Bruckner- Inveni David * Trad. - These faithful German Christmas classics Christmas is traditionally the holiday of the year in Germany. And that's where the most beautiful music has always been. The Windsbacher Knabenchor performs a wide repertoire dating back to the sixteenth century. Polyphonic pieces by Eccard, folk songs, Gruber's famous Silent Night: all conjure up the Christmas child. But the choir also makes trips to among more Benjamin Britten. With Lux Aurumque, the Knabenchor brings Eric Whitacre's famous YouTube choir project to life. Windsbacher Knabenchor About seventy voices ringing like bells, that's the Windsbacher Knabenchor. Small and slightly larger boys living, learning and especially singing in a Bavarian music boarding school. Every year they travel the world to the big concert halls. This time, the Windsbacher Knabenchor is bolstered by the Modern Slide Quartet. Atmospheric carols with a warm copper accent. Recorded: 20 December 2015 at the Concert Building in Amsterdam, during the Sunday Evening Concert.
