Brandon Acker on theorbo accompanying countertenor Michael Skarke (michaelskarke....) in the aria "Lucidissima face" from the opera: "La Calisto" by Cavalli (1602-1676). A countertenor is a male voice that sings in a female register using "falsetto." I think it is such a sensitive and beautiful sound!

You can really hear the centuries of practice that Brandon and his fellow vampires have put into their musical talents.

Vampires? Explain that please.

@brianspenst1374 Год назад

@@oreally8605 it is a running joke amongst long time fans of Brandon. His soft vocal tones, youthful looks, incredible skill with a 300 year old instrument, all point to him being a vampire. He has played into it on a coule videos for fun.

Lucidissima face, di Tessaglia le note, non sturbino i tuoi giri, e la tua pace. Da gl'Atlantici monti, tra boccando le rote, Febo, dal caro ardente, omai, omai tramonti. Il mio lume nascente, Illuminando il cielo, più bello a me si mostri, e risplendente. Astro mio vago, e caro, a' tuoi raggi di gelo, nel petto amante a nutrir fiamme imparo, imparo.

When someone says “the voice of an angel” it’s usually just a compliment to say that one has a great voice. But in this case, it’s more of an objective fact that he literally sounds like an angel than a compliment! Bloody fantastic work and great theorbo playing as always

Merveilleuse association theorbe/contretenor. Les compétences de B. Acker pour cet instrument sont indiscutables et la voix est très expressive et contrôlée. Bravo. On retourne ici aux sources du chant dit "lyrique", où la voix était accompagnée d'une lyre, remplacée ici par le theorbe. Merci pour cette vidéo

@PaisleyPatchouli Год назад

This takes me back in history... way back to the 1970s! - when David Munrow and his Early Music Consort of London released their seminal three LP boxed set "The Art Of Courtly Love" which actually won a Grammy Award! (First for an Early Music recording I think.) Anyway, on that record are performances by the first countertenor I had ever heard, Mr James Bowman. I strongly suggest you all seek out those recordings and enjoy them; these musicians were breaking ground in Early Music curating, research, and performance and even though Mr Munrow's interpretations are these-days not universally lauded for 'historical accuracy', the music which they made then was evocative, inspired, fascinating, creative and above all, FRESH! I don't think we'd have Jordi Savall, Hesperion XX, and all the other masterful Early Music artists who came after if it hadn't been for this one award winning project: "The Art Of Courtly Love", perhaps the "Sgt Pepper's" of the Early Music oeuvre.

@lilylute1248 Год назад

Brandon - I'm curious, did you tab out the realization? I know you're playing from 3 staves which can be a pain to read as a theorbist, especially with the two treble instruments so far from the basso continuo.

@lilylute1248 Год назад

Either way it's a wonderful realization and really like it - if you have it tabbed out I wonder if you'd be willing to send it as I'd love to duet it with my mezzo soprano friend next time we put a concert together.

@brandonacker Год назад

Thank you! I just read from the continuo and grabbed what I could from the treble line. So it was only improvisation.
