How many people here find Moreschi's singing and voice, as recorded, to be beautiful?

From what I remember, it is a strange, even undeveloped sound, not like the countertenors of today. The style is similar to other singers who recorded at the beginning of the 1900's. But one shouldn't be prejudiced by common practice a century later.
