This isn't really that surprising, because he isn't that old, and he certainly isn't famous but the boy who provided the voice on Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge is still alive. Which makes me happy. His name is Josef Protschka and he was 80 this year.
― My God's got no nose... (Tom D.), Thursday, 18 April 2024 07:28 (yesterday) link
this reminded me that one of my most vivid music listening experiences was on a train out of Rome listening to Gesang der Jünglinge, so this also makes me happy. Good work, Josef.

He did become an operatic tenor as an adult, he didn't end up as a bus driver or something. That would have been cool though.
