Oh, my goodness! I recall this tune so well - grew up with this particular album - and this brings me back to some wonderful childhood Christmases! (I think this album is still the best collection of Weihnachtslieder by the Choir!) Thanks for the upload! Vielen Dank!
Ich besitze noch die Schallplatte, habe leider kein Abspielgerät mehr. Diese Wiederentdeckung hat mir grosse Freude gemacht. Gibt es auch CDs von diese wunderschönen Aufnahmen?
You're right.Vienna is indeed a very beautiful place and they've got the most amazing golden voices around in Europe.I wish I can go visit Prague,Berlin,Amsterdam,Munich,Salzburg,and Vienna.But since I live in Taiwan which is next to China I would probably visit Shanghai and Beijing for now.....In Taipei,it does tend to get a bit boring after a while cause it's too small and there's nothing really special about it "imho".
A bit late replying to gzztal but this information has just been posted on the WSK site and thought it might interest. The year was 1967; the soloist one Josef Ofenböck. Glückselig, du Hirtenschar, du warest bei der Herden. Die Geburt vor allen zwar dir musst verkündet werden. Blessed are you, shepherds, you were with the flock. The birth [of Christ] had to be announced to you before everyone else. It is a Christmas cantata about the shepherds in the field
Wooow, I had never seen this vid, the soloist is great, I know the recording is too old, but sounds amazing, sincerilly, since Cencic, there are not new great soloist, but they are still one of mi favorites. Thaks for posting this, is itself a jewel.
Love the Ken Burns effect! I wish the three "modern" hip photos were not included, but I am sure some people prefer these. The music, recorded in the glory years of the WSK, is beautiful. Thanks!
I have found old 78's in church faits of the Vienna phenomenon. It is the masters of music and the training they give the boys that keeps this wonderful tradition alive.
So beautiful

Lauft ihr Hirten allzugleich,
Was Neues werd' ihr heut sehen.
Die Nacht ist ganz freudenreich
Tut nur mit mir hingehen.
Im Kripplein dort
find't ihr den Ort
wo's Kindlein ist geboren.
Geht nur fein gschwind
euch nicht viel besinnt
Es sucht, was war verloren.
