No puedo creer que haya un solo comentario de esta obra maestra. Banjo, bajo, batería, clarinetes, trompetas: todos recreados vocalmente en forma maravillosa. ¡Gracias por tanta música cantada con impecable técnica, pero, sobre todo, desde el corazón!
I think the guys have their eyes shut so they don't giggle at each others facial expressions... I love the Kings Singers and this is right up there with my favorites.. The way they harmonize and 'feel' the music is fantastic.. Oh and I love they fact that 'someone' moved the cymbals.. Steven you are amazing as are you all chaps... ;0)x
I could not disagree more. I've heard all the King's Singers albums over the years, and there is one absolutely certainty....never in their history has their blend been better than the line-up seen above. Ever.
This is truly marvellous. Correct me if I am wrong but the German group Comedian Harmonists was the original performers in the early 1930's of the music piece as a instrumental emulating performace by a choir, but with the only instrumental support by a piano.
@redhotmcr : I agree. They are really down-to-earth when they're meeting up with fans. Just ordinary guys. Okay, okay, gifted ordinary guys. I spoke with them on several occasions. I once spoke with Stephen for about ten, fifteen minutes (though he spoke most of the time), and all the people standing around us were like "Pfff, please, do hurry up, I want to talk to him too". I'll never forget.
@greenozoid11 ... You are probably right, but I still like to think that they don't want to giggle at each other too... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too, from Snowy COLD Wales :0)x
Yeah I know why you did it with your eyes closed, I know it was hard for me to keep a straight face too through all that. It's the best comedic song ever.
I disagree. I think this one is much better than the one from the 1980s, personally. I MUCH prefer this lineup to that one. David, Robin, Paul, and Stephen have much more pleasant voices than Jeremy, Alastair, Bob, and Colin, I think, but I do prefer Anthony and Simon to Phil and Chris. Plus, this version sounds more like the instrumental sound they are going for than the other one (Paul's solo, and Stephen's solo, especially)
I like the King's Singers generally but this has got to be the most pallid rendition of "Creole Love Call" ever performed. At its best, this song is perhaps the filthiest mating call ever paired to music. Look to Duke Ellington for that. I have heard sexier performances of madrigals.
The best line-up of King’s Singers. Ever.

I just can't believe the things these guys can do.. incredible!! LOVE 'EM!!

Absolute vintage King's Sngers; can't say any more than that. They're like Kellogg's Frosties; they're.......fill in the blank!!!
i've met them.. they are so nice!!
they are so amazing!
Such incredible talent! WOW!
Listening to this piece was an EXPERIENCE. It's so much fun and absolutely amazing!
Never heard something so sweet and pure.. wow
no question about it, it's amazing! ;)

wow this song is amazing! lot's of different instruments! Que maravilliso!
Oh this is SO great!!! Love it!!!
Thank you!!!
Fabulous! How did they manage to make it so good with their tongues stuck so firmly in their cheeks? Is there anything they can't do?
i saw this dvd, it just amazing, for fun =D
Amazing!
Wow! 6 eyes shut performers! By the way 2.11 is terrifyingly close to the sound of a muted trombone. Eat your heart out Real Group!

I bet they have to sing this with their eyes closed, since I would pack laughing at the others' faces...hahaha
@ 2:58. 'Somebody' moved the hi-hat cymbals that Stephen's playing. Hilarious.
I love the King's Singers' silly side.
I can't believe they turned into instruments.
LOL David's face at 2:53
Stunning! Beyond words! Is this concert available on DVD? I would soooo love to have it! ♥♥♥♥
It's called From Byrd to Beatles.
cnt wait to do this piece....lol
@greenozoid11 ... You are probably right, but I still like to think that they don't want to giggle at each other too...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too, from Snowy COLD Wales :0)x
@greenozoid11 because, as everyone knows, the most important aspect of a jazz band instrument is that it does not have eyes.
jajajajaja, geniales =)
That's a home run in the end
Yeah I know why you did it with your eyes closed, I know it was hard for me to keep a straight face too through all that. It's the best comedic song ever.
wel erg vals
Although I love the King's Singers I prefer the version of the Comedian Harmonists (sic!).

Paul Phoenix's face look like brush his teeth in the end
@xmentosx Nope, that's just Stephen's skill as an incredible bass singer.
no quesions about why they had to close their eyes
i don't know what the fuck this is but it sure is cool
Did no one notice the guy in the audience very clearly say "fuck" right at 08 secs?
+Frey Lemonholm i think one of the king's singers says "five" so they can begin together
No it's definitely coming from the audience and a distinctly English "fohk"
Not distinct at all. Could be saying a number of things.
2 people never had a Love Call
Te mai bine dispune! :)
My favorite lineup of their singers. Also, watching the video made me uncomfortable.
hahaha they look so juvenile sticking their fingers in their mouths.
1:46 1:59 2:28 3:21 lol xD
This has nothing on the original King's Singers version.
U
lol
As much as I hate Bob Chilcott's scratchy voice I like the original way better. Al Hume does the best trumpet.

Bob Chilcott has a terrible voice, he ruins it for me. I can't be the only one!
