'The King's Singers, the superlative vocal sextet that has retained immaculate blend, perfect tuning and crystal diction...' (The London Times, October 05) have combined one of the greatest vocal compositions of all time with modern recording technology and customary style to produce a truly stunning recording of Thomas Tallis' Spem in alium. This is a unique opportunity to hear every part in Spem sung and recorded to perfection, with the six King's Singers dividing the forty parts of Spem in alium between them, in this multi-track recording the disc is in full surround sound, and is a CD/SACD hybrid.

This disc can be played on any standard CD or SACD player. 
In addition, there is a 4.0 surround-sound mix on the SACD layer.
