On a new disc to celebrate the 2012 Diamond Jubilee, The King's Singers present a selection of works from the past 500 years written in honour of the great Monarchs of Britain. Starting with works for (and in some cases by) Henry VIII, the programme covers the Elizabethan 'Triumphs of Oriana' by composers such as Gibbons, Mundy and Dowland; a very Victorian selection of dedicatory works by Elgar, Parry and Parrat; choral arrangements from the opera 'Glorianna' by Benjamin Britten; and a new piece by Paul Drayton that comically pens 'A Rough Guide to the Royal Succession'. (Drayton is perhaps best known to fans of The King's Singers as the composer of their much-loved encore work Masterpiece.) “Pristinely sung, if starchily interpreted, the selection comprises a predictable trawl through Tudor and Elizabethan partsongs, and a less predictable choice of Victoriana...KS fans will probably buy this recording for Paul Drayton’s A Rough Guide to the Royal Succession, a 12-minute pastiche that romps through 1,000 years of kings and queens.” The Times, 16th June 2012 *** “the sound this ensemble makes is beautifully balanced, and you could take dictation from their impeccable enunciation. These are considerable benefits...a notably intelligent, enjoyable Jubilee offering.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2012 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Shakespeare – Come again sweet love is a haunting collection of songs and madrigals by some of the great masters of the Renaissance period, including Purcell, Dowland and Gibbons. The theme of the album is “love” in all its many forms, expressed through the poetry of the Shakespearian Era and the music it inspired. Daniel Taylor is joined on the album by the Theatre of Early Music (founded and conducted by Daniel Taylor) and famous soloists Dame Emma Kirkby, Carolyn Sampson, Michael Chance and Charles Daniels. Daniel and the Theatre of Early Music appear in some 30 concerts every year. The ensemble consists of a choir and orchestra that are dedicated to sustain the heritage of magnificent yet neglected choral and instrumental repertoire from four centuries. Their recent performance could be seen on stages in France, England, Argentina, Brazil and China. Daniel Taylor is a prolific recording artist who has worked on numerous albums including Sakamoto’s pop-opera Life with the Dalai Lama and Salman Rushdie, Renaissance duets with actor Ralph Fiennes, and Bach recitals with the Theatre of Early Music to name only a few. “This is deluxe casting, allowing combinations from unaccompanied lute songs to an a cappella duet, and lute solos to five-part madrigals...Taylor - with one of the loveliest countertenor voices in the business - is on nine [tracks], happy it seems to let others into the spotlight, with every other singer getting at least one solo spot.” Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2011 “Vocal leads and arrangements are shared: the results include a four-part madrigal setting of Gibbons' "The Silver Swan"; solo pieces accompanied by theorbo, such as Taylor's poised expression of a woman who "with such sweetness and such justice reigns" in Purcell's "By Beauteous Softness"; and tenor Charles Daniels's extended swoon of ardour through Dowland's "Come Again, Sweet Love Doth Now Invite".” The Independent, 24th June 2011 *** | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
