Music reviews of The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour

Music Review: My all-time favourite CD
Rating: 5 Stars

The Madrigal History Tour is the most brilliant piece of recorded music that I ever had the honour to listen to.
The King's Singers are probably the best men's chamber choir in existence. Unlike operatic soloists, their voices are trained for clarity and beauty rather than shock and awe. If you've never heard countertenors before, you might be taken aback by the male voices in the soprano range, but it won't take long to get used to. (It's also the historically accurate rendering, as mixed choirs were not commonplace in the renaissance era.)

It is obvious that a huge amount of educated effort was invested in the selection, research, implementation and rehearsal of the pieces. The King's Singers were able to maintain historical authenticity while throwing in a multitude of little creative improvements. They sing in five languages with an almost flawless (modern) pronunciation, conveying the different musical styles of all five major Western European nations in a lively manner.

Most importantly, these guys' joy and love for singing and their bright mischievous humour makes you smile and gets you to sing too!
