"I
know that you've mentioned countertenor Darryl Taylor before on your
website but have you seen this? I came across this by coincidence.
It's of Taylor singing 'Vivi, tiranno!' from Handel's opera
Rodelinda,
HAPPY
NEW YEAR!
Sincerely,

I had not known of Darryl Taylor. As a voice fan--especially of tenors and countertenors--I ordered one of his CDs. Thank you for all the goodies, of which I can partake very few--and enjoy the knowledge. Gwen [Gwendoline Y. Fortune]
Nice ….. but I then explored a bit and was totally bowled out by the arrangement of Amazing Grace arr by the late Hale Smith (despite poor sound on you tube) and Sence you Went Away (arr by Leslie Adams) and then I went on to the others.. Could not help being moved to tears. It is my oversight that I have previously only heard Darryl’s performances as tenor.. What an oversight! The CD ‘Love Rejoices’ is now on order from Amazon!!! [Michael S. Wright]
Leslie's Sence you went away is a really great contribution to the literature. I think I've said this before. This may not be my last time. [Dominique-René de Lerma]

Dear Sergio, et al. Thanks so
much for the positive commentary on my switch to countertenor. I did
this about 5 years ago and am full-time dedicated to the fach. I've
recorded a CD of spirituals for Albany Records in this voice type. You
can hear three clips from it on youtube by going here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg7fvYDElKg. I hope you enjoy! All best wishes for a safe and prosperous 2012! Darryl [Darryl Taylor]
Good news all around. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!! S [Sergio Mims]
