+Ndeh Stanley He's such a badass he made a duet with himself.

Very funny, Clark Kent :D, LoL.The singing is wonderful.

+Bryan AbrizAnd I respect yours. I'm sure that like for many things the truth is between.There is already a problem of definition of whats is really a falsetto as this definition has largely varied.With a tenor or baritone, falsetto is easy to recognize. The high pitch sound becomes simpler with no overtones.Everybody can use falsetto for example when you're trying to imitate a woman's voice.For great countertenors the fullness, strength, and quality show that they are using a full range soprano voice of at least 1 1/2 octave. To get that you need  a physiological disposition for at least mezzo soprano head voice, and lots of work with a big shovel of gift.Scholl sounds often like an outstanding soprano boy.Jaroussky sounds more feminine. Often in duos with sopranos women it's very hard to identify each voice.Listen, without looking at the video, to the duos with the soprano Rial of Monteverdi's songs and arias...you'll be very surprised. Not a hint of falsetto, two true feminine voices.Scholl has made duos with Jaroussky and the  two voices are perfectly recognizable. But again not a hint of the thinness of the falsetto. The voices are full and round.If you search in You tube you'll recognize immediately the less gifted countertenors as they sound falsetto. The sound is thinner, simpler, flute like. That does not mean they are bad, that means simply they are more haute-contre in the Renaissance style, and have not the physical possibility to reach the level of the best. But they remain very interesting with beautiful renditions.

+Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon i have plenty sources that say he uses falsetto. they may not be reliable but there are many that say the same thing but i will glady respect your opinion.

+Bryan Abriz If you want as you like. It's not a problem and not worth a discussion for me. I'm not a proselyte, nor a pedagogue.A semantic precision; to believe is for acts of faith, like religion, metaphysics, philosophy, or on subjects you have not enough knowledge or data. in this last case you are simply hypothetical.That means you are just emitting an opinion without being enough documented to be affirmative. The best is to look for solid documentation from qualified people and so to be sure on the fact.As Mr Jaroussky is a top notch countertenor, and a consummated singing technician and musician, I have the strong suspicion he knows how he sings...

+Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon i believe they still use falsetto

+Bryan Abriz Scholl uses a very subtle head voice.Falsetto is very common in male choirs, and gives the flute like sound in the alto register and it's totally distinct sound compared to a good countertenor.If he was using a falsetto like a tenor going to the alto (very used in Mexican song, Miguel Aceves Mejias was renowned for that) he would be unable to get his very own quality of sound with the richness of the overtones and fullness.I think that the best way is to know what thinks Mr Scholl himself as he knows excatly whar technic he is using..Probably it's a mix, none technique singing is 100% "pure" as it will be too limited in range.Mr Jaroussky has declared in a interview a few years ago that he used head voice, and explained that with falsetto the sound is too thin, lacking .of modulation and expressiveness. That let me think that a physiological predisposition is needed.The trills and ornaments of Baroque music must be very hard to make in falsetto...And the very good countertenor (it's different of haute-contre) do not sound as falsetto.It's little matter, in fact, it0s better to enjoy the fantastic ability of these countertenors.  

+Pablo Ricardo de Tarragon they do use falsetto

+Morando No Canada Living in Canada It's not falsetto (a very different technique used often by a tenor for high notes) it's a countertenor. And very few can sing countertenor as Mr Scholl. Listen also to Mr Jarousski. Full and strong soprano voices.

Sorry for typo, should read "rendition".
