This review is from: Nightsongs (Audio CD)

The King's Singers really do deserve all the amazing reviews they get, and this CD is a wonderful example of just what audiences and critics love about the group. The arrangements serve the songs perfectly, and several tracks feature added musicians and two guest soloists, only adding to the beauty that the Singers provide on every track. The liner notes give a nice background essay which serves to put the music in a nice historical context. Each song was also chosen to showcase a specific time or emotion of the night. The CD leaves the listener with a feeling of peace and beauty, making it perfect for a relaxing evening of listening in front of the fire (or on the porch in front of the fan for summer listening). Buy this CD and enjoy.
