Just heard this young man on WGBH's From The Top program carried on NPR.

Countertenor Caleb Barnes, 17, from Palmdale, CA.

He is great!

Hey, it's great to hear someone else listens to From the Top. I love that show! I didn't hear it this week, so missed this singer, but I do listen when I can. Wonderful, amazing young talent is featured every week. And you can hear them talk. Mostly, they have more poise than I do.

Of course, that's not saying much.

I fell in love with the sound of the countertenor when I was working in a stage production of The Play of Daniel. I was just a sweet 16 year old. (No I wasn't singing, I was working back stage. On stage Alfred Dellar was making wonderful sounds.

The Australian Graham Pushee is my current favourite and can be heard here in a montage of scenes from The Australian Opera production of Julius Caesar by Handel.

Further excerpts from his work are on

I love Handel's operas, and I love this performance of Julius Caesar. Enough that I just ordered this DVD.
