Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf' ein

I have seen this same video several times on Classic Arts Showcase and they list it as being filmed in 1948.

[Rumiton]

Does anyone know the names of these singers and what they did in later life?

[2urchins]

Excellent recording. The second soloist is superb! Thank you for sharing.

[Gwynsek]

Awesome, ganz toll !

[alteExzellenz]

Ich hab noch eine kleine Schallplatte, 33u/min eine der älteren Nachkriegsproduktionen, eine Weihnachtsplatte u. a. mit dem Bielefelder Kinderchor. Himmlisch wenn der Sopran über den Chor hinweg steigt. Es ist ein wundervolles Lied.

The dark-haired boy soloist on the right was in the movie "Cabaret" singing in the scene "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" (he must have been about 20 years old by then) but you can easily tell it's him ... don't know what his name is, though ...

[Rumiton]

@petekurt That's interesting, but are you sure? They don't look too similar to me.

[Pagrada]

This is some of the most beautiful singing I have ever heard!! Bone chilling and emotional.

[ASBACH63]

Magnifique mélodie - magistralement interprétée par deux excellents solistes.

On retrouve le jeune alto dans le choral de BACH: Oh! Jesulein süss....

[FriendBR1]

Mein Grossvater hatte dieses Lied ,auf der original Schallplatte der Wienersaenger Knaben.

Es wieder hoeren zu duerfen, gibt mir Gaenzehaut ,bei diesen Aengelsstimmen !

[FriendBR1]

Meu avo tinha exatamente esta cancao em um LP original de epoca.Que bom poder recordar .....com esta dvina cançao ,na voz de dois anjos !

[svjatazarov]

I used to sing it myself, not bad!

[Vinbrugh]

I bought this very recording when I was a teenager and it always made me cry.....still does some 40 years on!

[zeldafreak11880007]

[zeldafreak11880007]

1:17 sehr schöne Stimme

[bendmymind]

the blond boy in the middle gives me chills when he hits those highest notes.. and of course the rest are awesome too. love this one.

[ifuliki]

Awesome is an overworked word but for this it applies in spades..

[loupblanc26]

magnifique prestation...

[4swetlana4]

Eine der Lieder bei denen ich jedesmal heulen muss.So schön ist es.

Es sind Erinnerungen an schöne Zeiten

[zeldafreak11880007]

[wolfi31281]

[sascha1984dd]

[Berlinboy999]

@ sascha1984dd, da kann ich dir nur zustimmen, glasklare stimmen--einfach nur hammergeil.und das lied wurde zum glück erfunden, was für ein jahrhundertlied.

[Berlinboy999]

einfach nur schön, begnadete stimmen

[Berlinboy999]

eine ältere aufnahme, aber begnadete stimmen.

[oakdryad]

Sweet dreams guaranteed, if you listen to this just before bedtime!

[orion8352]

Who is the composer of this song?

W.A. Mozart or Bernard Fliess?

[Dracowsk]

Mozart

[kawaiimiffy]

Although it is called "Wiegenlied by Mozart", B. Flies is considered as the composer nowadays.

[orion8352]

Thank you for your answer.

[BERTIO5]

A most valuable boysinging "archive" ! Thanks for posting !

[maestrovoci]

Can you say "Milli-Vanilli"? They're lip synching. That does not make the sound bad, oh no! This is great singing. And the lip synchers might well be the boys who actually recorded the song. See boy on right at 2:48.

[kawaiimiffy]

The boys in the video were members of WSK in 1964, the song was originally recoerded possibly in 50s, and the video was filmed in 1964. Yes, it is lip synching. Thank you for pointing out. But it is beautiful to watch them together though.

[orion8352]

O this is beautiful.Thank you for sharing.

This are the real WSK.
