I am glad you enjoyed it. He has been labeled "the Diamond Voice", and apparently has a huge following in Japan. He himself is Russian. With my new headphones, I can actually hear it quite clearly, and I am beginning to think his voice is more than exquisiite. Exquisite just doesn't seem to be enough for me.

Here is Caccini's Ave Maria, which I would normally prefer to be sung by a Soprano, but Slava Kagan (one of the world's greatest counter-tenors in the past decade) sings it extraordinarily well.

Oh my Daniel, that defies the power to praise. He is utterly magnificent.
David In Indy:
Thank you everyone for your contributions! :D
The following video clip is a bit different. It is Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria in Excelsis Deo . Read along with the sheet music as you listen to the song! :)

"Utterly Magnificent".... That might work. Still sounds, a little.... earthbound?
Slava Kagan sings Rakhmananov's The Quet Melody accapella, in multiple layers. I was going to save this video for an appropriate moment on the PT, but it might get some appreciation here...

Daniel:
Bach's Air on the G String is not really a Christmas melody, but Slava Kagan's layered recording of this musical feast may very well become a part of my Christmas traditions.

And I'd better stop with this one... before this thread turns into the Slava Kagan admiration board.
