Vienna Boys' Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben) - Silk Road - DVD

Description

Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Curt Faudon brings to life a never before seen, intimate view of the Vienna Boys’ Choir, the most famous boys’ choir in the world. Being a combination between fly-on-the-wall documentary and cinematic elements this multi-layered feature film takes us on a journey around the world and even back into time, experiencing the boys’ nomadic lifestyle through their very own eyes. Interlaced with a tongue-in-cheek filmed collage we go back in time and witness the imperial choir singing at the Augsburg Reichstag in 1518 with Albrecht Dürer and Martin Luther present as well as acts in front of Napoleon III of France and Maria Theresa of Austria and other historical performances in the choir’s 510-year history, brought to lifeby rich costumes and state-of-the-art special effects.
