King's Singers - Barber of Seville Overture

1982 Concert in Boston

[@daVincisStudio]

feels like it's been 100 years since i've discovered this song. Listening now in 2022, man...it's amazing. They are amazing :)

[@eneedham789]

Bill’s voice (tenor) is just stunning. The way he sings those high notes 😍

[@agnes2mro]

These were mostly the Kings Singers I first saw and you just have to love Bill Ives (tenor) - he's adorable and such a fun actor, especially in Short People!

[@sesshyssoulmate]

I could watch this over and over again.

[@mouthmouse]

for me the best singers in the history of the group

[@carolemerckel3461]

I like Vocal Spectrum's version!

[@ThunderNRoses]

my choral group sang this last year and it was really fun! but we wont ever be as good as these guys, they are so awesome! i love that they put humor into their music. it makes them fun to listen to and fun to watch! why cant there be more performers like them?

[@DanielPianoman]

Wow... Can we really see how amazing things can we do, with all the precious and marvelous gifts that we, all of us, have received from Daddy God? CAN WE REALLY UNDERSTAND IT? God bless these guys and help us to shine others, just as TKS have made throughout these years..

[@ScottishgirlAnnlorie]

You have to love the King's Singers, I really don't see how anyone could dislike them!

[@nalib11]

wow. simon carrington is up there. he's awesome! forever grateful he conducted our region concert in 06!

[@stephanieboulton719]

he STILL IS conducting!

[@thatrangerdude]

this is too amazing. TIDDLY POO!

[@goguy345]

this song is awesome, my choir is doing a shortened version of this song and its definitely my favorite all year (singing tenor part, so i get the melody for a lot) its so much fun to sing

[@BelowSkyLevel]

This is what inspired me and my friends to sing this at our high school. just search: "Barber of Seville Overture WHS" and that's us. The King's Singers are incredible! Love them!

[@DavidLeist]

By far, my favorite line-up of the King's Singers. Countertenors Jeremy Jackman and Alastair Hume, tenor Bill Ives, baritones Tony Holt and Simon Carrington, and bass Brian Kay. I was lucky enough to record this 1982 broadcast and have converted it to digital for my enjoyment. I watch/play the program every year at Christmas time. I attended a concert they gave a few years later. Colin Mason was a good replacement for Brian Kay. Bob Chilcott was not even close to matching Bill Ives' melodic timbre. Still, one of my favorite vocal groups.

[@janetaldrich7747]

Me, too!

[@stephanieboulton719]

@@janetaldrich7747 Simon Carrington has been a regular guest at my inn ... he is a conductor and currently rehearsing with the University of Northern Colorado choir to perform Elijah! The most delightful chap.. and still so talented!! I fondly remember the Kings Singers being regulars on the variety shows when i was akid. happy days!

[@janetaldrich7747]

Could I get you to send a copy if your digital recording? I eould happily pay for postage, etc.

[@MSchut1000]

I could listen to this for hours. I love it!

[@3minuteadventures966]

It's so hard not to smile when watching this

[@rocketman544]

This never gets old....

[@jeremypearson6852]

2022 and still listening. It takes so much talent to produce this. An expat living in South Florida long removed from Essex. I vaguely remember listening to them on BBC 2.

[@wenglishsal]

I absolutely love this version, it makes me kind of sing along and smile a lot... Brilliant stuff this, I remember see the King Singers on BBC 2 back in the 80's with my Mum... Fabulous reminder and fantastic vocals and harmonies... :0)x

[@vicspracticetracks7563]

The most fantastic and fun of all the King's Singers' songs. Love this one. Thanks for posting.

[@winmacdon]

This kind of professional music on KZbin gives me hope that the right people will get to see my granddaughter's "Absu Road" music video.

[@maggipaolo]

[@OnaTutors]

INcredible! WOW!

[@MagnusWissler]

[@Happychoralsinger]

Lovely to see Brian singing - I'm usually the other side of his baton. He is the inspirational conductor of Leith Hill Musical Festival, The Really Big Chorus and Burford Singers. He's got less hair now :)

[@christianemueller5140]

@kaffelatte2 .. I am a Kings Singers fan and love all they sing... but I must agree that the 70's 80's 'lot' all seemed to have more fun...Have you listened and watched this line up singing 'Shot People' it is fantastically brilliantly funny and I watch once a day just to get my chuckle muscles warmed up... Happy watching fellow fan and Happy Christmas too... regards from Wales UK :0)X

[@MrGoran19933]

vary good NICE

[@MarkMaysey]

This is great!

[@altaboy97]

i think i gave this video over 20,000 views i watch it every day ast least 20 times

[@23Iulya]

[@MSchut1000]

these guys were amazing when they sang live just wow, and think how much pracitce it would take to get this good

[@kaitlinkan3973]

Sing it with pride, Bill Ives!

[@CSBlublupp]

It's amazing and incredible. It is really good. The music and the humor. I like this. :)

[@zsaniazseni]

It's so fantastic! :D

[@mouthmouse]

for me it's the best team of all king's singers!

[@tenderlyone]

They are the ones who originated the concept; of course, they have to be the best. I still miss them because nobody has been able to replicate the idea that Simon Carrington had when he founded the king singers.

[@kor2000]

Impresionante !!!...cacnto en un grupo vocal y les aseguro que hacer esto asi es MUY dificil. Genios de la musica vocal !...Bravo

[@Redwallfan_1]

Any time I hear part of this song in any context I think of this version and this video.

[@pedrocanoli]

Adoro esses caras.

[@GeorgeW82]

cara, simplesmente incrível. muito bom!

[@SunnyIrishArya160]

YES!

[@LampoDaVenezia]

pure genius!!!!

[@wenglishsal]

Ha ha ha watch the Tenor in the middle of this piece, his facial expression s are really funny, as are the ones he pulls in 'Short People 1982', posted by @KaiserPat too... The King Singers singing = Pure joy and much grinning... :0)x

[@snickersfan15]

Awesome, especially during those ages! ;) Very avanguardesque! :P

[@wenglishsal]

@altaboy97 ... I LOVE IT TOO.. I normally watch it about twice a day though... It always makes me smile and puts me in very good humour before going off to work and when I get home again too... Kings Singers both 'earlies' and 'the here and now's' are fantastic, stupendous and absolutely GREAT.. The absolute tops in my book... In fact the guys nowadays take this at a fair pace...But still fantastic... Oh happy me indeed... :0)x

[@BZHLover29]

Trop génial !!! XD

[@jonrivera]

DAMN that was too awesome.
