Recorded live in - you guessed it - in Cambridge, this male quintet is a stylistic whisper away from the King's Singers, both in terms of sound and choice of material, though the influence of the Swingles can be felt as well ('The History of Western Music'). The selections on this CD encompass several centuries, beginning with William Byrd's 'Deo Gratias.' Embracing the British folk ballad (Morley and Henry the VIII), and the European classical form (Chopin), the group then travels forward in time to include period classics such as 'Sentimental Journey' and 'The Lambeth Walk,' finishing up with the wholly appropos doo wop closer, 'Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight.'
