Thank a lot for posting! I wonder, who is the childrens choir. Maybe Gewandhaus Kinderchor, or MDR Kinderchor or the Kinderchor of the Opera Leipzig ...

@aquaria85 It's the Gewandhaus Kinder- und Jugendchor

[Branchporter]

@aquaria85 - The choir is Thomanerchor, or Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys, in Leipzig, Germany. The performance is at Saint. Thomas Luthern Church, where Bach worked as a cantor. The recording was not done recently, as the video does not show remodeling of the church which was finished in 2000..

@Branchporter of course, yes, but aquaria and I were talking about the girls choir at the back (Gewandhaus children/youth choir)

In these days of world economic turmoil, corruption, war and hunger there is not much dignity left. For seven and a half minutes one can put aside and forget all those worries and revel in the absolute supremacy that Johann Bach brought to the world in this music - the St. Matthew Passion. The choirs ( all 3 of them) here do a superb job, as does the orchestra and Conductor. The boys of the Thomanerchor are astounding in the dedication and passion. Thanks so much for this music of the stars.

Bach is the second man sended by God!

I do not think there is a DVD with the integral version of St Matheus Passion recorded by Thomaner. The only have recorded in video the Opening ? I know they are recording a documentary for the 800 years of the Choir...but anybody know if they will release also the Passion on DVD? I guess it is a must!

A little slow and pizzicato-ish

[arsnio7]

wonderful version!!! The choir and the Kantor are amazing

This oratorio needs the timbre and color of boys' voices, and this choir delivers perfection. The director executes with such energy and precision.

Omg. Da ist Harry Potter im Sopran 1^^

Kleiner Spaß; sehr disziplinierter und talentierter Chor! Exzellente Artikulation und gute Höhen. Die Thomaner setzen echte Standarts für alle Knabenchöre Deutschlands.

@aquaria85 Naja, ich habe Insiderinformationen (kenne einige, die bei der Aufnahme mitsangen) und habe gehört, es seien die Chorbuben aber vielleicht hast du ja auch Recht, ich muss noch mal nachfragen.
