Boys Air Choir - In Paradisum (2004)

Boys Air Choir - In Paradisum (2004)

Founded in London in 1996, Boys Air Choir is comprised of seven members, aged eight to sixteen years old. Each vocalist is carefully chosen from the choirs of such Cathedrals as St. Paul's, Salisbury and Westminster. Each boy attends school full-time, so all recordings and promotional activities take place during summer and Easter vacations. In the summer of 1999, they performed to a sold out crowd at the Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall.
Conner Burrows is now choir master for the prestigious Boys Air Choir, made up of eight top treble choristers from St. Paul's, Salisbury and Westminster Cathedrals. This choir was formed to be "the best quality boy's choir in the world". Conner is the feature soloist on this album recorded while he was a member of this choir and still had his pure treble voice. His has been called "the greatest treble voice in this century" by critics in Japan and his native England. Quoting from the fold-out in the album "Like crystal, shining in the sun, like tears falling from your eyes - the voice of this boy will make you believe that life is forever". His "Pie Jesu" - tracts number 2 and 7 are all this and more. If you love treble voices, you will love this album.
