Info:
L'Or des Anges affords us an insight into the history and world of boys' choirs in Europe and the use of the treble voice in the music from a view of a chorister. L'Or des Anges was produced under participation of five famous choirs, the Knabenchor Hannover, Les Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois, Polskie Slowiki, the Wiener Sängerknaben, and the Worcester Cathedral Choir.
Rejoice is a documentary of the 7th international Boys' Choir Festival in Poznan.
Un peu de Fièvre, Philippe Reypens newest film tells in a sensitive way what a break the voice change can mean to the live of a boy chorister.
Alexander, aged 22, is a student at the music academy and has just finished his last cello rehearsal before the final exam. His play having become somewhat mechanical and in order to put some soul into the music, his teacher leads the young man to look back on the reasons for his choice of instrument. His memory reverts to a specific day of his youth when he gave his last concert as a little singer, just before his soprano voice broke for ever and with it his native instrument.
The musical instrument, is it not in fact an attempt by man to find anew the lost voice of his youth, like an imitation of the human voice?
The Bonus Material includes among other things a Making Of L'Or des Anges and a photo gallery with pictures by Martin Santander which were taken during the production of the films.
Note: For playback of this DVD you need a NTSC compatible player.
