The musical world is crawling with young countertenors hoping to inherit the crowns of Jaroussky and Scholl. Nicolò Balducci, who, with Amore Dolore, releases his second album, stands out from the crowd, and here, he has picked material that showcases his voice and style to maximum advantage. There are several attractive features to this album. Except for a few Handel hits, the material is fresh, with compositions by Riccardo Broschi (brother of Carlo Broschi, otherwise known as Farinelli) and Egidio Romualdo Duni, plus some not-overly-familiar Vivaldi arias. The orchestral work by the Baroque Academy Gothenburg Symphony is exceptionally lively; the orchestra is directed by Dan Laurin, better known as a recorder virtuoso and stepping into that role as well (hear Vivaldi's "Sol da te, mio dolce amore," from Orlando Furioso). However, the main attraction is Balducci himself. There are more powerful countertenors out there and more purely beautiful ones, but there are very few who offer a feeling of spontaneity that must have been part of the draw of Farinelli and other castrati who sang this music in the first place. Balducci likes to open phrases on the no-vibrato edge, getting one's attention by extending it past where it is comfortable and then letting the voice bloom luxuriantly. He has a repertory of vocal flair, little yips and whoops that he adds to the notated line. He pays attention to the text, which quite a number of self-absorbed countertenors simply do not do, and he is plenty agile when he needs to be; sample Vivaldi's "Nel profondo cieco mondo," also from Orlando Furioso, as Balducci descends into and rises out of the startling depths. He has picked material here that serves him ideally, and the results are compelling indeed, with an over-resonant church acoustic one of the few complaints. This is a countertenor to watch.
