Since 1978, Karl-Friedrich Beringer has been conducting the Windsbacher Knabenchor – not only one of the most outstanding boys\u2019 choirs in the world, but also an unparalleled success story. That the Windsbacher Knabenchor these days enjoys such widespread acclaim is due largely to Beringer, who over the years has nurtured the choir, and elicited from it precisely that unmistakably brilliant and pristine sound for which it is now so highly esteemed. To mark this silver jubilee, Rondeau Production has issued an impressive Anniversary Edition, containing six high-calibre productions from its catalogue together with an extensive booklet, all packaged in an exclusive box set. Included in the set is a bonus CD featuring the choir\u2019s very first recording of motets with Beringer in 1979. This is the first time these motets have been released on CD, the original LP having been sold out many years ago. The bonus CD contains various works from the a-cappella repertoire, including Bruckner\u2019s \u201cLocus iste\u201d and modern classics by Kod\u00e1ly, Kaminski and Pepping. These early recordings, which almost merit the epithet \u201chistorical,\u201d also provide an interesting point of reference for comparisons with the choir\u2019s more recent recordings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
