    What strikes me is Cai's facial expression when he is singing this beautiful piece of music.His face stays totallty relaxed! Not a single sign of facial muscular distortion! His singing sounds completely natural. This is rare indeed: a young boy who has developed a perfect singing technique. Cai, you are a super talent indeed :-) No matter how much your permanent singing voice will sound later in life : your singing technique will never leave you . Lucky boy :-) xx

    absolutely exceptional - not just the purity of tone, but his clear ability to "feel" and understand the song, "from the inside" which some boy sopranos lack.

      You are right. Aksel Rykkvin was super for that too. You could just see it on his facial expression and intonations. He is now a superb baryton.

    What a contrast between Cai's crystal treble and now rich baritone! We are so fortunate -- both that he recorded "Seren" as a boy for us to treasure his young voice (I listen to it regularly), and, that his developing voice as a young man can still move the heart. Thank you, Cai!

    A very beautiful voice and a very beautiful performance! I was absolutely over the moon when you very tastefully ornamented the repeat as is stylistically correct and necessary. I could do with more volume in the lower register, but perhaps that is a miking issue. Just keep singing! Such a pity that your career comes during this lockdown time, preventing more people from hearing you live...perhaps your soprano voice will last on long enough for concerts to resume. Good luck and keep singing and keep ornamenting!

      Nonsense! Cai Thomas sings this even more beautifully than Aksel Rykkvin did, and there is nothing inappropriate about it.
      What is inappropriate for young boys (and girls) to be singing is arrangements of, for example, "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran, and other (much more suggestive) popular songs, which many school choir directors these days are getting their kids to sing, to try and make the choir feel "modern and relevant ". Utterly despicable.
