Giovanni Carestini (1700- c. 1760 was a castrato singer most famous for his long collaboration with Georg Friedrich Händel. Roles like Ruggiero in Händel's Alcina were tailored to his voice. However, he also performed works by Leonardo Vinci, Christoph Willibald Gluck and Johann Adolph Hasse.[1]
According to various sources, his voice started out in the soprano range and evolved to become a contralto during his career. His cadenzas were wildly imaginative.[2]
Johann Adolph Hasse – Händel's competition – had to say: "Wer Carestini nicht gehört hat, weiß nicht, was absolut vollkommener Gesang ist." (Who hasn't heard Carestini doesn't know absolute vocal perfection.")
The parts that Händel wrote for him provide an insight about the many qualities Carestini must have had: exceptional breath control, great flexibility over a range of two octaves, and equal eloquence in all registers.[2]
