He has a beautiful voice , but had Panajotis Iconomou been available, wow, this would have been amazing. Actually, in the chorus views, I see Manfred Hohenleitner, who, a year later,in Mozart's Apollo et Hyacinthus, showed himself to be one of the Toelzers' greatest altos, in the choir. He probably wasn't quite ready for this.
This version is clearly more polished and well filmed version than the one of freddie jost. The video of Jost is clearly filmed live with lesser quality and the two can't be compared, really.
Also perhaps Jost had to substitute for another boy and was not given much notice? Lots of young soloists get their debuts that way.
I'm not saying one boy is better than the other, just giving some points for perspective. I like both videos.
I think most people rave about Jost's (freddie, I'm assuming) tone more than anything else. I prefer Jost's tone, but this boy is also very good, and has a pleasant, rich, tone. Though that long note at the beginnng did not stay in pitch :)
The two boys definately have different strengths and recent videos of Jost show much improved pitch.
In comparison to Jost this boy sings much more in tune. I can't understand the rave about Jost. Yes he's just young, but in my opinion should be out playing about and wait til his voice develops more before taking on a demanding piece. At least this boy shows some sign of maturity in his voice and his pitch stays maintained.

Supposedly some part of this was changed to become Belinda Carlisle's 80's song "Heaven is a Place on Earth."

This is by no means an easy aria to sing and it is performed well. I find it pleasing to my senior citizen ears.

Did you mean Jost or Rampf by "He has as beautiful voice"?
I agree that Panajotis Iconomou had a lovely voice. I was defiantely blown away the first time I saw an old video of him singing alto.
