CD Reviews

The Swingle Singers still have it!

"Those who remember and enjoyed the Swingle Singers' "do-be-do" take on Bach from years back will enjoy this updated version. Some of the old favorites are here, with a slightly freer approach, along with some new material from both Bach and Mozart. It isn't just scat singing, either. The Singers demonstrate that they can sing the texts of pieces quite well. If you didn't grow up with them, give it a try--it's a great light approach to classical music!"

Fabulous works.

"I was a conductor of Choir, and sometinmes I taught my students many things about a capella. To do so, I had to check many a capella teams' works(especially their CD recordings.) Except some fully-classical-oriented a cappella teams, I concluded that technique of Swingle singers is the best. I know kings singers, the real group, and some other teams are also very nice. However, when we consider the technical difficulties of the works, generally, I can tell you, with my confidence, Swingle singers is the best team I know.
This recording contains two CDs. One is Bach Hits Back, and another is A capella Amadeus. Each sells at more than $$$ each, I know. In this aspect, this recording is very cheap, 'Two for One' price.
The best work I choose is 'Little organ fugue' in Bach Hits Back. You can find the utmost of houman voice in that song. It is almost impossible to make ensemble like that with the speed and the complexity of the fugue. You will love these works, but If you want more popular a capella songs, please check out swingle singer's jazz works, or kings singers' or the real group's popular albumes. However, I suggest you listening these works. You can get the highest reach of art with human voices."

Delightfully relaxing

"I first heard the album while in a music store; I began to feel an instant hapiness invading the place, filling the air; you're going to love it; I really think it's worth having one and getting the second one for a very special gift. Enjoy!"
