BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Tolzer Knabenchor is a German boys' choir, 1956 founded in the Bavarian town of Bad Tolz and, since 1970, based in Munich.
In the realm of baroque music in particular, the "Tolzer" made a significant contribution to the change in musical (historically informed) performance practice. Moreover, Tolz boys were entrusted with the boy solo parts at Europe's leading opera houses. The choir is in great demand in oratorios and symphonic works performed by renowned orchestras and famous conductors. Eminent artists such as Carl Orff, August Everding, Hans Werner Henze, Leonard Bernstein, Gustav Leonhardt, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and Claudio Abbado count among the choir's supporters. Herbert von Karajan once referred to the Tolzer as "one of the best choirs in the world" and, whenever a boys' choir required, he engaged the choir for his performances and recordings with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Salzburg Festival.
The Tolzer Boys have travelled throughout Europe as well as to the US and Asia. The choir has recorded more than one hundred LPs and CDs (on Deutsche Grammophon, EMI Classics, Sony Classical, Teldec, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, among others), many of which received or have been nominated for prestigious awards including Deutscher Schallplattenpreis, Echo Klassik, Choc du monde de la musique, and a Grammy nomination.
The repertoire covers vocal music from the medieval to the modern, folk music, madrigals and motets, church music from the baroque to the classical, solo roles and opera for children's choirs. Members of the choir have played the "Three boys" in Mozart's Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) in numerous productions.
