About the album
As part of Signum's 15th anniversary year this celebratory collection of The Best of 'The King's Singers' has been released – a double album with a collection of songs drawn from their now extensive catalogue on Signum.
The first CD includes titles from Christmas (the groups debut album with Signum, released in 2004), along with music from Landscape and Time, Treason and Dischord, Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories, Sacred Bridges, Siglio d’Oro, Romance du soir, From the heart, High Flight and the 2012 release Royal Rhymes and Rounds.
The second CD presents songs from four albums: Six, their most recent light album Swimming over London and the Grammy® Award winning Simple Gifts.
Artist(s)
The King's Singers
Over the last few years The King’s Singers have worked closely with Signum Records to produce a variety of recordings reflecting the wide range of our repertoire. We decided to split into two groups of three to come up with content for these CDs, under the rather loose and inaccurate titles of Classical and Light. The first CD includes titles from Christmas, our debut album with Signum Records, released in 2004, along with music from Landscape & Time, Treason & Dischord, Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories, Sacred Bridges, Siglo de Oro, Romance du soir, From the Heart, High Flight and our 2012 release Royal Rhymes and Rounds. The second CD presents songs from four albums: Six, From the Heart, our most recent light album Swimming over London and the GRAMMY® award winning Simple Gifts. If you would like to hear more, all these CDs are available on the Signum Records label, and they include extensive programme notes about the repertoire, which for reasons of tree conservation we are unable to reproduce here.
