Andrew McGregor CD Review, BBC Radio 3
“Die Könner des Genres... zwei Teile King’s Singers, drei Teile Swingle Singers, dazu ein Schuss Bobby McFerrin und kalifornischer Sonnenschein.” CD-Besprechung von Andrew McGregor, BBC Radio 3
VOCES8, the award-winning octet founded in 2003 by ex-choristers of Westminster Abbey, has established itself at the forefront of British a cappella. It has built up an enviable reputation not only for its stunning performances of imaginative arrangements, but also for its innovative education work.
Das preisgekrönte Oktett VOCES8 – im Jahr 2003 von ehemaligen Mitgliedern des Chores von Westminster Abbey gegründet – zählt mittlerweile zur ersten Garde des britischen A-cappella-Gesangs. Nicht nur aufgrund seiner großartigen Interpretationen von einfallsreichen Arrangements, sondern auch durch seine bahnbrechenden Aktivitäten im Bildungsbereich hat es sich einen erstklassigen Ruf erarbeitet.
The VOCES8 A Cappella Songbook includes many of the group’s favourite songs – ranging from folk and classical through to spiritual and pop. The collection features the work of VOCES8’s resident arranger, Jim Clements – himself a singer – whose arrangements have been performed by artists as diverse as Tom Jones, The King’s Singers and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Das VOCES8 A Cappella Songbook enthält einige der beliebtesten Songs des Ensembles, von Volksliedern und klassischen Bearbeitungen über Spirituals bis hin zur Popmusik. Maßgeblichen Anteil an der Sammlung hatte Jim Clements, der ‘Hausarrangeur’ von VOCES8 und selbst Sänger; zu den Interpreten seiner Arrangements zählen so unterschiedliche Künstler wie Tom Jones, die King’s Singers und das Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

Andrew McGregor CD Review, BBC Radio 3
“Die Könner des Genres... zwei Teile King’s Singers, drei Teile Swingle Singers, dazu ein Schuss Bobby McFerrin und kalifornischer Sonnenschein.” CD-Besprechung von Andrew McGregor, BBC Radio 3
VOCES8, the award-winning octet founded in 2003 by ex-choristers of Westminster Abbey, has established itself at the forefront of British a cappella. It has built up an enviable reputation not only for its stunning performances of imaginative arrangements, but also for its innovative education work.
Das preisgekrönte Oktett VOCES8 – im Jahr 2003 von ehemaligen Mitgliedern des Chores von Westminster Abbey gegründet – zählt mittlerweile zur ersten Garde des britischen A-cappella-Gesangs. Nicht nur aufgrund seiner großartigen Interpretationen von einfallsreichen Arrangements, sondern auch durch seine bahnbrechenden Aktivitäten im Bildungsbereich hat es sich einen erstklassigen Ruf erarbeitet.
The VOCES8 A Cappella Songbook includes many of the group’s favourite songs – ranging from folk and classical through to spiritual and pop. The collection features the work of VOCES8’s resident arranger, Jim Clements – himself a singer – whose arrangements have been performed by artists as diverse as Tom Jones, The King’s Singers and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Das VOCES8 A Cappella Songbook enthält einige der beliebtesten Songs des Ensembles, von Volksliedern und klassischen Bearbeitungen über Spirituals bis hin zur Popmusik. Maßgeblichen Anteil an der Sammlung hatte Jim Clements, der ‘Hausarrangeur’ von VOCES8 und selbst Sänger; zu den Interpreten seiner Arrangements zählen so unterschiedliche Künstler wie Tom Jones, die King’s Singers und das Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
