I would suggest using binders with the plastic pages (where you can put individual pages in the plastic covers) to prevent the wind from blowing the pages annoyingly around.
Guys, dont speak too soon about the new bass. Stephen was in KS for 23yrs, and he had changed a lot through out. There is certainly room and time for the new bass to adjust and fit in.
They are the King's Singers... However did anyone notice how they were not as perfect as they are suppose to be? Just a thought... I miss Stephen's sound:( The new guy is to bright to be a BASS.
Nooit gedacht dat iemand een concert van de Ks om zeep kon helpen, maar warempel, het is Tijl Beckand gelukt. De heren zongen goed onder barre omstandigheden, maar Tijl's presentatie zoog op alle vlakken. Past niet in het plaatje.
Never thought that someone could ruin a KS concert, but great heavens, the host managed it. The gentlemen of the KS sung very well under terrible circumstances, but the host sucked. Complete out of line.
A varied concert with a touch of British humor on late night on the Hofvijver.
Their extensive repertoire that spans several centuries, the King's Singers have selected appropriate music. The men suffer one moment shipwrecked on the Hofvijver, then they are drunken sailors who love singing. But Johannes Brahms passes, and Blackbird by the Beatles and the final close harmony you hear the perfect harmony and impeccable timing of The King's Singers.
I have no idea what everyone's problem with this comes from. Excellent performance. And I've had the opportunity of hearing Johnny in person at an indoor concert, and he is just fine. Great job KS!
A tour de force performance considering the obstacles of late night, bad weather, and rather strange venue. However, the bass sound was too weak and wimpy to be effective and did not provide the unique bass anchor of sound we have come to expect from KS: makes me miss Stephen Connelly terribly, Maybe its just an issue of Johnny finding his comfort zone, but he needs more volume and gravitas to be an effective anchor to the group ,IMHO. David, as usual, was beyond phenomenal.
@KSfan4ever In fairness to Johnny, we've been listening to Stephen for 23 years, so any change in the bass sound will be a shock. Also, he just has a different voice - Stephen is big and theatrical to say the least! Allow some change!
@Spudbass I completely agree with that sentiment and must add that i find the new bass to be a great fit for the group. I also am a huge fan of Stephen because of his tonality and strength as a singer. As a bass myself I enjoy listening to stephan on a sort of fanboy level. For the group however I find that the new bass blends easier with the others. In older videos, the Soprano and stephans voices stuck out and that seems to be against what the kings singers strive for.
@angryred101 nicking pits...they've always had great blend. Stephen was excellent as is the new Bass, but I think you're right that the blend, at least in this concert, is really nice right now.
Wonderful concert!! Beautiful Spanish songs, even more beautiful Brahms, very sensitive, great close harmony pieces and Rhythm of Life as a closing flourish - all in the middle of night with rain and fog blowing + the audience not close. They connected with the people and had fun anyway. Amazing dat was! KS are truly without equal.
I don't like ! tricotea and bomba are not well interpretated (the attack of bomba awful!), the bass is unfortunatly not enough strong! and please word the spanish pronunciation (very special the english olé!) few extracts wrong! Sad thing for a group reputated to be the best!
In my opinion, from 1:04:26 onward it just goes downhill :(
