Customer Reviews:

Counter tenor is bad otherwise OK.......2004-12-16

it's just that the vibrato of the counter tenor drives me nuts but if you don't mind vibrato you will like it. Nothing terribly interesting in terms of performance but there is no Schwanengesang CDs available as long as I know, you have no choice.
