Anthony Roth Costanzo + Les Violins Du Roy

The sound of a countertenor is magical, floating, gilded,and luminous, in the same range as a mezzo soprano but with the peculiar timbre of the male falsetto. And Durham native Anthony Roth Costanzo is one of the best around, bringing a distinctive charisma, emotional richness,and performative fearlessness to the countertenor’s peculiar repertoire, which is predominantly Baroque and contemporary opera. His new album, ARC, brings together arias and songs by George Friedrich Handel and Philip Glass. His flexible voice makes a convincing case for Handel’s modernity and Glass’s baroqueness (especially in the synth-free accompaniment provided by Les Violons duRoy). —Dan Ruccia
