"Impeccable singing conjures up landscapes real and imagined"

The Gramophone

  "The King's Singers (here with the collaboration of outstanding treble Andrew Swait) are on absolutely stunning form throughout"

International Record Review 

 
       

The King's Singers present a disc of some of their best and most requested repertoire.

We are all shaped, perhaps unconsciously, by the landscape and time in which we live. This evocative and spiritual programme, which contains five King's Singers commissions, explores the links between human life and it's surroundings through the different personal languages of poets and composers.

John McCabe Scenes in America Deserta
