Good for you, Ember.

When I was your age, unlike most of my peers, I was into Symphonies from the Romantic era onward. Actually, I'm still into symphonies from the Romantic era onward.

That didn't and doesn't mean I don't enjoy many other types of music. It just means life is too short to enjoy only one kind of music.

So are you a tenor or baritone?

My natural range is mezzo-soprano, but my personal goal is to be able to expand to comfortably sing contralto!

Point taken. It was much more the particular music they played and how they played it.

I definitely don't have a down on "old music" per se, but I couldn't raise enthusiasm for much of their repertoire or their style. I joined as an experiment, but the experiment didn't suit me, nor really did I suit them. Yes ... It depends.

My apologies for the gender-bender remark.

Mrs. Notes is an alto, I'm a baritone, but neither sing opera. Pop music pays the bills.

In our last vacation before COVID, we went to Vienna, and were lucky enough to attend two symphonies and Dvorak's opera, Rusalka. It was well done.

Good luck on your quest. I hope to hear you sing some day.

Ahhh, yes, Vienna, Venice, Prague, Zurich and more. Our ears have been treated to some of the most sophisticated classical performances imaginable. Sure hope that is returning.

Two of my favorite female singers are contraltos: Cristina Scabbia and my wife.

No worries at all! I actually wish I was a tenor, I find that range to be the most pleasing to me.

Thank you for the kind words, it's much appreciated! I'm very much a shy performer, so I tend to just sing for my own enjoyment, but maybe one day!


Cheers,
Ember

Contraltos have such beautiful voices, I always find contralto performances to be mesmerizing!
