If there are any recordings, I have NOT made it a point to find them.
It's horrendous: uncontrolled vibrato, voice stick-outs, attack tuning which is (at best) bad, multiple vowel pronunciations (all at the same time) and not all that good a sense of rhythm.
You still want to find a recording?

You still want to find a recording? Only as a matter of morbid curiosity. Maybe I can go on Amazon and listen to sound samples for free . . . that should be enough!
I do have a recording of the last castrato to sing in the Vatican choir. Very peculiar sounding voice, to put it mildly.

Any thoughts on the Amici Cantores (sp?) from Milan?
