Friar Alessandro

Post by lennygoran » Sun Mar 26, 2017 8:49 am

I think this would fit in here rather than the Pub? My Thirteen PBS schedule for April arrived and listed this show to air April 13 and repeated a number of times-had never heard of him but there's plenty from YouTube and wiki. Regards, Len

"Alessandro Brustenghi (born in Assisi, Italy on 21 April 1978) also known as Friar Alessandro or at times Brother Alessandro (in English), Frate Alessandro (in Italian) or Frère Alessandro (in French) is an Italian Franciscan friar and a tenor singer of religious music. He is also the first religious brother to land an exclusive record contract with a major record label, in this case Universal Music.[1]"

A fine voice, but the selection is right up there with Panis Angelicus as Catholic schlock. Move over, Andrea Bocelli, etc., not to mention Luciano Pavarotti.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
-- Johann Sebastian Bach
