Alto or countertenor?

[edit]

Abell is the sole survivor in the alto cat. but was he really a countertenor? Any ideas? Also was he Scottish or English? -- Kleinzach 07:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 1919 Baker's calls him an alto, which is what I based that on. If anyone has access to a more recent biography that would be worth checking. --Delirium 07:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Grove says countertenor, and also that he was a Scot. I've changed the article to reflect that. Cheers, Moreschi Talk 12:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
