A sopranist is a male singer who sings in the soprano vocal range; a [countertenor] who sings higher than the typical alto range.
There is a large body of music for male soprano written when it was common to use a [castrato] - a voice type which, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists. Sopranists are very rare, since most countertenors are [altos].
