Since yesterday you can watch it in the cinema, the new film by Arthur Cohn: "the chorus" (original title "Les Choristes"). After I saw him yesterday, I can only say: Great, watchable film that is somewhat reminiscent of the "Dead Poets Society" starring Robin Williams. But what is even more important, is the grandiose music of the film. The teacher Mathieu makes a motley crew as schwererziehbar classified children an impressive Knabenchor. This development you can follow not only with the eyes, you can hear them above all: Are the sounds at the beginning still wrong and inharmonious, so sounds "La Nuit", the children of Contesse audition, as argued by a years-trained group. The "Petits Chanteur de Saint-Marc", whose recordings can be heard in the film and on the CD that transform continuously sung in French songs in chorales, which are so beautiful and touching that you can listen to it for hours. A rest does the soloist Jean-Baptiste Maunier who has such a bell-clear voice that one can hardly believe it. The interplay between choir and soloist characterizes this CD, some spoken excerpts from the film are, such as the classification of children in vocal groups. When accompanied by often playing a piano, sometimes orchestral groups and solo instrumentalists. Playing tips: "Cerf Volant", "La Nuit" So, watch movie, buy the CD and a happiness that you rarely feel the intensity.
