I am now officially in love.

Andreas Scholl sang three Handel arie at the last night of the Proms, starting with 'Ombra mai fu' from Xerxes. At this precise moment, I would comando-crawl naked over hot coals for him.







I mean take the above, and give it one of the purest and most glorious counter-tenor voices :swoon:

1. Ooooh... I love a good counter-tenor!

He's cute!!

[tjwmason]

2. He is quite stunning - and little else gets even close as a discription

So totally masculine as a man (woof), yet such a pure high - and yes feminine - sound.

Edit typo.

3. whenever i hear ombra mai fu i think of dangerous liaisons

frears used it in that... great movie

[tjwmason]

4. B.T.W. You're still on the short-list sweety

But until I hear you sing counter-tenor I think that Scholl just has the edge.

If you do sing counter-tenor, then I'll catch the very next flight to New Mexico.

5. Oooh... and so would I!
