[tenor9216]

too bad this is not on the CD !

[Pretendkid]

@tenor9216 it's not on the CD? NOOOOOOOOO :'(

[Matteo7419]

I think they sung it pretty well but they had interely lost the onomatopoeic possibilities this piece offers. Actually they misunderstood some italian words, for example "poltron": the singer says "the man would'nt had be treaten as a grand chair", but "poltrone" is a popular word for "lazy", so in this moment of the song he says he won't be lazy if the lady accept to love him...

[m1c1fraser]

Jumpers almost as good as the singing.

[straumeeee]

Abefales på det sterkeste! I tillegg - se King's Singers tolkning av Beatles! For å være ærlig: Sjekk av alt King's Singers har spilt inn!

I had the privilege to hear their rendering of this song 3 decades ago or so and at that time I was very impressed and that impression has never faded away. Given the meaning of the lyrics, which I took over time some pains to decipher, this is surely one of the best, if not simply THE best interpretation of this madrigal ever.

[outsider950]

non le porta un rognone...dice: grasse come rognon.

e non la considera una poltrona! ma è lui a dire di se stesso che non sarà poltrone (cioè pigro).

[jillgivler]

How lovely if they could have performed without the narrator babbling over the top! Shut Up, Narrator!!!!

[semioschkina]

That's it! Eventually somebody dares to perform with the original words!

[arkibet]

What I love is that they're arranged from highest to lowest voice... or from Tallest (highest voice) to shortest (lowest voice). Coincidence?

[joanna4659]

They're the best!

[lelloferraro]

Tremendous! Nothing to say about the performance: I love K. S. and for this reason I thought to write now May I add a minor correction? Well, armchair (poltrona) has not much to do with a lazy man (poltrone); the lyric, hence, means more or less If you love me I wont be a lazybone, like a (battering) ram Ill bang against all night long! don don don

Sincerely

[beginner57]

And before his references as a lover(I butt like a ram) he says: I'm a good hunter, and I will carry you woodcocks as fat as kidneys :-)

[hippiechick95]

We're doing this for one of our chorus songs!

[neverforeverkate]

how many voices are in the chorus? This song sounds great with just a handful of people.

[wazzita]
