The Swingle Singers - Live 1994

[@willswh66]

I've been listening to them for 61 years. They never get old, (But I do!) My absolute favorite group.

[@DeborahJDow]

I loved listening to their album in 1962 when I was in seventh grade and am glad it continues for future generations to hear so clearly .

[@lost_in_the_90s]

it converted in stoupe instrumentals , epic shit!

[@byronjenkins8894]

Let's be very clear about this: Here is artistry at the highest level. Impeccable intonation and astonishing memorisation of part singing. I've been a fan since my teens.

[@michelecherchi154]

U said.

[@artsloving]

That generation of swingle singers were the best. The elegant joyfulness yet with full spirituality, beyond words. As it is more general problem with the present whole generation, later ´swingle-generations´ have become more sort of narcissistic.

[@robertgraybeard3750]

I'm smiling as I nod my head. Beautiful

[@DaveyL1954]

Vocal perfection. One take, no mistakes, as smooth as a glass of French Red wine. Beautiful!

[@jenniferbate9682]

I had a friend who gave me their LP for my 21st birthday back in the 60’s….love them so much xxx

[@DeborahJDow]

At 14 years of age I received as a birthday present one of the first albums of the Swingle Singers and fell in with their sound! It's nice there's a revival and groups continuing the Swingle Singers traditions for new generations to hear and enjoy!

[@eensio]

Astonishing ability, virtuos singing, beautiful voices. Great arrangements! ❤ Thank you for these treasures!

[@barthongerald7183]

Magnifique...et dire que je n'aimais pas trop ce style...mais je les remercie ..pour m'avoir fait changer d'avis !!

[@mrstinkabell123]

Just brilliant! It's wonderful to see them singing 'Live'. I've loved the Swingle Singers since the 1970s!

[@Amittai_Aviram]

It is so thrilling to see them performing live! The joy and delight and togetherness! So wonderful!

io sono organista.....ho meraviglia , stupore, e grande infinita ammirazione....Dio ci ama davvero tanto....Grazie, di averlo postao in rete....

[@hernancastro1542]

Maravilloso espectáculo de estos principes de la musica barroca

[@kermitefrog64]

I have heard there music from time to time over the last 60 years but this is the first time I have found them on KZbin and they are incredible.

[@friedemannkemm63]

They even have their own KZbin channel (Swingles). 😃

[@edwardsholty7959]

This group is the great-great-great grandparent of Pentatonix. I bought their first album in 1962. Singers have come and gone, but the institution has continued under the direction of its founder, the aptly named Ward Swingle. Some percussion shows up in some numbers, but most of that is actual vocalese as well.

[@mykoladubrovskiy8244]

Свингл сигерс открыл для меня ( и многим !) просто новое измерение этого мира. Моя жизнь обогатилась несказанно и уже не могла быть прежней...

Absolutamente magnificos!!!

Magnificent!

[@Arcturus121]

Fantastic! I've admired them a long time. They were a super-talented group of singers.

[@prassitelexk4336]

la fuga 542....al diploma ho portato 552 e 3 choralvorspiele prima della tripla fuga,... ma non credevo....Bravi è riduttivissimo.... Dio vi benedica e benedica tutti noi... Ciao!

[@adoramase]

wonderful and very helpful in identifying the different voices

[@kamelhaj6850]

Wow - I didn't know this group lasted past the early 70s! They gave all of us an appreciation of classical music which we would have otherwise not listened to. Makes me think of Post Modern Jukebox which puts an old school spin on more recent music music which some older people might otherwise not enjoy.

[@philipponphil8753]

À travers les époques, ça ne vieillit jamais. Toujours aussi beau et audacieux. Merci.

[@andrzejmrugaa139]

Niebieski warsztat i wrażliwość. Subtelna elegancja. Lekkość o interpretacji. Piękno.

ハーモニーのバランス素晴らしすぎて感服致します‼️

[@ИринаВашакидзе]

В 95 году познакомилась с "джазменом". Тогда я выросла в семье классических музыкантов ( моя мама- пианистка) и джаз не знала. И вот, мой новый друг Саша, промучившись со мной год, принёс компакт диск Swingle Singers. -Как мне понравилось!! Я знала все мелодии наизусть (ещё с детства). Постепенно полюбила и jazz. Огромное спасибо приславшему мне этот ролик! Аха

[@anamariajannello3565]

"And what do you do for a living?" "I accompany the Swingle Singers, with brushes on suspended cymbal"

[@briseboy]

Ward Swingle was English, Johan was German, Dvorak Czech. Stop posting inaccuracies.

[@thethikboy]

@@briseboy "The French group, directed originally by Ward Swingle (who once belonged to Mimi Perrin's French vocal group Les Double Six),"

[@q-tuber7034]

This isn’t the French group. This is the English group that was founded shortly afterward and has been continually performing for decades.

[@owades]

@@briseboy, Ward Swingle was an American, born in Mobile, Alabama. He was living and working in Paris when he founded the original Swingle Singers, the rest of whose members were French. He later moved to England and created a new group of British singers (with which he also sang for a time); that group was variously known as Swingle II or the Swingle Singers. After much evolution, the current group-called the Swingles or the Swingle Singers-is based in England but has some international members (German. American), and Swingle himself served as a mentor only (he’s now deceased).

Super ! but where is the drummer ?

[@lorrainedubuis8495]

the drummer is the singer located at the far right (for us)

[@singhsinga4592]

@@lorrainedubuis8495 actually he's on our far left (coté jardin). They always had basses there...

[@mebbio]

The drummer is Jonathan Rathbone, the first one from the right. Jonathan was a monster, he could do everything: leading the group, writing arrangements, singing as tenor, or baritone, or vocal percussionist, solving logistic problems for the group....Swingles owes a lot to him.

[@paulflute]

such amazingly talented singer.. such accurate pitching and dynamic control.. such a pity they could't find anybody to write any lyrics for them.. ;9)

The original beat box

[@juancarlosromero7557]

Nunca entendí la necesidad de ponerle a semejantes super dotadas voces ese efecto de platillo de batería al fondo en la fuga inicial de Bach. Me resulta tan distractivo como casi intolerable. Fantástico escuchar las voces y la armonía como para arruinar el efecto global con ese efecto que menciono.

Son muy profesionales y lo hacen bien pero no tan excepcionales como el grupo original homónimo de los años 1960 que por cierto estaba substancialmente compuesto por afroamericanos.
