Choirboys From Heaven
Label: WARNER CLASSICS (EMI) Catalog: 5099964044323 Format: CD The Boys of King's College, Cambridge / Choir of King's College, Cambridge / The American Boychoir / Southend Boys' Choir / Libera / The Vienna Boys' ChoirThis 2-CD set contains an extremely wide range of music for boys' choirs, from the early polyphony of Allegri's Misere to the present-day popular songs of Prince and Enya. Also included are some interesting works by some great 20th-century composers such as Copland, Britten and Ned Rorem. The featured choirs are some of the world's most notable boys' choirs, from the Vienna Boys' Choir and the American Boychoir to, perhaps the best-known of them all, the Choir of King's College, Cambridge. The most recent of the choirs here is Libera, formed by their conductor, Robert Prizeman, from school boys from around south London. So, for those who already find the freshness and youthfulness of boys' voices uniquely appealing here is the perfect compilation. For those who have yet to make the discovery this set should prove a delightful musical journey. Price: $21.98 |
