Tölzer Knabenchor


This is a boys choir from Bad Tölz near Munich in Germany. They do concerts all over the world and have such a different sound to choirs over here. They often do opera performances too and are just amazing. A bit like the Vienna Boys choir - they are more than one choir. They also wear a funny Bavarian costume as a choir uniform.




They have a really gutsy style of singing and you never see guys in that choir just mouthing the words like they dont really want to be there. They go all out for it!







Here is a bit from the Magic Flute where the three boys on the left are trying to persuade the boy (Pamina) on the right from committing suicide. They all sing with such passion and I think the teen on the left of the three is just fab...
