Who is performing the song playing on this webpage?

Bonus question: is this typical of her (their) sound?

From the page source it looks like it might be the swingle singers. If the file name is to be trusted they sing the largo from Bach's harpsichord concerto in f minor.

Check out the source code on the page: the Swingle Singers' adaptation of Bach's "Largo" from the Harpsichord Concerto in F Minor. Version found here.

Never heard of Swingle Singers, but she sounds a little like Enya.

I was going to say Swingle Singers, you can find their records in thrift stores all the time. Good stuff for sampling.

Response by poster: I heard a bit of Enya in it too, but fresh and soothing like Enya was the first time I heard her, not like the 3,000th time I heard her!
