The use of boys' voices in the performance of the sacred works of Johann Sebastian Bach has not only historical reasons. Alois Mühlbacher was as a boys' soprano already an internationally recognized exception. His extraordinary boys' voice has been preserved in numerous recordings, not only in the field of Baroque music, but also in songs, where he performed works by Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss with a remarkable musical maturity. His transition to a different vocal world was, however, so gentle that he was able to carry much of the magic of his boys' voice with him: the moving, fragile quality, now combined with a newly acquired vocal perfection. In contrast to adult professional singers, choir boys have little time to develop a routine. As performers, they often experience the great masterworks from music history only once or a few times, so their interpretation always radiates the magic of the new and unique. Alois Mühlbacher, 28 years old at the time of this recording, has sung more concerts in his career so far than probably anyone of his age, but the spontaneity, curiosity and musical adventurousness of his youth have never been lost. This makes him probably an ideal interpreter of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Mühlbacher is assisted by the ensemble Pallidor, which was founded a few years ago by him and his mentor Franz Farnberger.
