About the channel

Celebrating coloratura sopranos in all their florid and stratospheric glory! I call myself "songbirdwatcher" because I've been avidly collecting recordings of soprano songbirds for about 40 years. I curate and post coloratura vocal music from different genres and eras, sung by sopranos from across the globe, spanning decades. Along with famous stars, I try to showcase singers that are less known from the past and young newcomers. For context, I provide brief overviews of the music and the singers' careers. To keep my content unique, I don't post anything that's already on YouTube, with a few noted exceptions. All content on the channel is presented for fair-use educational value -- the channel is not monetized. If you have a copyright concern, please contact me directly via email. I moderate channel comments so there may be a delay. Thoughtful criticism is fine, but I have no tolerance for snide comments that disrespect the singers or other viewers on a forum which I host.
