Quite lovely. Clausen's rendition may be the more popular, but this really is a very nice arrangement of the poem as well. With a group as prestigious as the King's Singers involved, it'd be hard to go wrong anyway. Great voices, great music... Two thumbs directed skyward in my humble opinion.
Ooh lovely... I think the voices are Kings Singers from around the 80's... Correct me if I'm wrong... But it is beautiful anyway... Many thanks for posting this truly splendid Kings Singers version of this song... :0)x
You're probably right. This song is on a KS CD, Watching The White Wheat from 1986, although unfortunately I have no way to verify whether it's this same version. According to the CD label, the tenor is sung by Bill Ives (and it definitely does sound like him), so if Wikipedia's right that he left the KS in 1984, it was published after he'd left.
This I think is the most romantic version I have ever heard

It is Phillip Lawson's voice.
