Reviews

'This disc from the King's Singers is a notably intelligent, enjoyable Jubilee offering' (BBC Music Magazine)» More
PERFORMANCE

'Given that they've been around almost as long as Elizabeth II, a Jubilee album from the King's Singers is inevitable. Pristinely sung, if starchily interpreted, the selection comprises a predictable trawl through Tudor and Elizabethan partsongs, and a less predictable choice of Victoriana, including the unintentionally hilarious Waiter Parratt. The six Choral Dances from Britten's Gloriana are suavely delivered, but KS fans will probably buy this recording for Paul Drayton's A Rough Guide to the Royal Succession, a 12-minute pastiche that romps through 1,000 years of kings and queens' (The Times)
