Will Fly	I Hate the Sound..of 'classically trained' singers (146* d)	RE: I Hate the Sound..of 'classically trained' singers	02 Jun 16
Steven Rickard, the alto voice on the YouTube clip, is a superb singer - and the sound is perfectly in tune with the music of the period. If you don't like him, then you almost certainly won't like Alfred Deller, counter-tenor, and another superb singer who, almost single-handedly and with the Deller Consort, reintroduced the counter-tenor voice to English music. It's good stuff and - to my mind - has more feeling and lyricism than any attempts by Gordon Sumner to reinterpret it. All personal taste, of course.
