Street Songs (1998)/ The King's Singers, Evelyn Glennie

The King's Singers zijn op 17 januari 2010 in het Muziekcentrum in Enschede, doch niet met dit programma. "On the one hand, we have a series of King's Singers commissions from Johannesburg and the Western Cape, culminating in the Zulu chants of Stanley Glasser's Lalela Zulu (literally "Listen to things Zulu"). On the other hand, a commissioned work, Street Songs, that is the combined effort of The King's Singers, Evelyn Glennie and composer Steve Martland. The heart of this album, which has to contend not only with Street Songs but with some solo percussion works performed by Evelyn Glennie, is surely the choral works by Peter Klatzow, Peter Louis Van Dijk and Stanley Glasser, which all explore aspects of South African culture. All three pieces are brilliantly performed here by the King's Singers." (Gramophone 11, 1998)
