Signum
Records is proud to announce the release of the latest recording by The King's
Singers: Vesper setting by Johann Pachelbel.
The music contained in this CD
represents a selection of Vespers movements written by the organist Johann Pachelbel.
They have in common the distinctively sonorous scoring of four or five-part choir,
accompanied by a six-part string orchestra to which is added, at the composer’s
express request, a bassoon. ‘Charivari Agréable is one of the most versatile Early
Music groups around at the moment; under its benign director, Kah-Ming Ng, it
appears to be infinitely adaptable, finding musicians who can fit into any of
its many and varied programmes’ International Record Review. They represent ‘a
new and very exciting phase of the early music revival, one that enriches the
existing repertory and can bring us ever closer to the spirit of the original
music’ Gramophone. Described by The Times as a group that has “stayed in character
over four decades, yet retuned itself to the times” and by Gramophone as “enchanting
the ear from first to last note” The King’s Singers are truly remarkable. They
continue to be one of the most sought-after and critically acclaimed vocal ensembles
in the world, performing a rich and varied repertoire from Gesualdo to György
Ligeti and Michael Bublé. Internationally recognised for their work in the classical
field, they retain the sparkle that delights so many fans when they perform much
loved numbers from the lighter end of the repertoire. Whatever the music The King’s
Singers are instantly recognisable for their spot-on intonation, their impeccable
vocal blend, the flawless articulation of the text and incisive timing.
“…
joined together [The King’s Singers] bond into a bright rainbow of colours – just
right for the music’s sunny demeanour.” The Sunday Times
“For those
who know Pachelbel only through the Canon, this disc will be revelatory … Each
piece is beautifully served by the ensemble.” The Sunday Times
