(More customer reviews)I've always enjoyed King's Singers concerts better than their albums. Their studio recordings, while always interesting, are sometimes so highly thematic that listening to them from beginning to end can be a real challenge. Their concerts, on the other hand, feature varied programs like the one on this dvd. The range of music, all sung acappella, allows the talent of the singers to dominate the dvd, and make no mistake - these are six great singers who make a great ensemble. A highlight is Billy Joel's "Goodnight My Angel" with a Philip Lawson arrangment that makes this THE iconic version of the song. The segments on the making of Spem in Alium show interesting behind the scenes interviews and recording sessions on the creation of this 40-part, 8-minute work from 6 singers. The final work (Spem...) and the encore, "Masterpiece" fill out the DVD. A highly recommended purchase.
