A wide-ranging; nuanced study of a complex phenomenonBy JehoshephatAn extraordinary and thoroughly engrossing study of the castrato in his heyday from the late 16th to the early 19th centuries; challenging but worth the effort for those -- not just fellow scholars -- interested in music history; theater history; gender and sexuality studies and general European social history; including religion. Feldman covers a wide swath of material; but at the same time presents us many individual case histories that give the historical situation real life. The beginning sections seem a bit heavy on academic lingo; but thereafter Feldman writes with a lively pen and deeply humane understanding. This is a tour de force; an example of great musical scholarship and historical narrative.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A Delightful and definitive history of the Castrato by Martha Feldman.By P. Barberthis is Professor Martha Feldmans third BIG book and the most readable for audiences who are not scholars. it is delightful and complete! with chapters on everything from the societal origins and ramifications of castration; to explanations of what castration does to the mature castratos vocal cords; to examples and explanations of the specific music written for and sung by these angels. this is everything you want to know about the Castrato from the definitive source. and; its fun reading. Any and every book by Martha Feldman lifts the bar on the field of musicology and this is that.
