a delight

It's generally on my iPod and never fails to bring a smile to my face when I put it in my ears at work. Hearing the devotional pieces sung in non-classical voices, and so expertly, brings them closer somehow; you find a different kind of sweetness in them. And the jazzy wordless things you kind of know by heart already have a lightness and joy I can't help but believe Bach - and Mozart - would have loved. Good sound.

Classical and Fresh

It's real live classical music - but with a new sound. For the price, you can't beat these 2 discs for Swingle excellence!

Fantastique

Fantastic value for such high quality recordings!!!!

This is an amazing value for 2 cds of phenomenal a cappella group The Swingle Singers. I bought the same cds from virgin Records in 2000 but I ended up giving it to a friend as a present. Am glad to have found this gem here at Amazon for such a low price.

Being a former professional chorale singer myself, the Swingle Singers are just top-notch. Same calibre as that of the King's Singers but mixed voices though. Clean lines, precise, accurate singing. My faves are Badinerie which I use as my MP3 ringtone, Air on a G String and Three-Part Invention.

Check out the King's Singers, The Real Group (from Sweden) and The Singers Unlimited. Ohhhh... Such talent. Thank you!

Great stuff, but a note of caution

I really like The Swingle Singers, but I will leave for others to speak to the musicianship. This offering is great in that you get two discs for one very low price. The one word of caution is that both discs were previously released separately. Bach Hits Back is apparently no longer available as a separate disc. The Mozart disc is available elsewhere, but with a slightly different title. (A Capella Amadeus was the subtitle.)
