The Kings Singers

A live and televised recording from this year's BBC Proms performance on 5th August by the most famous a cappella group ever: the King's Singers. Regularly performing in excess of 100 concerts every season complemented by recording and teaching, The King's Singers delight audiences around the world with their incomparable musicianship, charm and wit.With the recent album release Landscape and Time having been described as possessing "singing of rare distinction", and "stunningly high musical standards", they have maintained their place at the apex of a cappella singing, and are counted amongst the world's elite classical performers. Continuing Signum's release series in celebration of the group's 40th Anniversary year, Simple Gifts (SIGCD121) and a 5-CD ‘best of’ (SIGCD120), this performance was in many ways a retrospective of the groups musical history, encompassing some of the earliest arrangements that the original line-up performed right up to contemporary works that they recently commissioned. Available on CD and DVD, the DVD includes extra interviews with the group from Suzy Klein and Gareth Malone, star of BBC series The Choir, and can also be enjoyed in 5.1 surround sound.

CONCERT REVIEW:

"In an exquisitely programmed concert, there was music ranging from the Renaissance to the present, including the opening selection of Poulenc's witty “Chansons françaises" and various Victorian parlour songs "in the biggest Victorian parlour ever built." …the pure quality of the vocal balance is quite extraordinary. The King's Singers had travelled back in time some 400 years (who needs Dr Who at the Proms?). Then followed an example of the many works the group has commissioned, John McCabe's haunting evocation of American wastelands, "Scenes in America deserta", based on the writings of architectural historian Reyner Banham. McCabe took his bow. The evening ended with folksongs arranged by Gordon Langford and members of the group, Bob Chilcott (who left in 1997) and current baritone Philip Lawson. Langford's "Widdicombe" Fair played to the group's effortless resource of funny voices and genial comedy. The encore was Arthur Sullivan's arrangement of "The Long Day Closes", apposite for a concert finishing at fifteen minutes short of midnight and perfectly judged in this performance."

The Lamentations of the prophet Jeremiah were written to commemorate the devastation of the city of Jerusalem and the fall of Judah in 586 BC. Lamentations have a character that is entirely their own and this recording shows the development of the genre in the 16th century, demonstrating the various styles by the composers of the time.

Huelgas-Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel

"a performance of breathtaking technical mastery and originality" BBC Music Magazine, January 2008

“This is a typically imaginative programme from Paul van Bevel, a triptych of Masses all the more welcome for being served up without the eccentric interpretative decisions that have featured in many previous offerings. The real discovery here, and the work that earns this disc the highest recommendation, is Thomas Ashewell, whose Missa Ave Maria is something of a minor masterpiece, full of fine detail and the kaleidoscopic sonority that makes early Tudor polyphony so absorbing.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008

The Monteverdi Choir, John Eliot Gardiner

recorded: All Hallows, Gospel Oak, London - May 2005

Being a man for great journeys of exploration, John Eliot Gardiner took his Monteverdi Choir on a musical pilgrimage to Santiago in 2004. The concerts they gave along the route have yielded this superb album. All the composers have a connection with Spain, so Morales and Mouton are set alongside Dufay and Victoria, marvellous performances all. - Gramophone Magazine

Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe

“It is Collegium Vocale's ability to bring out such subtleties by means of minutely controlled dynamics or perfectly timed pauses that shows these pieces burning with a fierce, dark intensity.” Daily Telegraph

“particularly beautifully recorded…those who want a clear ravishing sound will go for the Herreweghe” BBC Music Magazine Benchmark Recording

“Collegium Vocale is impeccably in tune and immaculate in ensemble. Herreweghe conducts them with his customary suave and unhurried approach to Renaissance sacred music” International Record Review
