Founded in 1982, the Boni pueri Czech Boys' Choir has come to rank alongside the Czech Republic's leading music ensembles. The 350-strong choir has to its credit over 1,500 independent concert appearances all over Europe and in the US and Japan. There are 17 songs in this finely-crafted collection, with some light organ accompaniment. Some favorites: Orlando di Lasso's "O la o che bon echo," Cesar Franck's "Panis angelicus," Handel's "Hallelujah," from the "Messiah," Dvorak's "Goin' Home," the traditional Argentinian tune "Buenos Aires no fuera asi," the Zulu spiritual "Siyahamba," and the final cut, "Broadway Medley," which features "Chatanooga Choo-Choo," "Hello Dolly," "Over the Rainbow," "I Got Rhythm" and "Somewhere, America." The Czech Boys' Choir has a beautiful, full sound, and their youthful spirit and love of singing makes "Boni Pueri" special in many ways. Enjoy! |
