Loading, please wait...
The title of the album Angel Voices: The Boys' Choir Christmas Celebration would lead listeners to expect that they will be hearing a recital of music for boy's voices. It does feature several renowned boys' choirs, the Vienna Boys' Choir, Altenburger Sängerknaben, and Tölzer Knabenchor, but the majority of the three-disc collection is devoted to music written for mixed voices, sung by choirs in which boys take the soprano and alto parts. On most of the tracks, the boys' choirs are joined by a men's choir to fill in the lower parts for SATB works. The ensembles that are regularly made up of men and boys include Thomanerchor Leipzig (the choir of J.S. Bach's church), Dresdner Kreuzchor, and Regensburger Domspatzen. Of the set's 45 tracks, 12 are devoted to boys' voices alone. Regensburger Domspatzen, Dresdner Kreuzchor, and Thomanerchor Leipzig deliver the most consistently effective performances. The repertoire is weighted toward German and Austrian works from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras. © Stephen Eddins, Rovi
