The original group was French and they were singing together in the 60's. They were amazing - this group is very good too (English though, not French). The French group did a lot of interpretations of Bach which were amazing. Ward Swingle was the arranger. A genius.

The Swingle Singers are a mostly a cappella vocal group formed in 1962 in Paris, France with Ward Swingle, Anne Germain, Jeanette Baucomont and Jean Cussac. Christiane Legrand, the sister of composer Michel Legrand, was the lead soprano in the original French group. There are a total of eight members in the group: two sopranos, two altos, two tenors and two basses

In 1973, the original French group disbanded and Ward Swingle moved to London and re-formed the group with new members as Swingle II. They would later perform and record under the name The Swingles and then, The New Swingle Singers and eventually, simply, The Swingle Singers. Since the London group's incarnation, the group has never disbanded. Members have come and gone and the other members have re-auditioned for the voice part that has left.

We saw this edition of the group when they played in Philadelphia. Ward Swingle himself was with them. Fantastic performance. I have 2 copies of the LP which has been out of print for a long time but I think it was the best of the British Swingles. Exceptional wash Jonathan Rathbone, tenor and arranger.

Rathbone's inspired arrangement, and precious performance.
