edwards21416: What in the world are you saying "white man's music"? There is high culture all over this world. Apparently you haven't been anywhere to hear great composers and musical performances. Our culture isn't being replaced, it is being added to. Finally, thanks to the Vienna Boys Choir for a great tradition.
I know this might weird but the thin kid who keeps blinking his eyes from 0:40-0:44 is good looking.What's his name?Has he ever been a soloist in the choir before?Now I think he looks a bit like Christian Bale when he was 12 or 13 in Empire of the Sun.Maybe it's because of their hair and facial structures. Maybe he'll grow up looking like Bale and Colin Farrell if you put them together;).Okay I know I'm sounding a bit strange but I was just sharing my opinion.
@Testosterontius it's the vienna boys choir! the best boys choir in the world (and most respected!!! ) how do you figure they have a problem with anything?
The voices are the best, but the version of this Christmas song is not the best.. it moves too fast after each "Still, still, still." I know that's probably the way it was originally written, but I prefer the longer held third "still" in each refrain! It's more dramatic, satisfying, and much more beautiful! I bet there's another good boy choir version somewhere with the longer note! GREAT voices here, though, obviously!
i wish there was a vienna girls choir man...i adore them. it's amazing how these boys can sing so high. but when they sing they look as if they're about to cry...they need to smile a little.
21.12.2006 "Christmas in Vienna"...Not all the performed songs were that good...But it helps that all the vienna boys sing together in the "main performances" of the year...(They are splitted into 4 touring groups...)
Still, nearly all prestigious german boys choirs today are better than the Vienna boys choir and that is sad development
@Jairdan No, what's sad is that you can't listen to a group of extremely talented and dedicated children singing absolutely beautiful music without trashing the whole experience by actually turning it into a "our choir is better than your choir" competition. How petty could you possibly be?
The singing of the Vienna Boys Choir is just not as good as it was a few decades ago...I actually enjoy all the old recordings of the 70's and 80's...But today they are just not in the Ivy League anymore. I value good choirs all over the world; England for example has extremely high standards, Oxford, Kings, Winchester, Canterbury. I still enjoy watching The St. Florianer Sängerknaben (Boys Choir) in Austria, so I am not biased or nationalistic...

I've loved this carol since I was a small child, and I first heard it sung by the Vienna Boys Choir. It brings joy to my heart every time I hear it.

First of all:
I know its really the wrong time to listen to christmassongs!
I think the version of this christmassong is not so bad, but like many other boy choirs they have a problem with the intonation.
