Aldridge / Asel / Spillman - Love Songs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Olmertz / Bock / Various - Love Songs Re-Spelled [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/17/2011

It's no surprise that The King's Singers have recorded a huge number of love songs on all kinds of albums over the last fifty years. Some of these were albums devoted to love songs like Chanson d'amour and Romance du soir. Other albums couldn't help but include music about love, although their theme was actually different. This album, Love Songs, is a chance to revisit some of the ensemble's favorite tracks that they've recorded over the last two decades, compiled from across their back catalogue with Signum Records. The tracks they've chosen have come from five different albums, released between 2008 and 2017. Rather than trying to take in any of the enormous number of classical love songs from the back catalogue, the group wanted to focus on some of the best folk songs, jazz standards, and pop songs that have featured in King's Singers concerts throughout their history. This selection has been curated especially to celebrate the group's favorite recent albums, and to show how rich and varied the tapestry of love songs we have today is.

Love! Is all about love. About love in the period from the 17th century to the 21st, via Russia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Germany, to England and the United States. About passionate love, motherly love, forbidden love and love lost. There is a love dance and much more. But Love! Is also about us, about our love for music and the unique combination formed by our instruments. Because the orchestral possibilities and the specifically melancholy tone color of the accordion form a magnificent blend with the scintillating and sonorous sound of the violin. This is the second on Challenge Classics by the unique duo of accordionist Marieke Hopman and violinist Cecile Hujnen. Album Tracks 1. Romeo & Juliet~Montagues & Capulets 2.
