados de alimentación.
      La voz de Archie es voz de niño, colocada en los resonadores vocales adecuados. ¿por qué ese afán de llamar falsete a toda voz aguda bien colocada técnicamente? La voz en los resonadores de cabeza, es voz natural. El falsete es otra cosa.

      @@Alexander_Goosev No coincido. Sólo coinciden en que cantan en la misma escala de notas. Franco Fagioli es un contratenor. Su voz es totalmente diferente. Su técnica es buena, apoyo diafragmático correcto y su capacidad pulmonar le permite el aprendizaje de obras grandes. Sus resonadores vocales están totalmente "in maschara", en los resonadores de cabeza. La voz de Archie es una voz de niño, buena técnicamente y es voz con armónicos distintos a cualquier contratenor. La colocación de la voz de Archie es también "in maschara", pero por debajo de los ojos, añadiendo cierta resonancia pectoral, debido a un pequeño fallo en el apoyo de la voz, que no es totalmente diafragmática; sube el apoyo a la zona clavicular (defecto general en la mayoría de los niños). Suena más, pero tiene el peligro de "tensar" la voz y gastarla antes. He tenido coro de niños varones y he trabajado solistas y sé lo difícil que es poder trabajar a fondo la técnica por la brevedad de la duración de la voz del niño. Pero la calidad de sus voces es extraordinaria cuando se logra encauzarla. Un saludo cordial

      @@influencer8757 To be honest, Archie felt supported. This was his first public performance. He was not close to the organist and had lights in his eyes, so he was dealing with many unfamiliar things. He had only met the organist that day, so there was little opportunity to develop an artistic relationship. He certainly felt he was in safe hands and was being sensitively accompanied. Microphone placement may have some relevance but I think the most challenging thing was tempo, as communication was difficult in that setting.
