About Retrospective: The 40th Anniversary Show
This is a celebration of 40 years of arguably the world's most famous and longest-running a cappella group. The current mixed-voice octet has gone back to its roots, teaming up with a world-class jazz rhythm section for this live CD to recreate both the look and sound of the original Swingles as it performs the greatest hits of the '60s and '70s, beginning and ending, of course with the composer on whose music the group was founded, J.S. Bach. The first part of the program includes four Bach gems, then four from Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and three Spanish Romantic pieces. We get a glimpse of the Swingle's future, Dejeuner sur l'herbe by Parisian composer Pascal Zavaro, who is currently writing an opera with the group.
