The Macabre History of The Castrati - With Recording.
The Castrato was a unique form of classical male singer, with the pitch of a small boy and the power of an adult. These singers were not born with this ability. Instead, the most talented young choir singers were forced to undergo gruesome surgery to preserve their ethereal voices. The process of creating Castrati has now been banned, thankfully!
