What I’m Listening To This Week

July 3, 2012 at 9:37 pm UTC

Just discovered Platinum Consort, a terrific new UK choir. Bought their latest album and am LOVING it – clean, healthy, lusty singing. Highly recommended.

    Yes, the platinum consort sound really good.

  • Gail Steele

    Platinum Consort are fabulous. They have a concert at Kings Place on September 1st. The accoustically perfect place to hear them live.

    It’s funny cause I’m 17 and should be listening to pop, but something attracts me to this music, and I really cannot make it stop. And I play sports and had no clue what music was until two years ago, it was a remarkable discovery, like a found the Lost Arch, I don’t know why I am driven to choir music, and general music, but I am its like an addiciton. I sometimes try to write as well. What ever it is keep it coming!

    Beautiful group and music. The soprano(s) at 4:03 just won’t back down. Good for her.

    Just found the Virtual Choir. I penned a new chat-word for it. W.O.W

Virtual Choir 4: Bliss
