Now, I have to ask this question... your statement almost suggests that a lutesong countertenor (or pop or choral) should not be included in discussions on this list. I know that's not what you mean, but it brings up a subtle assumption I think many of us carry. The culture of vocalist considers anything none operatic is somewhat off-topic. This is not to say all of us feel this way, but there are enough who do that it doesn't always feel like home to me.
