Reviews

'Typically immaculate performances of songs collected by the King's Singers on their global travels, and used as encores. Velvet vocal blending is a given, and mellifluous arrangements' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The King's Singers explore folk songs and melodies of the world in a collection of music from countries far and wide, ranging from Australian folksongs to traditional Brazilian choro (lamentation) music and Hungarian choral pieces. Designed to engage fans from all corners of the globe, people are encouraged to post musical memories, photos and videos onto a specially interactive map: http://kspostcards.com' (The Northern Echo)
‘Tuoll is my sweetheart’ is a simple Finnish love song that tells of a man’s feelings of yearning for his beloved. The text comes from the extensive collection of Finnish folk poetry called Kanteletar, which has been a great inspiration to many composers, most notably Jean Sibelius.
