Despite the poor quality of the recording, you can clearly hear that this guy did not have a good or pleasant voice. It's painful to listen to, it's so bad. If he is typical of the castrati, it shows how deluded and ill informed people were in the past as this vocal type is excruciating to listen to. Awful! And all a exult of child abuse in many cases.

Someone correct me on this. It's certainly possible to have an all-male chorus using boys for the sopranos and altos, but the problem with that is turnover at adolescence. I've heard The Brooklyn Boys Chorus (SATB) and it does sound different from a mixed chorus. From what I remember, same reason women couldn’t be priests – not made in Christ’s image.
