"Why is this guy singing like that?"


Anyone who knows of my work might be wondering, "I thought this guy was a singer- one of those male soprano, countertenor creatures." Well, yes, that's true. Here's a link to an eclectic collection of vocal mp3s:
songs & arias
It's a mixture of early and modern work by composers such as Vivaldi, Meredith Monk, and others. The selections will change from time to time.
For more information on the (admittedly esoteric) male soprano scene, you might check out Andrea Kopp's well researched
Male Soprano Page
Most of the repertoire is drawn from baroque soprano literature (castrated or otherwise), but several modern composers are writing for us again (e.g., Meredith Monk or Thomas Bloch). Keep it up, guys.

    Dear Mr Wong,

    I have been an admirer of your music for a long time and have followed your career for several years.

    We have in fact met. Many years ago. In the 1980s to be precise.

    Would it be at all possible to exchange e-mails?

    Kind regards,
    A for-the-moment anonymous friend
