Countertenor David Daniels at Cal Performances

David Daniels, proclaimed one of the top ten trailblazers in classical music today, will sing a recital on January 13, 2008 at 3 p.m. in Hertz Hall on the UC Berkeley campus.
From 16th-century songs by Italian composers to 20th century English songs, Daniels has redefined the countertenor voice for the modern classical listener through his full, rich sound and daring repertoire choices.
Two Handel arias, originally written for castrati, or as breeches roles, are included in the program as well as songs by Johannes Brahms--a composer who likely never heard a countertenor sing.
Daniels will be accompanied by the pianist Martin Katz, "the dean of accompanists."
Daniels is an exclusive Virgin Classics recording artist. His latest album features songs by Berlioz, Ravel and Faure.
Hertz Hall is located at Bancroft Way at College Ave. in Berkeley.
Tickets are $48, through the Cal Performances Ticket Office at Zellerbach Hall, at 510-642-9988 or at http://www.calperformances.net/ and at the door.
