Farinelli (Laserdisc)

Description: Farinelli won a Golden Globe® award for Best Foreign Language Film, and was nominated for an Academy Award® for the same category. The story is about an 18th century castrato known to his audiences as Farinelli, whose real name was Carlo Broschi. Broschi lived between 1705 and 1782. He was castrated without his consent sometime between the ages of seven and eight to preserve the childlike quality of his voice. He soon rose to somewhat mythical status because of his good looks, his beautiful voice, and his ability to sing 250 notes in a single breath and sustain a note for more than a minute. His older brother Riccardo composed the music for him to interpret and the two shared everything, including their women.LaserDisc Picture:The matted 1.70:1 picture is rich with vivid colors, natural fleshtones, and deep, solid blacks. Dazzling is descriptive of the picture. LaserDisc Soundtrack:The soundtrack has a subtle, often aggressive surround presence with sound effects that are directional and dynamic, and a terrific, enveloping music score.
