Evang. Kinderkantorei Stuttgart
A total of 280 children sing in the Vaihinger Kantorei (Vaihingen Children’s and Youth Choir). It is divided into eight groups, including 80 children who sing in three pre-school children’s choirs. Except for the very small children (about 3 ½ years old), all of the groups frequently sing together with the Vaihinger Kantorei. The Kindergarten choirs are conducted by members of the Jugendkantorei – thus individual choral singing moves seamlessly to the conducting of a choral group. From Kinderchor II, 45 singers aged 9–13 sang on the present CD. The Vaihingen choirs are all conducted by Gabriele Timm-Bohm, assisted by Rainer Bohm as répétiteur, as well as by a church music apprentice. Personal details

Reviews
Was diese Box mit den drei CDs auszeichnet und so wertvoll macht, ist natürlich auch die Perfektion der wohl einstudierten Chöre. Aber mir als musikalischem Familienvater gefällt etwas anderes - und das ist selten geworden. Man hat nämlich die Kinderlieder Kinderlieder sein lassen.
