Listen to Arturo Escorza singing the alto aria 'Pallido in sole' in full voice (and then compare it with his falsetto version). He's a very high tenor. Also the tenor altino Rodrigo del Pozo can sing alto repertoire in full voice (Buxtehude's 'Jubilate Domino' for example - not on Youtube)

Go to the German wikipedia , type in "Rinaldo", select the Handel opera, right on the bottom there's the weblink to the scores.

Indeed Thrax1982. Good to read a competent comment from time to time.... with his NORMAL voice, no falsetto and above all the singer not being castrated!

what's a "real countertenor|"every one I have heard sounds to me like they are singing using a resinforced falsetto sound,apart from Radu Marian, who is said to be an endrochrinological castrato. No man with a normal speaking voice can sing countertenor range without using a falsetto mechanism, but there's nothing wrong with that, maybe we should not call it "falsetto"-- that sounds pejorative - and rather "light head voice"or soemthing?

i like the staging...i just don't understand it. i think i need to by rinaldo...because all the excerpts i've heard from it...i've liked. i'm a handel fan anyhow.

This is one of Munich's typical shit productions... A disaster I agree - just close your eyes and listen !!
