Die Wiener Sängerknaben

Together: is the name of our latest album, published by Deutsche Grammophon

We are all in the same boat. Literally.

In a pandemic, doing things together is difficult; and singing together seems almost impossible. But it is one of the best things we humans can do. Singing is about connecting with others. For this album, we have chosen 19 songs, songs of sailors, work songs, songs of hope, songs underlining what and how much we all have in common. Each of these songs has migrated, each has a unique story. Singing them together, as a choir, brings hope and joy - and that special sense of togetherness.

We hope you will enjoy the recordings!
