And this, folks, is how it's done. Phrasing, blend, harmony, breath control, emotionality, gentleness and sheer beauty of sound are hallmarks of both these premier groups. And to do it together - wow.

[Troubleshooter]

Billy Joel created something extraordinary with this Lullabye and did justice to it on _River of Dreams._ Now VOCES8 and The King's Singers took Billy's creation to a whole 'nother level of exquisite beauty.

Truly jaw-dropping.

Lullabys aren't just for children -- they are for all of

My dog passed away today and I thought of this song. Cookie - you will always be remembered. Good night, my angel; you can now rest in peace.

I’m not crying, you’re crying…
No wait, we’re both crying,

[SimonDavid]

Am I dreaming? Two of my favourite vocal groups together, absolutely magnificent!

[TheFlyingBrain.]

May every child on this planet grow up knowing the love and safety expressed in this song...

These singers are as close to perfection as you can humanly get. Angelic!

I am coming 80. Music has been my life. The number of covers that I have thought were better than the original I can count on one hand. This is one of them, Pure, pure class. Brilliantly written by Billy Joel. But VOCES8 and the Kings singers have taken this beautiful song to a whole new heavenly place.

Oh Halleluja :)! Be blessed All of you. I cried the whole song. I cried because of Jesus mercy to me and my life. I walked through two divorces. Lost my job after 19 years. The only savior in my circumstances through this hard experiences is Jesus. I can only confess He is my savior ! The last time it was at 14th November in year 2020. I felt lost and depressed. I felt I have no future. The Jesus saved me from death and I only can praise him for his endless love to me. He is the only savior to me and for All mankind. Please, give your whole life to him. He love you and have a wonderful plan for you. Many blessing to you :)!

The dislikes prove that there are people on this earth that have no soul.

Well there you have it, a pinnacle of choral music. My favorite male ensemble and my favorite mixed ensemble, singing together. More of this, please ❤️

My Dad used to sing this to me when I was little. He has alzheimers now and while his body is there my Dad is gone. Thank you for the memory even if it hurts like hell

Humans. We can be as profound as the heavens. Why then do we use this power for such spectacular cruelty? If we can do this, we can be so much better.

[ilyasivkov]

I am so excited to see my two favorite ensembles singing together at the first (hope, not the last!) time!

[leelaturanga]

I can never listen to this without weeping. It completely undoes me, I fall apart. I had to sing this in choir during a really tough time in my life. This was sung and arranged so beautifully that the tears flow even harder, your voices, the melody and the words say all that was in my heart.

[timothysmith]

I cannot overstate how exhilarating it is to hear exquisitely talented human beings achieve such a perfect balance & blend of harmonies and, dynamics, without the interference of auto-tune and other, technological atrocities. Pure Heaven!

Boy, what I would give to sit in a corner of that performance setting. I promise not to breathe a whisper.
