The King's Singers Collection

The King’s Singers are a unique group. Aside from their unusual voice distribution (2 countertenors, 1 tenor, 2 baritones, and a bass), they have, over 40 years of performing and recording together, tackled repertoire ranging from the Beatles and Paul Simon to Cole Porter and Johann Strauss II. Though the music is constantly changing, the principles of what the group does have always remained the same: they endeavor to convey a love of their music, maintain a homogenous blend and balance combined with flawless intonation, and, when appropriate, present it with that special dry British sense of humor. This 5-CD compilation from EMI's back catalog coincides happily with the group's 40th anniversary and offers a good representation of the various incarnations of the group up until about 15 years ago.

Five CD collection set of the King's Singers.
