Album & Artwork
The album features songs sung in seven different languages, covering almost the entire globe, including Germany, France, England, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Mexico, and New Zealand.
Album & Artwork
The album title 'Everytime' reflects the idea that the album is suitable for any circumstance, mood, or occasion.
Recording & Production
Christopher Bruerton, an active member of the King's Singers and a native New Zealander, coached the quartet for this project.
Performer Biography
The vocal quartet Quartonal has been performing on the concert stage for almost ten years, with their first concert in spring 2007.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The quartet considers four-voice singing to be the most beautiful thing in the world, despite the limitations it poses for repertoire selection, especially for pop songs.
Interpretation
The quartet aims to create arrangements that sound persuasive and sophisticated with only four voices, rather than imitating multi-voiced originals or bands.
