Ever heard of Alessandro Moreschi? He’s the world’s only recorded true castrato. Moreschi is also the only castrato to be recorded solo. In this recording he is over 50 years old and had lost much of the quality of his voice - nevertheless the resulting recording is incredibly eerie.

No more castratos you say? Clearly we need a Castratro Reality Show. I'm sure there's someone out there who'd chop their nuts off for fame.
