That has to be one of the finest amen's ever written.

[cpjds1]

I agree 100%! So incredible.

[especkss]

fantastic, paul's range is incredible. they're all terrific. without a doubt the finest male a capella group in the world and for that matter choir. Tallis scholars come close and then the Sixteen but they dont have the purity and expression of the King's Singers

I now know this was written originally for Queen Elizabeth 1st, by William Byrd, but how apt it is, because our Queen Elizabeth in in her 60th year, of glorious and continuous reign...

Well done Ma'am..

LONG LIVE QUEEN ELIZABETH 2nd .. :0)x

@bigjdc close. the amen in Buxtehude's "Der Herr ist mit mir" is A-MA-ZING! and the amen in Dominico Scarlatti's "Stabat mater"!!!!!!

[SFsuperforte]

@especkss yeah, I see what you mean. And I will concede that David is my favorite countertenor of all time.

[especkss]

@SFsuperforte chanticleer is great too; I probably should have included them as well. However, I do think the King's Singers are considerably better. The King's Singers just seem to mesh better to me (probably because there are only six of them) and I definitely prefer their countertenors (not to say the ones in Chanticleer aren't great-they are- but the King's Singer's sound purer and more controlled to me). But Chanticleer is still top 5 or 6 for me

[SFsuperforte]

@especkss hey, what do you think of Chanticleer!?! I'm curious as to why you don't consider them to be in the ranks of the King's Singers, Tallis Scholars and Sixteen. I personally prefer Chanticleer, but I'd like to hear why you like these other groups more.

[SFsuperforte]

@tomski3 too true. I went to one of their concerts many months ago, and not only was it great, world-class singing, but it was also hilarious. they are such gifted performers and are great at incorporating humor into their performances.

[SFsuperforte]

@especkss what about Chanticleer?

[TFreckle]
