Complete a Capella Sessions

Complete a Capella Sessions

Two CD set featuring three original all a capella albums from The Singers Unlimited. A capella group singing is an art that separates the vocal masters from the second-rate. With no bass player to anchor the pitch and no drummer to control the rhythm, the singers need to have the strictest musical virtues: faultless intonation and time, a harmonic sense to equal any orchestral section player, the ability to subordinate the self to an ensemble that thinks and hears as one. Few groups, if any, have taken the art of a capella to such dizzying heights as The Singers Unlimited. Between 1970 and 1980, this quartet of American jingle and studio singers recorded fifteen LPs in Germany. Their three A Capella albums, gathered in this set, are milestones of their kind: a wedding of extraordinary vocal technique and studio technology that could never be replicated live. Four voices became a symphony of overdubbed lines, with so many intricacies of harmony, rhythm, and dynamics that only a musician could pinpoint all the subtleties. Universal. 2006.
