For more than 20 years, this group of singers from Cambridge University have delighted audiences with a superb range of a capella singing. Although they are best known for lightweight arrangements of popular songs, the King's Singers have a wide classical repertoire, and their light, subtle voices are ideal for renaissance church music, as the CDs here prove. The line up of the King's Singers has changed significantly over the years: on these recordings they were:
-
David Hurley (counter-tenor)
-
Nigel Short (counter-tenor)
-
Robert Chilcott (tenor)
-
Bruce Russell (baritone)
-
Philip Lawson (baritone)
-
Stephen Connolly (bass)
