5 out of 5 stars Great sound and great song!.......2007-05-19

I loved the song "A New Day" after hearing it on the radio. I tracked it down and ordered the CD. All the songs are terrific.

5 out of 5 stars Along with the Good Vibrations are my favorites.......2007-05-15

Own it! It's all worth it!
"You are the new day" is my personal favorite song.

4 out of 5 stars My dad loves it.......2007-02-13

If he likes it then I am happy. Not my cup of tea. I like the idea that there where some Beatles tunes. Dad is 57 I am 36 might be the difference in age. NOt sure. Just not my cup of tea

5 out of 5 stars Great Album!.......2006-04-22

I was very amazed when I first heard this album. Their sound is like no other. They are so unique that you can't compare them to other acapella groups.

I can say that their sound is better than a mixed choir because even though the King's Singers is only composed of 6 members. Their sound volume can beat a 30 member choir due to the quality of their voice.

My favorite is "It Was Almost Like A Song" because of the countertenor's very light voice. The baritone part was also awesome as he dominated the scene when he took the melody.

Overall, great album. This has to be one of the King's Singers best albums released. All songs are great that you can't resist missing a moment on listening it.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful singing; clever arrangements.......2002-06-14

I have been a fan of The King's Singers since their debut recording thirty years ago. New Day is one of my favourite albums. It has the terrific optimistic song "New Day," but many other wonderful tracks.

"Can't Buy Me Love" is sung as if it had been written by one of the Renaissance madrigal writers when he was in a very good mood. There are other up tempo tracks like this one, including Abba's "Money, Money, Money" and "The Rhythm of Life," but the CD also includes some romantic, lush singing in songs such as "Three Times A Lady," "The Summer Knows" and "It Was Almost Like A Song."

The clever arrangement of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic?" begins with an extract from a sombre Chopin Prelude in C minor.

Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice Collection.......2007-03-05

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT!.......2006-10-26

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

5 out of 5 stars Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

5 out of 5 stars More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Clubs and Smoke.......2006-08-18


This is the second time I had to find an album by Nina, my first was stole...the other was a smaller compilation, though some of the songs are remakes they do not take from the original artist but rather give a different tone to the words. Her unique voice gives a feeling of being in a club with the lights dimmed. An un-regrettable addition to anyone's music collection.

5 out of 5 stars Tribute to a Great Lady.......2003-07-12

This is an absolutely must for fans of Nina and the best of her works. It took me back years, I owned the album and was thrilled to find the CD.

3 out of 5 stars not a bad compilation.......2006-06-25

Although this cd is by no means the Ultimate Summer Playlist it proclaims itself to be, it stands up well under repeated plays. There are 15 songs here compiled by Napster and they cover the spectrum from Mammas & Papas to The Faling Lips. I ripped almost half of the songs to my MP3 player. If you are into edgy music you could probably add another star. I did love that the cd, when played on your computer, links you up to Napster.com.uk and provides a code for a free 30-day trial. Overall, I have no complaints but it isn't part of my favorites cd collection.

    5 out of 5 stars breathless.......2006-05-31

    The sound from harnoy;s cello is enough to make me cry. she produces such tone and anyone that doesnt agree is uneducated. what can i say elanor rigby the phrassing outstanding ofra has been and still is one of my favorite cellist.

    4 out of 5 stars Beatles Like I've Never Heard Before.......2005-02-10

    I borrowed this CD from the library out of curiosity and what a delightful suprise. The interpretation of Beatles music is wonderfully simple - I especially love the different variations done with the same tune in some of the pieces giving them a fresh sound. Harmonies between cello and violin in "Norwegian Wood", "Across the Universe" and "Girl" are mesmerising. Mostly played with a slow tempo, this is great soothing music after a stressful day. This CD is definitely worth purchasing for a twist in popular Lennon-McCartney compositions.

    4 stars for song selection, otherwise 5 stars for interpretation.

    1 out of 5 stars Interesting Cover, but Bad CD.......2004-06-05

    I can not believe that Ofra is even famous. Her playing is so stiff and lacks phrasing. Her tone quality is horrible. The only reason that she makes recordings is because her father is rich and he bought her a several million dollar cello and paid symphony orchestras to let her play solos with them. But, it is interesting to hear a cellist play the Beatles. Only buy this CD if you have boughten every cd on this webstite and have a little money left over.

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Relaxing.......2004-05-21

    The Beatles and Ofra Harnoy! The best of both worlds! What more could you ask for? A friend gave me this CD, and I have enjoyed listening to this right before bedtime every night. Ms. Harnoy, I applaud you for making some of the finest renditions of my favorite Beatles tunes. If you're a semi-professional classical musician like me and you don't have this in your CD collection, you're missing out--Big Time!!! 5 + stars for a wonderful CD!!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Lovely and powerful.......2002-01-01

    Before you write this off as another attempt to "muzak" the Beatles, listen to Harnoy's lovely playing on "She's Leaving Home," "Across The Universe" and "Girl" and see if you still feel that way once you've heard them. A great set of interpretations by a most evocative cellist.

    5 out of 5 stars Very nice cover of beatles music.......2004-08-03

    This is a very nice adaptation of Beatles music. The arrangements are quite original with just enough of the familiar melodies to feel comfortable. This is a nice companion to "Friends".

    5 out of 5 stars 'Norwegian Wood' the BEST Beatles tribute album ever!.......2001-07-24

    Danish insturmentalists Trio Rococo's absolutely stunning and beautiful 1995 album "Norwegian Wood" is one of those hidden treasures, a diamond in the rough, waiting to be discovered by YOU. Simply, it is the best Beatles tribute album ever. For any fan of string/woodwinds, insturmental trios, and the Beatles of course, this is absolutely an ESSENTIAL album to have. Stunning arrangements of such Beatles hits as "Eleanor Rigby", "Here Comes The Sun" (my favorite), "Daytripper", "I am the Walrus", and "Blackbird" are recreated with the same inginuity and creativity in which they were originally written and created, and in such a incredible fashion that it's absolutely... beyond words. I strongly recommend getting this album, at any cost or expense. It's WORTH IT!

    5 out of 5 stars Strong Music In Its Own Right.......2000-02-26

    This album is most immediately recommended to those who already know the songs. Putting on "Because" and filling in the words in your own mind while the instruments play the classic song in a whole new way permits you whole new insights into how it is that, because the world is round, it turns me on -- insights the Beatles themselves may not have had when they first recorded the tune. On the other hand, this is strong classical music with a character all its own, and can be enjoyed entirely as that as well -- my girlfriend Sarah and I like to put it on for our romantic moments.

    5 out of 5 stars Well crafted and beautifully rendered.......2000-02-20

    This is not some sappy boiled down elevator music. But rather, these are interestingly arranged and artfully performed renditions of some of the Beatles' most enduring tunes. The Trio Rococo plays them like the classics that they are.

    5 out of 5 stars A must-have CD........1999-01-06

    Norwegian Wood is a wonderful CD to have in your collection. It is a collection of Beatles songs redone in a classical style. Even if you are not a Beatles fan, the music is wonderful to relax to. And if you are a Beatles fan, you'll enjoy your favorites in different way.
