  • Is that the new kiwi guy singing counter-tenor (the alto part)?

  • @Nederlands96 .. No the New-ish countertenor is Tim, the newbie will be taking over Philip's place as a Baritone, He will be standing in-between Paul and Chris Gabbitas.. Oh the New Bari is also called Chris.. should be interesting, I wonder if the 'guys'; will give his a nick-name 'Chris~two or something... No doubt he will be Brilliant, because all Kings Singers are.. David will then be 'Daddy' as the longest serving member..

    Hope this helps :0)x

  • @Nederlands96 .. Tim took over from Robin Tyson, who in earlier Kings Singer posts is the VERY TALL fellow standing in-between David Hurley and Paul Phoenix..

    Just looked on the Kings Singers official site and the new Baritone's name is Christopher Bruerton from Christchurch New Zealand..

    Best regards from Wales .. :0)x

  • So beautiful :')

  • The counter-tenor, i love his voice

  • OM!!! that cnt be him.. he's getting bigger..hehe.. bUt still, love the voice.. splendid bass.!!!

  • oh wow. i have the chills. this is already one of my favorite songs but this...this was so beautiful. thank you for posting this

  • my god he got big

  • Are there any videos of the new bass, jonathan howard?

  • @123MrBubblez very few currently, i don't think he's been with the group for too long as of yet.

  • Wonderful!

  • The soloist is amazing

  • can anybody please tell me if this performance is available on dvd? preferably region 2, my local stores in England can find no reference. Thank you.

  • @plasticpaddymartin1 The performance was not recorded for sale. The videos from the concert that I posted were part of a special promotion between TKS and Classics Online.

  • @magenta687 Thank you for your prompt reply, and thank you for posting the performances , so that so many may enjoy them. Regards Martin.

  • @MauriceFFM: A little bit of weight makes a bass even more masculine, doesn't it? :-) Will definitely miss Stephen - he is really a wonderful bass!

  • This song makes me cry

  • this is the first song by ks that i ever heard, and it keeps a special place in my heart.

  • Eine ausgezeichnete Wahl, Stefan! Bis auf das "Verstandnis" hat der Stephen deinen deutschen Text gut und klar vorgetragen, gel? Dir und Anja "alles Gute"die Zukunft. Yet another excellent performance from the King´s Singers!!

  • I saw (heard) the King's Singers live at Ravinia many years ago. Before and since, I have always thought their sound utterly sublime and as gentile as can be, even with larger sounds. WONDERFUL WORK, GUYS!.. Also try Chanticleer for another similar group.

  • is this the mr. beanish bass singer? if so, he gained a lot of weight, didn´t he?

  • @MauriceFFM That's Stephen Connolly, the bass that recently left the group. He was actually heavier at one point many years ago, then lost a significant amount of weight, then gained a bit back, probably closer to his natural weight.

  • @magenta687 STEPHEN CONNOLLY IS MY FAVORITE!!!

  • Sublime!

  • aww thats nice

    good luck to him

    he has such a gift

  • what happened to robin?

  • @dreamsofpsilocybin7 He retired to spend more time with his family. He has young children.

  • @dreamsofpsilocybin7 Robin stopped singing with the King's Singers, but is still active behind the screen. He is still singing, but not as fequent as when he was in the KS. He's now manager of a group, a consultant for others and making compilation cd's for a few companies.

  • I absolutely adore the king's singers...  this song is beautiful.

  • I will BE one of the King's Singers one day.. nothing like them in the world.

  • Can't even find words for this, it's so pure :)

  • At the start of this piece we see Stephen Connolly... (bass) AND he is leaving after 22 years in the group... He finishes in Sept 2010 and his replacement is called Johnny (Johnathon) Howard steps into very large shoes in Oct 2010... Good luck both gentlemen in your new careers, and Kings Singers keep doing what you always do, giving us WONDERFUL music like this.. Yep... I'm crying again but it really is SO beautiful... *sighs* :0)x

  • @wenglishsal

    The bass is actually leaving? I went to a concert yesterday and I saw them in this exact version - Stephen was singing as well.

  • @blubbafisch ... YPE Stephen leaves at the end of this month (Sept) and Johhn Howard steps in to some very large shoes... I wish them both well in their new careers... Stephen is going to a University in the south of England and Johnny... well he is going to travel all over the world now... GOOD LUCK GENTS... Oh did I say I ADORE 'The KIng's Singers'.. have been a fan since the late 70's early 80's... AWESOME group... AHH ... *sighs and sips a coffee* :0)x

  • @wenglishsal from the late 70's, then you must have seen my favourite time of the kings singers (with bill ives and brian kay). I was born way too late that i can only see them thru videos.

  • @Hisname22 ... Yes, they used to be ion BBC2 quite a lot and Brian always tooted his pitch whistle... hee hee ... before they all sang... The very awesome Bill is on here along with Brian singing 2 numbers... 'Short People and Barber of Saville'... Both totally brilliant and very funny too.. Best wishes from a very wet Wales tonite :0)x

  • What a song and what a singers ! The best acapella group in the world. Fantastic !

  • Do not miss to see (and hear) them live if you get the chance. I went to Gothenburg, Sweden, may 2010, to hear them. Absolutely fantastic consert!!!

  • The low note at 3:39 always gives me shivers. They are amazing. The 2nd guy from the left - he's new I'm assuming?

  • @AnonymousViewer1 - Yes, that's Timothy Wayne-Wright who replaced Robin Tyson.

  • Absolutely exquisite.. pure, beautiful and it made me cry too... Wonderful simply wonderful... @magenta687 you are a star for posting all the series.. Many many thanks... :0)x

  • @wenglishsal

    Makes me cry every time, too. :)
