I think I can do better for you concerning the recordings; they are all on Opal
CD 9823 (Pavilion Records), with a
booklet, of which I wrote the major part.
Farinelli he was /not/; but he had sung the Seraph's aria from Beethoven's
"Christus am Oelberge" at the
funerals of two Italian kings; a taxing effort indeed, but too early for
adequate recording. I can let a few
contributors to this group have copies. Don't all shout at once !
Please see my web site,
