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 One of their best, November 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Kings Singers - New Day (Audio CD)
I have always loved this CD. Though I will concur with the others that have reviewed this CD (the first song is the best) the rest of the songs are not to be forgotten! Money Can't Buy Me Love is fantastic. The Gambler is amusing, and Noveau Poor is toungue-in-cheek. I reccommend this CD to anyone who love the King's Singers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful singing; clever arrangements, June 14, 2002
This review is from: The Kings Singers - New Day (Audio CD)
I have been a fan of The King's Singers since their debut recording thirty years ago. New Day is one of my favourite albums. It has the terrific optimistic song "New Day," but many other wonderful tracks.

"Can't Buy Me Love" is sung as if it had been written by one of the Renaissance madrigal writers when he was in a very good mood. There are other up tempo tracks like this one, including Abba's "Money, Money, Money" and "The Rhythm of Life," but the CD also includes some romantic, lush singing in songs such as "Three Times A Lady," "The Summer Knows" and "It Was Almost Like A Song."

The clever arrangement of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic?" begins with an extract from a sombre Chopin Prelude in C minor.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars PBS Promo Song "You are the New Day"the Highlight of this CD, March 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Kings Singers - New Day (Audio CD)
The King's Singers can take any song and change it into something unique. They prove it on this CD, changing from classic to current and back. Each song is a surprise. My favorite (who needs to listen to the rest?) is "You Are The New Day" which was used by PBS in a promotional spot.
