Der schönste Tag meines Lebens, Michael Ande

The story in the film Der schönste Tag Meines Lebens, 1957, is the same as in An Orphan Boy of Vienna from 1936. That is ok with me since I am the sentimental guy.
The boy is played by Michael Ande born on the 5th of October 1944 in Bad Wiesse Germany. Michael is still active as an actor.
The little film clip below will give you an idea of the film and you can download it with the link at the end of the post.
For the Japanese visitors to the blog: This version comes with Japanese subtitles! Original language is German but the story is easy to follow without much knowledge of the German language.

You will find the film, in three rar archives, here:

Sub Tuum Presidium, W.A. Mozart Max Emanuel Cencic and Steven Möckel

This is a great performance of Sub Tuum Presidium by W.A. Mozart. It is sung by Max Emanuel Cenecic and Steven Möckel in Stadt pfarrkirche St Stephan near Wien in 1990.

Max Emanuel Cencic

Max Emanuel Cencic was born on September 21, 1976 in Zagreb/Croatia.
At the age of 6 he sang the Queen of the Night in his native town.
From 1986-92 he was a member and soloist of the Vienna Boys' Choir.
In September 1992, after his voice break, he started a solo career.
A special technique developed by his mother, Silvia von Vojnic-Purcar,
allowed him to continue singing in the soprano range.
After a voluntary sabbatical, he returned in 2000 as a countertenor
and is in great demand. He has released six CDs as a counter-tenor.

Pueri concinite Nato regi psallite
Voce pia dicite
Apparuit quem genuit Maria
Sum implenta quae praedixit Gabriel
Eia, Eia, virgo Deum genuit
Quem divina voluit clementia
Hodie apparuit
Apparuit in Israel
Ex Maria virgine natus est Rex!
