Very Good, loved it ... ( 1 year ago by berlingoski)

Very Good, loved it, I'd say he's become my 2nd fav, right after Master Scholl. The way he sings Questo cor non ceder
á, right before the pause really beautiful. Someone clapped at the pause LOL. That happens when you listen to some musical piece for the first time and don't know whether it's a pause or the end hehehe.

It's a little bit ... ( 1 year ago by correpetitor)

It's a little bit boring and all the time the same color...

The bravura arias ... ( 1 year ago by lionelpower)

The bravura arias are not for him...

I agree lionelpower ... ( 1 year ago by altosuperior)

I agree lionelpower. It's bit camp also. And I can't believe a singer of Brian Asawa's ability (I'm not disputing the fact that he's brilliant singer) is giving a recital with a score. David Daniels' recording of this is definitive (in my humble opinion, of course).

Isn't it the ... ( 1 year ago by dalem)

Isn't it the etiquette, that you play with the score, unless it's an orchestra accompanying you? (As in, chamber music) You can see, he rarely looks at the score.

i don't like his ... ( 1 year ago by gehaktmolen)

i don't like his voice, sorry..:o Idd, he sounds boring, not a nice sound. Andreas Scholl for the win:D

For me, he's not an ... ( 1 year ago by Gerwent47)

For me, he's not an artist with poetry. it's "machine" with trebles ! listen the first falsetti, as Alfred Deller, Ren
é Jacobs, Henri Ledroit. I wish that you will understand.

He sings quite good ... ( 1 year ago by gnnoriega)

He sings quite good, but with the faces he makes, he looks like a frightened little lamb XD hahaha

Could anyone tell ... ( 1 year ago by herculesihk)

Could anyone tell me which opera and role does this aria come from? Thank you.

This aria is Venga ... ( 1 year ago by Vaslav72)

This aria is Venga pur, minacci e frema from Mitridate, re di Ponto. I suppose the role is Mitridate.

you got the aria ... ( 1 year ago by sluttyRuth)

you got the aria right but the role is farnace, older son of mitridate.

Sorry but Daniels ... ( 1 year ago by dbutlin)

Sorry but Daniels is still better! Daniels is a lot less inhibited and his voice is much more emotive...well that's how I feel anyway.

Why the HELL is he ... ( 1 year ago by urgrad03)

Why the HELL is he still reading this music out of his score for at this point? He's not sounding as great as one would imagine considering all the hype.

It's all about ... ( 1 year ago by beezoid27)

It's all about opening the inner resonance of the pharynx :)

he just sounds like ... ( 1 year ago by garden0fgraves)

he just sounds like a so-so female alto.

decent, but Brian, ... ( 1 year ago by vlnvlaclogbaerhpno)

decent, but Brian, you're supposed to add some variation by means of ornamentation when you repeat the first section of the area. you didn't do any of that. why not just give us a sedative? you have so much talent, but you need to release yourself. a great recording of this aria to listen to is Jochen Kowalski's. keep up the good work. just let go, emote, and for god's sake, add some ornamentation when you have a repeated theme in this kind of music!!!

sorry, i DO know ... ( 1 year ago by vlnvlaclogbaerhpno)

sorry, i DO know how to spell....a-r-i-a, NOT 'area'

The role is Farnace. ( 1 year ago by Cmac1528)

The role is Farnace.

This aria is as you ... ( 11 months ago by makoto174)

This aria is as you say a typically da capo aria, so the repeated part is supposed to be sung with some additional ornamentationsl. But in the case of this aria, I cannot help but wonder whether adding ornamentation will turn out to consequently have a good effect or not. I am sure that the omission of ornamentation is not his innabity to do so.

Hi! Im a counter ... ( 10 months ago by richardfactory)

Hi! Im a counter tenor in So-Cal. Do you know his contact? I wanna meet him!

I would agree with ... ( 6 months ago by dbrel)

I would agree with several -- I have a recording of Jake Heggie pieces with Asawa, and I am just not impressed. The voice is not up to the hype, and seeing him here singing off of a score makes it worse. Plus, I find him cold -- just nothing behind the notes.. Daivd Daniels blows him out of the water -- not even in the same class..

Oh my gosh, his ... ( 6 months ago by chumscrubber0lover)

Oh my gosh, his voice sounds like a woman's. That is absolutely fascinating! I never even knew countertenors existed!! It's fantastic that an interest in such realms of music are still so prevalent and popular!

If one had time to ... ( 6 months ago by sfkcbf)

If one had time to listen to most countertenor recordings available today, Andreas Scholl's recording of this composition must be one of the most amazing and satisfying of all. His technique is precise and clear, his da capo tasteful, and his tone remains beautiful thoughout. His skill defies explanation.

I agree. Scholl's ... ( 1 day ago by idamclopes)

I agree. Scholl's recording is the best. Asawa's rendition lacks the passion, the rage and defiance this aria requires. Another thing: by only listening to Asawa, you cannot tell it's a man who is singing. On the other hand, with Scholl you know it at the very first notes.
