The Grammy Award-winning and internationally acclaimed The King’s Singers present a combination of newly recorded works alongside reissues from their The Library series, taking a deep-dive into one of the most beloved and unique corners of their music library: the close-harmony arrangements. Selections include a whimsical arrangement of the Barber of Seville Overture, John Rutter’s arrangement of Kern’s “The Way You Look Tonight,” a generous helping of Beatles’ songs, and surprising arrangements of songs by Freddie Mercury, James Blake, Elton John, and Albert Hammond.
