Quer Bach Arrangements Pour Ensemble à Cappella Dœuvres De Bach Ensemble Slixs

These singing artists create an awesomely organic, unified sound that even drops the jaws of a cappella masters: A captivated Ward Swingle, founder of the legendary Swingle Singers, praised the band saying, “Your style is unique,” while King’s Singer, Gabriel Crouch, named SLIXS “better than any group (he’s) ever heard!”. Not only that but also its extensive international acclaim makes this sextet currently one of the best vocal ensembles in the world. They were honored with some of the worlds highest awards for vocal art, including Best Jazz Song of the Year (2008) and Best Folk/World Song of the Year (2013) at the CARA (Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award) as well as two Ward Swingle Awards and three Golden Diplomas at “Vokal Total” (2006) in Graz, Austria. The music on this CD QUER BACH was originally developed as a soundtrack for the motion picture “MENSCH KOTSCHIE“ by Norbert Baumgarten. It was the ambition to arrange instrumental music by Johann Sebastian Bach for just the human voice. SLIXS has tried to approach these phenomenal compositions with the SLIXS-own distinct curiousness and delight in playing around, but all along with the respect for the great musical master as a permanent companion. All vocalises appearing on this CD are fififi ctitious. Any resemblance to real languages, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
