God save the King's Singers ! La musique vocale anglaise en majesté à Gaveau

California music listeners were blessed with a rare opportunity to hear two internationally renowned vocal ensembles share a unique body of work that, for the most part, is equally rare to hear.

Madrigals and Folksongs: the King's Singers entertain and delight in a progromme spanning 400 years with glorious singing. 

The King’s Singers epitomise a cappella musicianship. The group was originally formed in the 1960s by choral scholars of King’s College, Cambridge (and one from Christ Church, Oxford), but its current membership includes members who were previously choral scholars at Oxford, and even one member from New Zealand.

Frequent concertgoers in our modern age will be all too aware of the irritation factor of mobile phones going off during performance. The King’s Singers, however, make a feature of the phenomenon and take it to another level. This world-class ensemble delighted a packed Hereford Cathedral, the closing concert of their 2011/12 season coinciding with the Three Choirs Festival.

Seit dem „Skandal“ um seinen vierten Platz beim Tschaikowsky-Wettbewerb im Jahr 2015 geht die Karriere des französischen Pianisten steil aufwärts. In Zürich präsentiert er sich mit seinem Lieblingskomponisten Miłosz Magin.

Jacobs, FBO und exzellenter Gesangscrew gelingt es als Ensemble im ureigensten Wortsinne, Atmosphäre und Figuren effektstark zu veranschaulichen.
