Half the angels in heaven resigned in protest

"En Concert displays the depth and breadth of this talented group of youngsters, who gained fame in the Les Choristes film. Although the live concert is not as polished as the recording studio version of pieces from "Le Choristes" (the movie) which appear here, there is a audio presence and energy in the concert hall that the studio version lacks. Jean Baptiste Maunier, one of the stars and the soloist in the movie, shines in a number of the choral pieces here. But nothing, absolutely nothing can prepare you for the power of his rendering of Pueri Concinite in this CD. I've listened to it literally hundreds of times and yet it can still move me to tears; it will touch your soul. Jean Baptiste Maunier's voice was a miracle and he hits notes here that are ethereal. This recording of Pueri Concinite is transcendant and this was arguably among the five greatest minutes of choral history. Buy the CD."

"The beutiful voices of the boys choir from the movie "Les Choristes" make this album of selections from the movie, as well as non-movie choral performances, an enjoyable listening experience."

Beautiful choral music

"If you like chamber and choral music this is a jewel. The movie is amazing too."
