Robert Hollingworth looks back at 40 years of the King's Singers' early music repertoire.

To celebrate their 40th anniversary,  Robert Hollingworth talks to 3 past and present members of the King's Singers about their extensive 16th and 17th century repertoire.

Robert hosts a round the table chat and welcomes founder baritone Simon Carrington, who is now Professor of Choral Conducting at Yale University, and two current members of the group, the counter-tenor David Hurley and baritone Christopher Gabbitas. They chat about the early influences of the group in this repertoire and how approaches to this music have changed over the King's Singers 40 years.  Music in the programme includes works by Lassus and Josquin, and an early recording from 1973 of Janequin's La Guerre, plus music from a recent recording of Tenebrae Responsories by Gesualdo.
