Title: Haunting
Product review: When I first heard Mera, I was taken aback by the quality of his voice. A sampler disc arrived with a Gramophone magazine and it took me some time to get around to listening to it, thinking that he was "just another counter-tenor". However, it became apparent very quickly that Yoshikazu Mera is not "just another counter-tenor". His voice floats, it soars. It is haunting, sometimes it seems to come from another world. I have also listened to his Baroque recordings, but this disc (as well as the recent "Romance") sets Mera apart from the other counter-tenors. The material on "Nightingale" is very evocative and Mera paints beautiful pictures with the shadings in his voice.
