	ALFRED DELLER, biography, discography
		Deller founded the Stout Music Festival in 1963 in order to have another venue for his Consort and to team with other early music specialists such as Frans Brüggen and Gustav Leonhardt.
		Deller's expressive voice literally was the cause for the discovery of an entirely new repertoire for British concert-goers, and his hundreds of recordings are still prized by collectors.
		Deller's recordings cover the entire range of his repertoire from the lute songs of Dowland to Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream with many stops along the way.

		Deller's unusual voice was particularly suited to Renaissance music and to the music of Handel and Purcell.
		In 1948 he formed the Deller Consort, which presented authentic performances of medieval, Renaissance, and baroque music; the consort made numerous recordings and performed all over the world.
		Deller's son, Mark Deller, is also a countertenor, who often performed with his father.

	Decca Music Group - Alfred Deller
		His fame spread rapidly owing to the unusual beauty of his voice and Alfred Dller sang in the inaugural broadcast of BBC Radio 3 in 1946.
		Deller founded The Deller Consort which was a pioneer in the revival of interest in early music, but he was also a champion of living composers.
		Deller has paved the way for two further generations of countertenors whose early 21st century zenith finds itself now with world stars such as David Daniels and Andreas Scholl.

	Countertenor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The countertenor voice went through a massive resurgence in popularity in the second half of the 20th century, partly caused by pioneers such as Alfred Deller and by the increased popularity of Baroque opera and also due to a need of male singers to replace the castrati roles in opera.
		The most visible icon of the countertenor revival was Alfred Deller, an English singer and champion of authentic early music performance.
		Deller was the first modern countertenor to achieve such celebrity, but he would not be the last.

		The Deller Consort was firmly in that tradition.
		Alfred Deller, of course, almost single-handedly revived the counter-tenor voice and stimulated new interest in that repertoire.
		Deller's voice took some getting used to, but he was a superb singer.

	Alfred Deller - Bach Cantatas & Other Vocal Works - General Discussions
		The shrink wrap has come off the Deller CD of the two Bach solo alto cantatas-agnus dei (with a few of the items from the Handel disk).
		I am actually surprised that it has been released as even the LP was arcane and not widely known as the father and son recording was the very popular one.
		First on was Alfred Deller's recordings of Cantatas BWV 54 and BWV 170, plus the Agnus Dei from the MBM and a few snippets of Handel.

		In 1948, Deller, at the forefront of the early music movement, founded the Deller Consort, a vocal ensemble specializing in medieval, renaissance, and baroque music.
		Deller debuted the part of Shakespeare's famous fairy king at the Aldeburgh Festival that same year, and made musical history in the process.
		Yet, unlike the majority of contemporary countertenors, who use their entire vocal chords to produce a sound that is rich and resonant, Deller was a falsettist, using only the edges of the vocal chords to create a thinner, lighter voice that was better suited to songs, oratorios, and chamber opera than larger operatic works.

		During the last 10 years of his life Alfred Deller made approximately 50 recordings for Harmonia Mundi, and here, 25 years after his death in 1979, the label celebrates and commemorates the work of this uniquely gifted and influential artist.
		Deller also shines in the Purcell theatre pieces, especially "Fairest Isle" from King Arthur.
		If you've never heard Deller, this collection will provide reason enough to appreciate his singular achievement and stature in the history of vocal music and period-performance.

		One of the first male altos to come into prominence in the twentieth century was Alfred Deller, who was born at Margate in England on 31 May 1912 and died at Bologna in Italy on 16 July 1979.
		He was a lay clerk in succession at Canterbury Cathedral and St Paul's Cathedral in London before forming The Deller Consort for the authentic performance of a neglected repertory.
		The role of Oberon in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream was created for him, and there has been a succession of fine countertenors since.

		The Deller Consort, one of the earliest groups to revive English Baroque and pre-Baroque music, was established in 1950 by countertenor Alfred Deller.
		Bevan was an integral member of the Deller Consort, which inevitably changed over the years; Alfred Deller died in 1979 and was succeeded by his son, Mark, who had been a member since 1964.
		He also became a regular tutor and mentor at Deller's summer school, the Deller Academy, at Lacoste in Provence.

		Four pioneering members of the Deller Consort are heard, and accompaniments are sometimes provided by recorder and lute.
		If you are old enough to have possessed these recordings in their original early stereo format, you'll notice that the sound is much cleaner, with most but not all background hum erased.
		With Alfred Deller and his Deller Consort, accompanied only by recorder and lute, this offering sounds (to me) the most authentic of all such programs.
