David Cordier (GB/D), David Daniels (USA), Paolo Gazzano (I),

Johnny Maldonado (USA), Werner Marschall
(D, page by Chr. Panse), Graham Pushee (AUS/CH), Ralf Popken (D),

Storm) who sang classical arias in bizarre modern arrangements as well as pop songs with an high alto voice (up to g'' (G5)) was also a falsettist. He died of an AIDS related illness in 1983. Michael Aspinall, his British "counterpart", seems to be an alto as well. |
