Alessandro Moreschi (11 November 1858 – 21 April 1922) was a castrato singer of the late 19th century and the only castrato to make solo recordings. ==Early life==
Alessandro Moreschi was born into a Roman Catholic family in the town of Monte Compatri, near Frascati (Lazio). It is possible that he was born with an inguinal hernia, for which castration was still thought to be a cure in nineteenth-century Italy.〔Clapton, N: Moreschi and the Voice of the Castrato (London, 2008), pp. 60–62〕 Another possibility is that he was castrated later, around 1865, which would have been more in line with the centuries-old practice of castrating vocally talented boys well before puberty. In any case, much later in life, he referred to his enjoyment singing as a boy in the chapel of the Madonna del Castagno, just outside his native town.〔Clapton, p. 62〕
