This review is from: The Art of Can Belto (Audio CD)

You've never heard a man sing like this. While some other countertenors have the pitch range that Davina has, her dynamic range is beyond anyone else I've heard in this category. The top register is huge and expansive, and most impressive. And Davina doesn't just bellow. The accuracy and flexibility in the Handel and Mozart are as delightful as the amazingly long, haunting phrases of Summertime and Addio del passato. I have had the pleasure of hearing Davina live several times, including her portrayal of Mabel in "Pirates of Penzance" in Washington DC, and in opera scenes (her spin on "Addio" is...unusual) , and this recording captures the essence of the amazing abilities of this six and a half foot tall soprano with the baritone speaking voice. And the liner notes are a hoot! A must-buy and a great bargain here.
