Which countertenor is better: Andreas Scholl or David Daniels? I'm in awe of them both.

I would say "Neither"--but I'm biased :->

I don't like countertenors, as a rule, but on the whole I prefer the French sound, like Dominique Visse or Gerard Lesne. Chanticleer's Randy Wong is also good, but I'm not sure whether he's a countertenor or sopranist :-)

I'll check them out. Thanks!

BTW, have you ever heard of German tenor named Fritz Wunderlich? He was a Mozart and Schubert specialist who died in an accident back in the 1960s. Magnificent voice.

Just checked them out on Youtube. Lesne I could listen to for hours. Thanks for the rec - what a lovely warm tone he has to his voice.
