Reviews

'This two-disc release comprises a cappella plus orchestral accompaniment from the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra. The King’s Singers bring their unique style to some of the most beloved hits from the golden era of songwriting, including a witty take on cole Porter’s Let’s Misbehave' (The Lady)
An English language version of Trenet’s 1943 song La Mer, which was reputedly penned in ten minutes on French Railway toilet paper during a train journey from Paris to the Mediterranean. The lyricist Jack Lawrence added the word “beyond” to bring the song onshore for this English version.

Dieser Song ist die englische Version des französischen Chansons La Mer, den Charles Trenet 1943 angeblich in 10 Minuten auf Toilettenpapier der französischen Eisenbahn während einer Zugfahrt von Paris ans Mittelmeer komponierte. Der Songwriter Jack Lawrence fügte dem englischen Titel das Wort “beyond” hinzu, um damit den neuen Inhalt der englischen Version zu verdeutlichen.
