Next, we sing the piece called Masterpiece by the English composer Paul Drayton. As the title suggests, Masterpiece is a modest title for a piece with modest pretensions... 😀
Such a delight. The recording fidelity is outstanding, I heard so many more little details than in the old live video. And love the new bars added for the 20th/21st c composers. Thank you guys!!!

Amazing! The performance by the old King's Singers was always my favorite, but now I can add one more gem to my precious collections of calming and comforting music, that always makes me a little happier, when I hear it.❤❤❤
He esperado tanto para escuchar Master Piece con la nueva formación de The Kings Singers! Bravísimo!! Un abrazo desde Quito-Ecuador. Gracias por este regalo para la humanidad!
No wonder we all love this piece--it's magnificent and never more so than in this new incarnation! Truly "There and Back Again," exquisitely sung--and you are all having so much *fun* with it! Bravi!!!
MY dream has come true! I've listened to the original so often that I know it note for note. The new lick of paint was a lovely surprise! So very well done, as always! Much love!
It is very pleasing to hear it in a new "clothing"! I hope you bring it in concert with a new choreography 😂 I can't look forward to meeting you in Varese next year!
Wow, masterfully interpreted! This is one of my favorite line-ups of The King’s Singers in blend, intonation and musicality. Only a pity about the places TH-cam decided I had to hear some ads before continuing listening to you guys. It didn’t exactly ruin the experience, but it surely blemished it.
Amazing singing, but to be honest the humour and the acting of the original version is completely something else! At the same time I personally appreciate the fact the you made a reinterpretation instead of doing the same performance, so well done as always
I have just heard "Masterpiece" on APM's Performance Today. It was my first exposure to Drayton, to this composition, and to The King's Singers. And I am loving it. :) A lot of wit, a lot of charm, and a lot of skill combined into this short piece. Love it.
Оооооо, старий репертуар звучить по-новому. Це скарб!!! Мій улюблений твір, ще й новенького додали! Фантастично😍😍😍😍 Wie schön und wunderbar❤️❤️❤️ And i want to buy this notes!
Great job of re-appropriation of this piece. Not an easy thing to do, and this version does give other views to the piece than the one I used to know. Also nice job of taking the acoustic into account. Thank you guys :)
Love this selection. Such beautiful voices, blend, selections - everything they do is perfection. Had to laugh - they are obviously in such a cold room that from time to time their breath condensation is visible.
required listening for every aspiring choir student. I fell in love with that piece some 20 years ago, still love the updated version. is there a sheet music version available?
In all the KS videos, I wish they’d show Eddie Button and let him sing MUCH more. He’s a beautiful, talented counter-tenor--ought to have a solo career in Baroque and Renaissance music.
I love the fact that they didn't try to copy the previous version one by one, and so although I think it's up to the quality of the previous version, it's a completely different listen. Only the Strauss part is a bit disturbing because of the text change, but you can get used to that too.
Really a Masterpiece of idea, composition and performance! P.S. Let me dare to add to minimalist :) |: Si(Bb)-me(F)-on(Db)-ten(Bb)-Holt(F),Si(Ab)-me(Eb)-on(C)-ten(Ab)-Holt(Eb) :|
Someone: "It's impossible to tell the story of music in short period of time and in an interesting way". The King Singers, reading Paul Drayton's notes: "Hold my beer!" :)
Since it is a given that this lineup have squozen every drop of nonchalant hypercompetence into a fluffily folded casing of airy charisma and served it to us at the carefully calibrated temperature of perfect taste, I shall not go On too much about every shining angle on the timbral prism or every flawless feather in the downy bed of phrasal arc. Everybody knows Julian can beam a line of fluid gold into your heart with the downturn of a Mozartian grazioso. I don't have to spend too many of our collective supply of pixels on the seamless hocket or the undirected unanimity of final consonants. Instead I will note that I thought the camera person was singling Johnny out for an especially cool low-angle Beastie-Boys treatment until I recalled there is really no other way to come at him unless you're a giraffe yourself. His cool is not dependent on your perspective.
We're starting to mythicize Bach. Songs like that are usually adressed to God, aren't they?😅 Edit: ok. I get it now. But saying someone's name like that just sounds too much like worship, if you ask me.🤷
@@wendyscott8425 Well it's not that they are ALWAYS out of tune BY A LOT, none of that. Just some bit where some chord isn't quite clean, a normal group singing like this would be wonderful, but for the KS standard (especially this piece, being sung by previous line ups) I felt it was a bit under the standard
@@francescofgrthe Debussy section and the Wagner were particularly rough, plus they have lost all the character and humour of the piece. There was no distinction between sforzando and substitute piano 8n the Beethoven section. Really disappointed which is not how I wanted to fed
This piece is what introduced me to The King's Singers! So lovely to hear it with this fresh update and gorgeous reverb.

One Of My All Time Favorites By The King's Singers ❤
Mine as well 😊
Such a delight. The recording fidelity is outstanding, I heard so many more little details than in the old live video. And love the new bars added for the 20th/21st c composers. Thank you guys!!!
I cannot explain how long I have been waiting for the newer singers to cover the song.
Same :D
Such glorious singing, and incredible writing. Clever and witty. One of my favourites.

What are the chances that I look this piece up for the first time in years and there's a new recording!
Senza parole. Un vero capolavoro!
Love the addition of the Minimalists.
This should be required listening, um well, everywhere! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
I teach music to children and actually "require" them to listen to this :)
@@Frost67915 Awesome!! I first heard this song when the King Singers were in the original lineup. LOL
Love it!! So glad to hear this updated version of Masterpiece with some new composers into this one!! Bravo!! 👏👏👏
Amazing! The performance by the old King's Singers was always my favorite, but now I can add one more gem to my precious collections of calming and comforting music, that always makes me a little happier, when I hear it.❤❤❤
The Masterpiece is Bach! Love the new additions and the new rendition. Well done!

What an idea!😮…
So beautiful!…🫶…
Wonderful, thank you! ❤
Bravo!!!!!! Bravísimo!!!!!!!! El Gozo de la música a través de esta Maravilla vocal. Un abrazo y mil gracias desde Chile.

It's worth it to pay for premium. That would have driven me crazy!

Super schön!
Total mastery of their craft. Always a delight.
Excelent boys!!!!! Greetings from Argentina.

KING'S SINGERS 💝 All Saints at once! What a gift! ..and Paul Drayton, what a genius! 💙 Thanks a lot for this strepitous gift! Greetings from Sicily
Great vocal athletics! ❤

YUSSSS!!!!
i love this piece and your version. i wanted to watch this at japanese concert.
Hilarious! Thanks for the Saturday smiles. ❤

8:00 what a chord!
Akhirnya salah lagu kesukaanku dinyanyiin lagi! ❤
But i prefer the cam standing in one position, which is center. Just like the old line KS 🤔
Great stuff again. Next time I expect to see a parody of Jacob Collier doing audience choir.
It's funny cuz it's true. 😂 Well done as always, gentlemen. 💜🎵

Are the updated scores available anywhere?
Omg Eric whitacre part made me laugh so hard. Byrd will always be my favorite part though.
Beethoven was amusing!
For that first song at the Mozart part, what is that piece?
original piece name*
Surely that SOP is related somehow to Daniel Radcliffe
Does the cold environment improve acoustics or something?
🤣 das hat Pfiff!
The older video was my entire personality for MONTHS! I'm about to become insufferable with sharing this one as well lol
Why has every singer a normal music stand but one has an oven grate???
Beautiful sounding but I miss the entertaining and clever performance skills of the KS "Dream Team" from their Cadogan Hall performance.
preferisco la versione precedente era anche divertente
Where is David Guetta , shame on u #TheKingsSingers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

These TH-cam adds randomly interrupting... 🤬
Точность ощущения стиля, безупречная техника, мягкий юмор. Чувство меры не подводит ни разу. Спасибо!
Camera angles are too jumpy. Made me a bit nauseous.

It's ok not to have perfect pitch, but this is a bit too much
What do you mean?
@@timepanini intonation was a bit cloudy
@@francescofgr It was? Dang, it sounded pretty darn perfect to me! And I do have a very good ear.

« Mussolini » ? Although I have listened to this piece about a dozen of times, I had never noticed this one ! Thank you for the laughter !
Brilliant!
