Harmonious Blacksmith - The New Swingle Singers

[TheOldObserver]

I like it EXCEPT THE LONG AND BORING COMMENTARY at the beginning and at the end; these two persons like to listen to themselves speak (and I really don't).

[zumachu]

The host sounds like Bill McGlaughlin. The guy who hosts the exploring music radio show.

[mruthardt]

love the tenor triples!

[funzup]

awesome!

[Frankadelphia]

Utterly remarkable.

[rodders2yk]

A super piece. 'Harmonious Blacksmith' prompted Herbert Pocket to bestow the familiar name of Handel on Pip.

Like the "old" Swingle Singers, these one is exceptional.

I am amazed about what they are able to do with their voices, quite with the same colors of the instruments.

Try to listen the old recording. Fantastic too.

[Operabrooklyn]

Amazing!

[recorderson]

awesome! Thanks for posting.

Omega125th, thank you for posting. I heard the St. Paul Sunday Morning program when it originally aired, even made a cassette of it, but it was incomplete. I wrote to them years later asking if I could get a copy of that program, but they said that was impossible due to the rights of the performers. Do you have the entire program?

[omega125th]

my local broadcast of the program was wned-buffalo....they aired this particular show twice.

this was the second of two shows NSS did w St Paul Sunday Morning about 1.5 years apart in the early 80s (and what great shows! many listeners wrote in to give their complements)

i have snippets of both shows of which you can view/listen in my upload section

am slowly sharing my collection of NSS performances on YouTube

[jkhalsa]

I'm not so well-versed in youtube. What do you mean by your 'upload' section, omega25th?

[palliaut]

Voices like perfectly instrument near of the dors of the sky.

[contessabrilliante]

Cool!

[IpsaPaphum]

Nice! Just wondering did the Swingle Singers do Bach's Kunst der Fuge?

[barakvesh]

They've done a few of the contrapunctum. I don't think they've done the whole work.

[BALDASSARREBRENTANI]

Since I have played this piece seem that they have performed the entire work (all the variations).

It is very difficult for the voices...

[noupos]

One of my favourite classical music piece, and it's quite nice with the swingle singers

[mercoid]

Is this from the awesome public radio show, St Paul's Sunday Morning?

[yamahabro]

The host indeed sounds like Bill McGlaughlin, but his voice seems a little higher than normal.
