德布西/拉威爾/布拉姆斯/孟德爾頌 - 如夢幻般的材質 20世紀早期合唱曲及改編曲
國王歌手合唱團
The last album with the current line-up, The King's Singers present a new album of choral music from the early 20th century, with a feature from sopranos Grace Davidson and Victoria Meteyard.
“Such stuff as dreams are made on is an exploration of European choral music from the early 20th century (and a bit either side), much of it shaped and scarred by the spectre of conflicts that dominated the continent in that period. For us, the album has been a chance to develop and exercise new and different colours in our singing, to dive deeply into text-centric interpretations and historical context, to savour and cherish the four languages in which we sing here, and – in one instance – even to expand our forces a little.” – The King's Singers
4★★★★ – “This is a beautifully balanced programme without so much as a momentary lapse. Thank heavens for the King's.” – TheCritic.co.uk
5★★★★★ – “The overall impression is of a single organism, comfortable in its skin, moving and breathing as one” – BBC Music Magazine
“Singing in small groups is the ultimate challenge, and few groups have mastered this so marvellously well as the King's Singers. That this disc is a further feather in their already well-adorned caps, I am sure their many admirers will agree.” – MusicWeb International
“This release is both aesthetically and intellectually entirely successful and satisfying, performed by a vocal ensemble at the top of its game.” – Musicweb International
