“These men are phenomenal: as fresh as a blade of grass, tightly focused and keenly expressive.”

“They are, to put it directly, one of the world’s best.”

“Chanticleer fascinates and enthralls for much the same reason a fine chocolate or a Rolls Royce does: through luxurious perfection.”

“I can’t think of another ‘orchestra of voices’ that can shuttle with such proficiency from Renaissance polyphony to gospel, contemporary classical to jazz.”

“The twelve men on this team of spectacular vocalists handily fill the pews of the church sanctuary every visit because of their stellar artistry and their impressive repertoire of pieces commissioned by Chanticleer or specifically arranged for the capabilities of this elite ensemble….they sing with an incomparable urban—and urbane—joie de vivre.”

“Among the most versatile and virtuoso singers anywhere. They have style, and they have class. They also have an infallible sense of pitch, a very flexible ensemble and a deeply ingratiating sound.”

“Chanticleer’s stage presence was eye-catching in its precision and its elegance … However, it was the mellifluous singing with its seamless blending of voices and effortless polyphony in Palestrina’s Gaude gloriosa that was more astounding still.”

“America’s a cappella pride and joy.”

“The singing of Chanticleer is breathtaking in its accuracy of intonation, purity of blend, variety of color and swagger of style.”

“Chanticleer could sing the Turtles’ greatest hits and make them sound like heavenly hosannas. That’s how extraordinary it is, this 12-voice male choir. It produces a sound of sheer beauty. It’s an oasis in a noisy and disturbing world.”
