Serenade
It's a truism by now that countertenors have made a notable  comeback in our time, but David Daniels--Amazon.com's Opera & Vocal  Artist of 2000--isn't about to rest on his laurels. As if his recent  successes weren't enough to set him apart, on this recital album  Daniels forays beyond the countertenor's stereotypical domain of the  baroque to interpret lieder of Beethoven and Schubert, as well as  French mélodies and Vaughan Williams. A stunningly beautiful  disc.--Thomas May
