Les Swinger Singers J S Bach Partita No2 Sinfonia 1969

[@bbcbeausoleil8689]

My older siblings would play this album on our hi-fi in the 60s and this was my favorite tune. There I was 8 years old in Brooklyn scatting along thinking nothing of it😂. Glad they introduced me to the classics and jazz back then...it's been a keeper❤

[@cheayunju]

Really incredible. I found this because I read a Junji Ito story about a cursed record that was inspired by this group. He heard a record in a shop I think and started putting ideas together. Really is a great track though.

My Mom had the first Swingle Singers albums, back in the 60’s. Thanks for the trip back in TIME.

[@jimvandemoter6961]

When this was coming out I was 16 years old and a guitar player in a rock band. I would never admit I got into this because I thought it would ruin any credibility I had as a rocker. It wasn't until years later I found out that everyone I knew liked it too, but wouldn't admit it for the same reason. How ironic can you get? After all these years it still sounds great. Great music will always be great no matter how old it is.

[@practicalpen1990]

And then there's Van Canto doing this, in rock (metal, really).

[@francisheperi1127]

I have to say something after all these years. I too listened to these guys, in secret. Bought two of their albums and listened through headphones. I came across them in the early 80's and considered myself rather ''hip''. Still like them. Nice to see videos of them. xxx

[@jimvandemoter6961]

@@francisheperi1127 What I find so cool about your response is I'm many decades older than you (I'm 68 years old) and even with that age difference we can still find common ground.😁

That solo performance is hypnotic. I love how she uses her facial expressions.

[@philipponphil8753]

À la minute 1:35 quelle belle voix et de beaux sons articulés, doux, sonores et harmonieux. Une voix qu'on ne retrouve plus chez les Swingles d'aujourd'hui. Tout comme les autres voix. Un moment unique du chant choral et symphonique. Bravo encore! Malheureusement, quelque chose d'important s'est perdu en traversant La Manche. At the minute 1:35 what a beautiful voice and beautiful articulated sounds, soft, sound and harmonious. A voice that we no longer find in the Swingles of today. Just like the other voices. A unique moment of choral and symphonic singing. Congratulations again! Unfortunately, something important was lost crossing the Channel.

[@gabrielpetit7812]

En hommage à Jeanette Baucomont, chanteuse des Swinger Singers de 1963 à 1968 et décédée en 2019. Un très belle personne qui brillait autant par son caractère que par sa voix.

[@Rohrerprod.]

C'est sublime!! Quelle performance!

[@MiskoKatua]

Many find J.S. Bach's Melodic Counterpoint Lines so complex/complicated/difficult; but this PROVES His Lines were just SO NATURAL and EVERY voice goes into PERFECT Harmony with the other! Only a TRUE Master of Music can do this!

多分この頃の日本のCMに多く登場していたと思う。幼心に「エキゾチック」を感じていた。昨今のガサツなものとは異なり、この頃のCMは情緒と格調が漂っていて良かった。もう半世紀も前の事。

[@steveclapping]

J'ai découvert les Swinger Singers et par là même la musique classique, notamment celle de Jean Sébastien Bach, durant mon adolescence alors que j'étais plutôt branché rock. Surpris par ces interprétations agréables et surprenantes à l'époque, je suis devenu un fan inconditionnel de leur singularité et me suis ouvert aux musiques symphoniques en général, avec un prolongement aux musiques minimalistes et néoclassiques... Merci !

[@2308malice]

bravo à nos huit chanteurs et en particulier Christiane Legrand auteure d'un solo extraordinaire Bach est transcrit en musique chorale et swinguée grâce au talent de ce groupe français

[@mauricioduron3193]

Let's be patient. Slow harmonies and at around 01:20, the vocal fireworks from soprano Christiane Legrand and the ensemble come into play. SOLID!

[@Tmanaz480]

Try doing this without sliding between notes, it's tough. She hits each note distinctly while maintaining a jazz expression. Brava!

[@VerbranntiChaib1]

Yes, she hits each note spot on, She sings notes that other singers dont't even know about.

[@jmoreno600]

She slides into a note at 2:51.

[@davidryle1164]

Le Grande was one of the best session vocalists of her time, a virtuoso by any measure.
