King's Singers

Among the numerous albums of the fabulous King's Singers, one festive repertoire theme stands out in particular: English Christmas Carols and German Weihnachtslieder. In a new compilation, these pearls of their discography are now reissued under the album title "Christmas with The King's Singers". In addition to festive and exuberant melodies, the album also presents many a surprise and is thus an atmospheric musical contribution to Christmas, but also to the 50th birthday of the famous English formation in the coming year In addition to popular English carols, the program includes Christmas songs from Spain and Germany. Among them, of course, "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" in the version by Michael Praetorius, but also "Silent Night, Holy Night" - the most famous Christmas carol of all. But with typical English humor and a twinkle in their eyes, the six also provided an entertaining Christmas cabinet piece - a Mozart medley with Kiri Te Kanawa as guest star. The 50th anniversary of the King's Singers also recalls that the success story of the Six is based on great traditions: As erstwhile choristers, the founding members sang in the famous King's College Choir, Cambridge - an institution where 500 years of history resonate in every note!
