Alessandro Moreschi was the last Sistine Chapel castrato and the only one to make solo recordings. Italian castrati were trained to preserve high vocal ranges, peaking in the 17th–18th centuries. Moreschi joined the choir in 1883, recorded in 1902–1904, retired in 1913, and died in 1922. #DeathAtlas
