The speaker is no one else that the great Alistair Cooke of "Letters from America"
an awesome performance recorded when the WSK was truly the best Boychoir in the world! it is sad that times have changed to the point that performances like this are no expected or treasure d like they were back the fifties
The choir has 4 concert choirs. Do you know the current choirs ? The members change and change and change...:)
My Father Gerhard Track conducting. I wasn't born yet, lol. Great footage! ❤
A stunning documentary ! Since 1955 I myself am a fan of the VBC...:)))
Since December 1954...:) The man at the beginning: "The choir is 450yo !" That was in 1948 ! Dear owner of the channel, change your title of that video please...
Thank you so much for making this historical footage available for viewing!
What a Treasure!
En ese año mis papas ni siquiera se conocían y este grupazo ya existía y he sido admirador de este grupo desde que los vi por primera vez en Torreón allá por 1980,s, buen video, gracias.
When all choristers were born in Austria.
At the top of my channel you can watch the "Brucknerchor" with a soloist born in New-Zealand - for example:..::)
This sounds like some Christmas music. I have similar recording from the Vienna Choir Boys at home. I look at the above criticisms. Not all of their music is sung allegro (fast). Some of their songs are sung in a slower tempo.
A awesome performance filmed when the WSK we're the ultimate boychoir in the universe. Thanks for sharing and how do I get a copy?!!!!!!
Does anyone know the name of this composition?
? The choir performes a lot of compostions....:) The first: "Es hat sich halt eröffnet das himmlische Tor!"
The verve is certainly there, but where is the FEEL???
Kudos pending.
