Aris Christofellis - Les Castrats au temps de Mozart / Ensemble Seicentonovecento · Flavio Colusso is a recording starring sopraniste Aris Christofellis. This is a quite rare recording as Christofellis is able to sing as a castrato. Flavio Calusso leads the Ensemble Seicentonovecento on this 1996 EMI recording.
Aris Christofellis, who recorded in the late 1980s and early 1990s, is one of the extraordinarily rare persons who, although he had a normal vocal tessitura for a man, was able to modulate his voice to reach the soprano range. More astoundingly, he could do so with precision and power. He was able to sing the most acrobatic, difficult Baroque arias.
