N°13 THE KING'S SINGERS - THE BARBER OF SEVILLE (OVERTURE)

I'm totally not into classical music but the link into the Barber of Seville couldn't be left alone. I knew the play, I didn't knew the overture and certainly I've never seen The King's Singers perform their acapella style of performing.

They're a British, six-headed accapelle music ensemble containing a tenor, 2 countertenors, a bass voice and 2 baritones. They're always six and the group switched members throughout its 40 year career. Today, none of the forming members, are still participating in The King's Singers. There were up to now about 20 different King's Singers.

They released many different records going from classical ballads to the more modern pop songs. Always performed with only their voice and sounds. A performance by the Singers is always a mix between the funny faces, little ticks, many little sounds and six beautifull voices trying to conquer the hearts of the audience.

You have to get used to their style of performing but if, in anyway, you appreciate the performance itself, you'll think it's pretty good.

Oh and if anyone doubts. The Barber of Seville is an opera created by Rossini. One never knews when you can score in a quiz or anything with it!

Enjoy !
