Quartonal – Everytime: A Capella (2017) [Qobuz FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz]

The a cappella ensemble Quartonal is one of the most promising vocal groups to emerge from Germany in recent years. Following their highly successful debut CD, this second album features outstanding a cappella settings ranging from George Michael’s “Faith” and Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” to beautiful traditional numbers. The choir won First Prize at the German National Choir Competition in the Vocal ensemble category. They were also awarded the “audience and jury awards” at the ‘A Capella’ contest in Leipzig as well as winning the ‘Tolosako Abesbatza Lehiaheta’ choir competition in Tolosa (Spain). Their first album “Another Way – English Vocal Music” was met with critical acclaim in 2013 and received glowing reviews. Quartonal performs music from across the male voice repertoire, alongside folksongs and pop music. The choir is committed to working with contemporary composers such as Philip Lawson and arrangers Patrick Prestel and Christoph Gerl. The seamless combination of classical and contemporary vocal music has become a trademark of their concerts.
