    an awesome performance recorded when the WSK was truly the best Boychoir in the world! it is sad that times have changed to the point that performances like this are no expected or treasure d like they were back the fifties

      Since December 1954...:) The man at the beginning: "The choir is 450yo !" That was in 1948 ! Dear owner of the channel, change your title of that video please...

    En ese año mis papas ni siquiera se conocían y este grupazo ya existía y he sido admirador de este grupo desde que los vi por primera vez en Torreón allá por 1980,s, buen video, gracias.

    This sounds like some Christmas music. I have similar recording from the Vienna Choir Boys at home. I look at the above criticisms. Not all of their music is sung allegro (fast). Some of their songs are sung in a slower tempo.

      At the top of my channel you can watch the "Brucknerchor" with a soloist born in New-Zealand - for example:..::)
