"... searingly intense, with the singers' clear, steady
sound, beautifully judged changes of pace and dynamics ..."
Daily Telegraph
|

"The King's Singers are always a treat to hear, ... as with everything this inimitable,
impeccably-tuned and balanced, stylish male sextet does, the chant is
expertly accomplished, and the following multi-part responsories are
sincerely felt and warmly resonant"
David Vernier, Classictoday.com |
| |
|
"... their reputation for after-dinner smoothness, the King's
Singers .... all-male line-up .... makes those grinding climaxes all
the more tense and penetrating, and the attention given to word-painting is
exemplary" Ivan Hewitt, The Times |
| |
|
"... a no holds barred, immaculately sung performance from the
King's Singers. Unmissable"
Classic FM Magazine |
|
The King’s Singers would like to
