Poznan Choirs.txt
I think I can provide answers to a couple of questions.
The Poznaner Knabenchor " Lieder zur Weihnacht" is from on or around 1994.
I've come to that conclusion with the help of a reliable database.
I just searched for the names of the treble soloists, and I found that they also appear in other recordings where the date of recording is given.
As for nene's question whether it is the same choir in both of his postings, the answer is yes and no.
Apart from the Poznan Cathedral choir
, there were two outstanding men and boys choir that originated in Poznan in 1945.
One was directed from the beginning by Stefan Stuligrosz: it appears that he is still around and presumably always the director of the choir, but I am not aware of recent recordings.
The other choir was founded and directed by Jerzy Kurczewski until 1990. Upon his death he was replaced by Wojciech A. Krolopp.
When Krolopp ran into trouble with the law the choir was disbanded.
In 2003 the choir was "refounded" under the direction of Jacek Sykulki.
The "Stuligrosz" choir is affiliated in some way with the Poznan Philharmonie.
There are quite a few recordings from the two 1945 choirs, and both are often identified as the Nightingales (or Slowiki).
In the case of the "Stuligrosz" choir, they were the Poznan Nightingales, and in the other case, the Poland Nightingales (Polskie Slowiki).
The most recent choir is simply the Poznan Boys Choir (Poznanski Chor Chlopiecy)
Hope this helps.
