This brand new Christmas album from The King’s Singers features 25 tracks covering everything from contemporary choral gems and folk songs through to well-loved carols. Dotted throughout the album are several of the most famous English church carols, which take The King’s Singers right back to their earliest singing days, and which also reflect the group’s heritage at King’s College, Cambridge. In “Christmas Carols with The King’s Singers”, the group bottle that frosty, moonlit, fireside Christmas wonder and pour it into their sound. The King’s Singers have represented the gold standard in a cappella singing on the world’s greatest stages for over fifty years.

Staroboist Albrecht Mayer und die King’s Singers haben gemeinsam ein Winteralbum aufgenommen, das der kalten Jahreszeit mit schön arrangierten Melodien, internationalen Klassikern, fröhlichem Swing und Leichtigkeit trotzt! Diese Kombination aus Oboenklängen und a-cappella-Gesang gab es noch nie – ein musikalisches Gipfeltreffen auf Weltklasseniveau!
Die Atmosphäre des Albums ist bunt, zum Teil frech und feierlich, zum Teil nachdenklich und still. Klassiker wie „Greensleeves“ und „Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen“ erklingen neben den Grooves von „Let It snow!“ und ‘Baby, it’s cold outside’… Musikalischer Winterzauber pur!
‘Seitdem ich denken kann, hatte ich den einen riesigen Wunsch: einmal die King’s Singers (von denen ich schon als Kind jede Aufnahme hatte und pausenlos hörte) zu treffen. Nach über 30 Jahren wurde dieser Wunsch für mich nun Wirklichkeit, und mehr … Dass ich dieses Album aufnehmen durfte, mit diesem weltweit einzigartigen und absolut unvergesslichen Gesangsensemble, ist ein wunderbares Geschenk für mich.’ Albrecht Mayer

400 years ago, in 1623, England lost two of its greatest composers: William Byrd and Thomas Weelkes. In a pro- gramme marking this double anniversary, The King’s Singers and Fretwork turn their focus to the bold personalities of these two men, Will and Tom. Featuring well-known gems by the two composers, alongside works which had never been recorded before and which are rarely heard live, Tom and Will unlocks some of the humanity behind these two giants of Elizabethan music. Presented in The King’s Singers’ unique style, this programme is filled with beauty, drama and storytelling.
