I agree! Bach was, IMO, the master of drama in music, although it's interesting that he never wrote an opera. As for your comment, it would be unfortunate if anyone singing in such a masterpiece would remain unmoved!
These kids are so unbelievably well trained in Bach. They nearly dance! Only a top Conductor coach can get them this far . I play Bach for nearly 70 years now. Never heard or see something like this. Bravo!
Almost four decades ago, the choir from Indiana University, directed by Donald Neuen, performed in tour the Bach's St Matthew's Passion in a very similar way... astonishing!

Stumbled on this video tonight. Quite overwhelming singing, tremendous verve and energy, focus and concentration. Moved me to tears! Thank you so much from New York and I hope to come see and hear you all sing one day soon!
First: greetings from Belgium. Second: I discoved this choir some years ago and it went straight to my top five of boys choirs. They make Bach sound so clear and light... I love this performance.
There simply aren't enough superlatives to accurately describe just how good the Windbacher Knabenchor is. Marvelous, stupendous, outstanding, außgezeichnet, und fantastisch are few that come to mind.
There is definetely a unique timbre which can only be produced by boy trebles. It would beca pity if that was totally sacrificed on the alter of political correctness.
Extraordinarily well done ; the rhythmic line is of an absolute beauty, and give this sublime piece his very sacred character. Not to slow, not to precipitate, so we can catch all the magnificence in each note. Thousands of BRAVO. THIS CHIEF IS A GENIUS !
Wenn man diese Knaben hört und sieht mit welch einem Engagement und freudigem Einsatz sie dieses wunderschöne Werk Bachs singen, dann kann man vertrauen, dass die Welt nicht verloren ist und in Deutschland der wahre Geist lebendig geblieben ist. Ein grosser Trost geht von diesem Konzert aus. Danke 🙏
The horrific beauty is born. Out of primordial chaos grow the sounds that tear the ears, soul and mind. There is nothing to compare the cathedral of this chorus.
Die schreckliche Sehe des Abysmus der Golgotha richtig am Anfang des Passiones. Der mächtige Schrei der ganze Menschheit zu Gott. Etwas ähnliches zu ein gewaltiger "Warum?". Tiefmal Berührend.
The UA-cam algorithm does something right for me every once in awhile. Oh my! These young men sing with such precision, intonation, enthusiasm - young professionals everyone! Amazing and beautiful this rendition brought me to shivering ecstatic goosebumps on the back of my neck and spine!
Epoustouflante cette interprétation qui est soutenue et magnifiée par les expressions des choristes, passionnées et habitées par le texte et cette musique sacrée ! Du jamais vu !
This might be the greatest choral performance ive ever came across. These kids have my utmost respect for the passion and love they pour into that performance.
They are good, and their enthusiasm is heartening. But when all is said and done, amateur is amateur and professionals are on another level. Compare: ua-cam.com/video/FyeOPfg_6FE/v-deo.html
best performance I know (of many I heard) of this section of The Passion. It is a mysterious piece; singular in Bach's output, and unique in all of music; one is allowed to imagine the agony of the Saviour of Humankind, betrayed and crucified.
Beeindruckend und berührend...diese Leidenschaft, Klarheit und Transparenz. Diese Aufnahme ist mitreißend und selten so perfekt gehört Nein, in dieser Perfektion habe ich den Eingangschor noch nie gehört! Tempo, Rhythmik, die Stimmen...ich bin restlos begeistert
I believe that moving of the body gives a positive effect on the sound. Pianissimo and forte never had been better audible for me. Complete standstil is not good for breathing. ( My ten cents)
What a pleasure not only to watch but to listen to this excellent choir. Their enthusiasm is infectious. Their obvious enjoyment in performing this work is so very evident.
Prekrasno, zadivljujuće! Zbor je ujedno vježba samokontrole i usklđivanja sa drugima, što je inače nužno u životu! Neposredna nagrada je uživanje u umjetnosti i druženju sa sebi sličnima.
This is such an inspirational performance with true excellent in musicality, articulation and passion. Such a balanced choir with strong singing in all voices. The choristers give all of themselves into this intense interpretation and Ludwig Böhme is a truly superb conductor. It’s one of the best performances and interpretations of the Johannes Passion I have ever heard. I’m in awe at the nuances in dynamics and emotion which are conveyed ! What a tribute to J.S. Bach !
Eine äußerst berührende Umsetzung der herrlichen Einleitung der Johannespassion von dem großen J.S.BACH. Sehr gelungen! Großartig und man genießt jeden Ton!
Man spürt, wie mitgerissen die Jungs sind, wie sie wippen, sich strecken, wogen, Luft wuchten. Wer so in der Musik versinken kann, hat sie verstanden. Wer die Sänger zu dieser befreiten Art zu singen motiviert, ist ein Meister, der diesen Jungs für's Leben begreiflich gemacht hat, was Musik im Körper bedeutet. Nur stehen und singen ohne Bewegung ist nur Absolvieren. Singen und Mitgehen ist Eintauchen und Verinnerlichen. Mein Kompliment und tiefer Dank für dieses Erlebnis!
Oh my, how glorious! Very very impressive choir and orchestra, but oh, the voices just heavenly! Thank you for sharing! Blessed Easter season to Windsbacher Knabenchor!

I marvel at the number of high quality Boys choirs that Germany and Austria have and have seen videos by this choir on many occasions but know very little about them. Bach is the staple diet of all of them, but this short extract is, to my untrained ears at least, right up with any other performances. I need to find out more about the choir. Thank you for the question about the whole concert and the answer, I look forward to watching it all.

There are more than 80 boys'choirs in German speaking Europe, and many of them of the highest calibre. We in North America are rather backward in that respect.
Majestic music, J. S. Bach would be blown away. Huge respect for this amount of musical talent, work and enthusiasm. Intense, beautiful, superb performance. Thank you all for that. 🧡🙏🏻
Wie immer sehr schön. Im direkten Vergleich bevorzuge ich zwar den Eingangschor der Matthäus-Passion, aber auch dieses Stück gehört mit zu den besten. Und dann auch noch mit zeitgenössischen Instrumenten...
Nice. Our college choir sang the St. John Passion during Lent of 1973. I was 19. I accompanied rehearsals on the piano, but we sang it with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.
Wow. Superb. Magnificent. Will listen to this Knabenchor from now on at every opportunity. Their conductor is brilliant, as we see and hear just what he elicits from this choir of bright-eyed young men. Thank you. 🙏
No voy a estar la preposición "pero"... Me encanta cómo pronuncia muy bien el alemán y las voces blancas de éste coro masculino se escuchan las 4 voces de este impresionante y mítico coro de introducción al oratorio sacro, lamentablemente se desconoce el poeta de la letra de las arias y corales, Bach supo ponerte tremenda música. Gracias por subir y compartir éste vídeo en UA-cam. ❤😊
I always think of it as some kind of miracle to get young men and boys to sing at any level. Bach must have had a resource of such singers to perform a new Cantata each Sunday. I’m assuming they were young men and boys such as this remarkable choir. BRAVO!
Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig. Auf den Punkt. Exakt! Jede Linie stimmt. Leidenschaftlich, aber nicht gekünstelt, sondern natürlich. Bin kritisch! Sehr kritisch! Aber hier: Absolut berührend! Danke 🎵
Berührend ! Ob Leipziger oberen wissen, was sie taten als sie Ludwig Böhme gingen ließen? Wunderbar diesen Chor mit seinem neuen Dirigenten in dieser Harmonie und Hingabe an diese wunderbare Musik zu erleben. Hoffentlich schauen sie manchmal in Leipzig vorbei um uns hier wie im ersten Bachfest nach seiner dirigententätigkeit zu berühren. Ansonsten bleibt ja das ansbacher Bachfest. Danke für diese wunderbare Aufführung, die das Herz berührt

Probably the most striking aspect is the sheer enthusiasm for Bach's music which shows in the body and facial expressions of the entire choir.

Yes, but there's fast and too fast. This is definitely TOO.
But like all boys choir EVERYWHERE, they lack "warmth". Its all regimented and dry.
Exactly, you are absolutely right

It's a pity however we do not see very much on youtube lately about the other great choirs like Tölzer, Thomaner or Florianer.
