The King's Singers - Encore: Masterpiece

From Byrd To The Beatles
Encore: Paul Drayton: Masterpiece [12.37]

[@bkeels002]

I've never heard human voices hit a more rock solid chord than these guys do at 2:14. It's unreal.

[@sarahirene91]

the best thing about these guys is the charisma you rarely get with other vocal groups. I wish i'd seen this live!

[@suzie106]

I have been watching the King Singers since the early seventies. I have loved them all but have to admit this is my favourite line up. Just wonderful.

[@Jamie69]

Their ability to create characters in a performance in only 9 minutes is incredible I wish I were friends with them!

[@jonathan12349111]

I just love the chords at 2:05 on the word Bach, so together, so perfectly in tune. Could listen to it forever!!

[@wendyscott8425]

I like what comes right after it! LOL

[@darushkii]

Debussy part gives me chills everytime!

[@nikanik2012]

I listened to it ten times and I want to listen again and again...

[@mattiadellamico888]

This is nailed, what a beautiful perfomance and an extraordinary composition!

[@lglarzabal]

I LOVE KING'S SINGERS!!!!!!!!

[@epten]

[@nikanik2012]

I watch this masterpiece many times and every time I admire it!

[@wolflover8765]

Wow, Mozart 3:30 is just fabulous. What a brilliant piece of music and what perfect vocals!

[@InstrumentManiac]

@SpectorG Shoot my bad I wrote down the wrong time, I knew that was Strauss but is 8:16 also Strauss or is that someone else?

[@moltoallegro19]

@Hunding76 Some of them appear in the part that starts at 10:48 :)

[@lindsaybrooke3102]

David robin looks at me as if to say I tickle you

[@betsycmc]

@InstrumentManiac They're listing waltzes by Johann Strauss. Not names.

[@zygyz666]

@InstrumentManiac Indeed, Strauss continues until 08:50 , when Debussy starts

[@lindsaybrooke3102]

Robin broke his leg Paul Phoenix broke his arm

[@andypandy123ish]

11:22 CAGE!! Hahahaha! XD

[@Storaggio]

Mr.Bean in azione, stavolta nel canto ahahahah

[@aliceboss3134]

WAGNERRRRRR

[@spectorg4820]

@InstrumentManiac Do you mean the waltz section? That's Johann Strauss, I believe.

[@InstrumentManiac]

can someone help me? Who is the composer around the 7:45 section? I couldn't understand the name :/

[@suedetree970]

10 years late, but they're just mentioning Strauss Works (i.e. Morgenblätter, Wiener Blut, etc.)

[@violasinger]

@InstrumentManiac Herbert von Karajan, accelerando, something something something... operettas

[@Hunding76]

Wonderful!!! BUT, Where are all those great composers before 1685?! :-S

[@drmarvinanthony]

2 people was JXXXing OFF when they were watching this...

[@dqdikidkey]

Levi Strauss XD

[@themrqwertymark]

Jasper Cullen sings Baritone

[@spectorg4820]

@InstrumentManiac Hmmm. I *think* so, but I'm not 100% certain.

[@salrubz]

[@Damar2369]

[@Delaquoowa]

Mr.Bean singing bass OLRIGHT

[@lindsaybrooke3102]

Robin brokenoits

[@thijmengombert1136]

Like Kelly

[@billylee4066]

what is the language they're using? is that French? why cant i understand a single word?

[@QueenChrissiThe1st]

They're singing the names of famous composers (like Bach, Händel, Mozart etc). And there are also some other (mostly music-related) words used in the song. But I guess those are English.

[@TheHornyHornist]

where is richard strauss and bruckner?? :(

[@kaulinissenis]

There is not surprise than mising Offenbach or Schumann, but Verdi, Rossini or especially Brahms could been included :)) anyway, is not so easy to imitate a style of Johan Brahms. This music piece (could be named as a Madrigal in ancient terms) starts from JS Bach - anyway, JSB got a lot from so-called Italian Strict Polyphony - Palestrina, Baldassare, Gastoldi etc.

[@wendyscott8425]

I wondered about Brahms. I was waiting for him and Ravel. Oh well, there are so many composers, I don't suppose they could have included them all. It would have been fun to hear something Stravinsky-like, too. I wasn't sure what was going on at the end. Perhaps you know?

[@kaulinissenis]

@@wendyscott8425 i try to imagine how Stravinsky may sound singing a cappella😃 anyway Brahms as one of the most accomplished composers of Romanticism is not easy for Interpretation

[@wendyscott8425]

@@kaulinissenis LOL! Me, too. Although there may be something in the Firebird they could sing instrumentally. The Rite of Spring? Not so much. :) I was a big Brahms fan in high school. Somehow it just spoke to my teenage angst. 😃

[@kaulinissenis]

I found in KZbin Kings Singers version of Nachwäche II - i a bit know these 5 Gesang für Mix Ch Op104 of Brahms and may say than the performance of Lepzig Radio Choir for me sounds better - more fits for style of Brahms and for style of Romanticism generally inc meaning of Lyrics of both Nachtwache. Anyway i did not seen yet a peformance of Francis Poulenc Timor et Tremor and Vinea mea Electa of Kings Singers - of course these pieces is not easy to perform and is not so easy to record - requires a special acoustoc conditions.

[@BlackJacktheOne91]

Where's Cajkovskij??

[@emeralddreams888]

where's Purcell... =(

[@chickenfish2010]

it looks like two people believe that justin bieber and nicki minaj should be in this song

[@mi8202]

Where's Michael Jackson?

[@GabrielSantos-qe9lu]

I'm half jewish, but I love Wagner anyway! lol
