Biography

Described by The Times as a group that has “stayed in character over four decades, yet retuned itself to the times” and by Gramophone as “enchanting the ear from first to last note” The King’s Singers are truly remarkable. They continue to be one of the most sought-after and critically acclaimed vocal ensembles in the world, performing a rich and varied repertoire from Gesualdo to György Ligeti… Read more in Amazon's King's Singers Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A Terrific European Madrigal Sampling, March 23, 2002
By 
Harold T Thomas (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour (Audio CD)
Most madrigals one hears tend to be either in Italian or English. Not so on this album, perhaps one of the best European madrigal samplers (if not the only one)in existence. Some well known English and Italian madrigals can be found, of course. But the true treasure of this album is its inclusion of French, German -- and most rarely, Spanish -- madrigal offerings. Combine this repertoire, then, with the accurate sonorities of the King's Singers and one finds treasure unbounded. An album that is infinitely enjoyable. Liner notes and translations are included.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Delight, April 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour (Audio CD)
I heard the first four selections on a Chicago classical station earlier this year, and knew right away I had to have this album. The King's Singers harmonize beautifully. And, as the title suggests, the listener gets samples of different European madrigal styles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great recording, July 25, 2002
By 
Juan Pablo Pira (Guatemala, Guatemala Guatemala) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour (Audio CD)
All male voice with perfect technique. Some madrigals are sung a capella, though most of them with accompaniment. The accompaniment, on renaissance instruments, is perfect, just like the singing. Excellent renditions of Mateo Flecha's La Bomba and Gastoldi's Amor vittorioso. Highly recommended
