5.0 out of 5 stars I've always dreamed about this, July 18, 2000

By	"r_panter" (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews

This has been one of the first Stereo records my Dad brought from States in 1966! For some time, since I've got my forst CD player, I wondered, whether there are any Swingle Singers' CD releases. Trust me -- this one won't disappoint you. As (I guess) all the others. Swoingle Singers have been one of the REAL artists of rythm and melody, feeling this unique swinging line in the classics, finding a way to show it to the masses. Their music is greatly suitable for any public ocasion and a must in the collection of a real Easy Listening fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming!!!, March 12, 2004

By	R. E. Belfrey "Brother Rick" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an absolutely charming little compilation of baroque and classical music. It concists mostly of Mozart, then Bach. The cd has only stimulated my thurst for more! Next, I'll purchase the Bach Hits Back CD. The technical adroitness of this group is amazing... and to think: they started out doing what they do only to warm up before concerts!!! The music induces a light, airy, and always delightful atmosphere. A good pick-me-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your great grandmother's chamber music, October 1, 2007

By	Jean M. Beebe "bassoonist and bibliophile" (Quincy, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The original Swingle Singers still have it. There have been some re-iterations/reconfigurations of this group since the 60s, but the earliest, original works are really still the best. This original group not only truly swings in a barely post-50s beat style, but their chops and tuning are really spot on. Some of the percussion -- the triangle in one of the fugues, for example --really sparkles. This is *not* just easy listening -- folks who appreciate jazz or classical music or just fine musicianship will enjoy this album, er, CD. The arrangements are quite true to the original, although now configured for voice, bass and percussion. I think even Bach himself would appreciate it for what it is.
