The beautiful aria with that divine voice of Elias Mädler starts at 2:04.

This is so true. I went back to watch instead of listen and I could see his breath. The musicians' union should have kicked up a fuss about that. Elias is alright but when fingers get cold I can imagine how that affects playing.

Have you heard the version by the Vienna Boy's Choir? It's another great rendition of this wonderful song, which was recorded in 1967. The soloist, is magnificent, too! I highly recommend, suggest you search for it on YT. Let me know what you think, when you have found it and listened to it! It is the complete version, it does not cut the end of the song like this version did! 👍🙂

“Come Run, Ye Shepherds” Choir: Come run, ye shepherds! The star is shining, the gates of Bethlehem high are lifted. Make haste to enter, and find the stable, and kneel down and worship the newborn King. Come play your pipe, come play your drum; Make merry and dance the way along. For Christ is born, yes, Christ is born, Yes, Jesus, our Savior, is born. Sing Noel! Sing Noel! The prophets wrote, the sages spoke of this night of wonder, this night of joy; Come join our hearts, come join our voices in praise of Him, the newborn King

When the Toelzers still were world class.....:).

Well said.

@@maync1 Lets pray that they will come back after this horrible period. Together with the Thomaner they are on my top list.

What other civilization could produce such art ? Beautiful beyond words,,,,,,,,

Mark Page u? What do you mean?

@@markpage9397, yes, they all must have had cold fingers, hands. You could see the soloist's breath when he was singing.

santiago 66 Indeed, Elias certainly seems a mezzo in this recording. Similarly so in the St Mattews passion which I think was recorded a bit later.

ZSK/Tölzer OPA FAN . Sehr shön. Prima musiek.

Hallo mein Freund, fährst Du auch wieder zum nächsten Festival im Mai ?

Die Tölzer werden im März in der Elbphilharmonie ein Bach-Konzert geben. Auf die Rezension bin ich gespannt.

Yes they do.

@@francesbailess942 Do they? in more than 30 years of visiting most of the UK cathedrals for Evensong, concerts and listening to BBC broadcasts of Choral Evensong, until I found this on YT, it was the first time I had ever heard it. Have since found another, slightly longer version by an equally talented Boys choir from Luxembourg perform it. However, you must have experienced this by one of our superb choirs and I sincerely hope I shall be as fortunate.

@@francesbailess942 which choir had sung this? Im familiar with anglican/english choir music, but this is also new for me, I love this piece.

Bravo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇩🇪

Nein, die letzte Veröffentlichung auf dem offiziellen channel des TKC ist schon lange wieder "überholt".

There is no heating in such big old churches. ;)

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r8l-iKiJvLTef5s.html This seems to be a more complete version (without video) of the Benediktbeuren performance

@@davidgladwell3317 Thank you. Yes, I am familiar with the recording by the Augsburger Domsingknaben. It is complete, but certainly does not match up to the one above by the Tölzer Knabenchor.

Winderbar .....

Hin Lee No, his name Elias Mädler from the TKC

what a beutifull voice.
