"The Kreuzchor will soon again perform the Messiah" - perhaps with boy soloists ?

To take adult soloists and the orchestra (?) to Asia would be very expensive ?

The Toelzers last year in November (?) in Munich performed the oratorio with boy soloists but got some bad criticism:  One soloist was in the mutation of his voice (?) for example...

@Toelzerfanclever - no boy soloists i believe - the choir is performing with an professional orchestra and professional soloists. the tickets will be very expensive i guess

As far as I know, it wasn't usual to have Boy Soloist in this piece anyway.

Richtig schöne Bilderauswahl. Ich habe die CD auch *freu* und hatte auch schon überlegt den zweiten Titel zu posten...

Der Kreuzchor ist klanglich viel sanfter geworden :)

@Chrisy299 mindest das halleluja wollte ich eigentlich noch posten - mal schauen :)

Very musical performance. Thank you. Is it possible to not zoom in and out to change pictures?

[gmatar]

this chor is considered the best in the world especially with church music of the middle ages

[JenseninBrizo]

@Toelzerfanclever Yes. Becuase also, the intruments have to be transported with care as well etc.

@aquaria85 There are only 3 soprano solos btw in this piece.

What shall I say? An magnificent recording of one of my favourite pieces of music. Good luck for your next tours in Eastasia Dresdners!

Vielen Dank, aquaria, für dieses schöne Video! - Insbesondere für die Fotos, die einem einen kleinen Blick hinter die Kulissen erlauben! - Leider bekommen die Männer unseres Chores ihre Hemden nicht gewaschen und gebügelt. :-)
