Customer Reviews:

Flats and Sharps.......2007-05-18

I enjoy the Swingle Singers very much but sadly, in this album they are flat on about half of the tracks. When they are on key, they are very, very good. When they are flat they are awful. Recommendation: buy a different Swingle Singers CD.

Still new... and fantastic.......2007-03-25

As time goes by, these recordings seem to become better and better. Fresh, perfect... fantastic CD.

A Swingle Singers Half Treasure -.......2007-03-10

If you love Bach and are a fan of the Swingle Singers, buy this CD. Fans of the Swingle Singers enjoy them for what they do to music - release it with air and bounce - and their style is perfectly suited for Bach. I couldn't enjoy it more. But the second Cd in this set is their treatment of Mozart, and, for me, it's inconsistent. This is due to the different styles of the two composers and I just think they match up better with Bach. But at this price, I shouldn't be complaining. The first CD alone is worth twice as much. Snatch it up!

A capella reigns.......2007-01-12

Another fine offering by this group. Fun for classical music buffs and novices.

Best Swingles Ever.......2006-02-16

If you know the Swingle Singers, you may expect jazzed-up Bach with a rhythm section. Now, don't get me wrong, i like that stuff, too, but that is just clean fun, while this is just Bach. No percussion, no jazzy rythym, just straight unaccompanied Bach. AND IT IS WONDERFUL.
Precise rhythm, clear vocal lines, everything you expect from the Swingles without the jazz. This is a really great album that should be bought by all Swingle lovers and all Bach lovers.
P.S. i bought this cd when it first came out,so I have never even heard the Mozart. With all due deference to fans of the worthy Wolfgang, i have always found the artful Amadeus rather a bore, so I will remain silent about that part of the album. No matter. The Bach alone is worth twice the price, so enjoy. And, hey, the Mozart is a nice bonus.

Customer Reviews:

Background or Foreground?.......2001-07-31

Experience pleasant and enjoyable a capella realizations of Bach preludes, fugues, chorale and instrumental numbers. The Swingle Singers render some as vocal transcriptions of Bach's original, instrumental music, and others as jazz arrangements. Their hymn-like rendition of Ein Feiste Burg (A Mighty Fortress) bounces into a light and jazzy scatting of "Organ Fugue from Fantasia and Fugue." They perform 21 excerpts from Bach, none of which are too obtrusive for background music, yet all are excellent enough to listen to while doing nothing but enjoying the music.

Bach was a technical genius, and the Swingle Singers have the talent and creativity to bring his music alive, translating it into new idioms successfully. Worth every chord of five stars.

Swingle again.......2001-06-03

In the late 60's the Swingle Singers used to be a new advent. An inovative exercise on J.S.Bach. Now, revisited, there's a great pleasure to rear again the famous Badinerie and many other inspiring tunes like the Air on G string and the rarelly recorded Luther "Ein Feste Burg". The singers are much "Swingle" and the late harmonies comes alive. The arrangements are quite fresh although a bit diferent on the bass. At the end we find oursefs "swinging and marking". A recording to be listened on and on.

An original and charming interpretation of Bach.......1999-07-31

The Swingle Singers have been around for a while, but I think they are just hitting their stride with this release. They do an incredible job of interpreting Bach, and not just the pieces written for voice! This is a fresh, charming and, sometimes amusing, interpretation of Bach's work. I particularly enjoyed "Air on a G string" and "Little Organ Fugue."

The Bach cd impressed me so much, I've just ordered their Mozart offering..."Acapella Amadeus."
