Three countertenors having fun, back in 1995, hot on the heels of the original Three Tenors! Dominique Visse, Andreas Scholl, Pascal Bertin: three distinctive and outstanding voices are showcased singing pieces they would not normally perform but which they obviously love. Most of the tracks are high-camp popular hits and as a bonus, Andreas Scholl sings his song 'White as Lilies', an hommage to Dowland - and he sings it here with his usual panache.

Arrangements by conductor Reinhardt Wagner.
