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)
Esti dal translates as ‘Evening Song’ and is Kodály’s most famous choral work. A young soldier fighting for the Austro-Hungarian Empire prays to God for shelter and safe-keeping through the night.
