Music for a while
Shall all your cares beguile
Wond'ring how your pains were eas'd...
The King's Singers, with countertenor (and sometimes breakdancer) Jakub Józef Orliński.

My strongest association with The King’s Singers is all of the old EMI albums my parents has around, so seeing them dressed like this is kind of amazing.

Boy, I don't love countertenors, I almost always prefer a richer, freer, ringing sound of a tenor or female singer. But I do find something special in Alfred Deller's earlier recordings, especially of this song, not because he is better in those respects than other countertenors, just that I find the voice and the natural interpretation far more expressive than most.
