The Vienna Boys Choir was a lovely evening. Voices angelic,. Boys looked like boys anywhere, shifting & restless & nudging each other. Much preferred classical music to their renditions of modern works. Yes, we go again!
They were delightful. They could do it all, from classical to pop, from vocal to instrumental. A real treat.
The performance by the Vienna Boys Choir at Atlanta Symphony Hall was disappointing on several levels. First, due to the limited size of the 22 person choir, the vocals were swallowed up in the large hall in which they performed. We had no idea that when we bought the $69 tickets that the 100 boy choir had been split into four touring choirs. Thus, the mass/size of the choir was inadequate. My first thought is that they are more concerned about making money than quality of their performance by splitting the choir. Secondly, while some of the boys had good voices, several seemed very timid and at times did not even sing. It came across like a child who had been forced by his parents to be in a children's church choir against their will. Lastly, I took my 79 year old mother to the concert as she had always wanted to see the VBC. She is an accomplished musician and vocalist having studied and majored in music theory and voice. It was very disappointing to know that she did not enjoy the concert and felt it was a huge let down.
What a wonderful show! We left feeling uplifted and smiling at the memory of the boys singing choir classics and more contemporary music (include some gospel and pop songs). Go!
The music was very good, good choice of song titles, loved the encore.
Very enjoyable show. The singing was fantastic and the choir master played the piano wonderfully. The staging and lighting was lacking.
enjoyed it very much, had a very good variety, these boys are amazing
I missed the Choir Boys when we were in Vienna in the 70's and was happy to get to see them here; however I expected a larger group. For 24 boys they did a fantastic job and the conductor/pianist was great.
The young men were excellent! The purest sound you can hear and the pleasing joy they bring to the heart.
The intelligence, discipline and artistry of these young boys is truly amazing.
Could not hear the voices from the second level. Poor acoustics.
The repertoire was delightful, the voices were so pure, and the show was very entertaining!
I was very disappointed that it was only 22 members of the choir. This was my first time seeing them and I wanted the full experience. I do not remember any mention in the material before I bought my tickets that it was only a small part of the choir. I bought the cheap seats and because the theater was so empty I was moved down to a much more expensive seat. That was good. The boys were wonderful and I cannot imagine what the full choir would sound like. They should be very proud of themselves.
Have always like the boy's choir sound and was delighted to finally see them in person. They did a beautiful job and it was a wonderful evening. What will probably stand out however as most memorable was a couple of boys in the front row, elbowing each other for position during their singing.....pretty much throughout the evening! I'd recommend the concert to anyone! It's amazing all the music they know from memory and there were definitely some very talented young men!
The Vienna Boys' Choir is amazing! They are impeccable singers, and they are a good blend of serious quality and fun! They sing more "traditional" songs (church music, classical music, etc), and also in this concert they did a few Billy Joel songs and had a surprise at the end! It's fun to see such young kids (in such an awkward stage of their lives) doing something really incredible. A great opportunity that I would highly recommend.
It was a wonderful show performed by the Haydnchor group of the Vienna Boy's Choir. The group was a bit smaller than I expected (22 boys), no symphony, just their choirmaster conducting and playing the piano as accompaniment. However, they sang a wonder collection of Medieval Imperial Church music, Baroque, Contemporary and also a collection of Vienna's folk music. I would see them again if they ever visit San Diego in the future.
We saw the Vienna Boys' Choir at Mass on Christmas Day in Vienna last year. They were amazing! It was great to see them again right here in San Diego. Even our eight-year-year old daughter loved it! The Billy Joel songs were quite a treat in addition to all of the other Vienna-themed composers past and present.
The kids were amazing, especially considering they really are just young kids. Clear, beautiful, blended tones. I liked the fact that they had some soloists, kids as muscians, and featured singers. They added a needed variety to the performance. I kept wishing I could hear them inside of a cathedral rather than in Flint Center--not a complaint--just thinking about how great the sound would be in a cathedral. I'll look forward to that on a trip to Europe. In the meantime, I felt very fortunate to experience the accomplishments of these young boys and men.
I took my dad to see this group live because he has always bought the DVD's. The group is extremely talented! There were even moments of humor on stage! My dad had the time of his life. I would definitely recommend this event.
so-so performance. been waiting to watch them for years and when i finally did, disappointed. noisy audience.
