About the Artist
David Berryhill, a native of east Texas, answered the call to ministry and has been leading praise and worship for Rose Heights Church in Longview, TX for the last 3 years. All of the music in "Answer The Call" was written by David.

Product Description
"Answer The Call" was birthed out of a need for Christian music that contains a strong missions message. Each and every song on this album, though beautiful and fun to listen to, has a very direct call to being a witness and missionary for the Lord Jesus Christ. This CD makes for easy listening in the car or at home, but is equally well suited for use in the church setting as a backdrop for Missions Conventions or other special services with a missions focus.

Answer The Call,Save Our Nations,Save Our Nations Ministries,A very introspective album with strong Christian lyrics and haunting melodies.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful, but not my first choice.......2007-04-07

I believe this was the first recording of Elijah in English that used an "international" conductor and some international singers. Fruhbeck gives a good, dramatic sweep to the piece, with some wonderful dramatic moments. This is an old fashioned performance, with only a solo quartet, and if there is a semi-chorus, I can't tell the difference. This means that the soprano is the Widow, and an Angel, the mezzo the Angel and Queen Jezabel, etc. You really should have a libretto, but you don't get one at this price.
Fischer-Dieskau roughens up his voice for the role, and therein lies a problem. The voice spreads and his diction suffers because of it; that and his unidiomatic pronounciation, with far too many rolled "r"s. He does the drama well, but what works well in lieder works here less well on the large scale. Odd, given his success as on opera singer (check out his Iago), that here he frequently comes off blustery.
Dame Gwyneth Jones belies her reputation and gives a contolled, dramatic performance, using her "edge" to advantage in "Hear Ye, Israel". Gedda's diction is amazing, with exactly the right color for this literature, and projecting a little more blood than an English tenor.
Dame Janet Baker is my star in this performance. Dramatic, heart-rending when need be, and in wonderful voice. She'll chill your blood when she tells the people of Baal to "slaughter him, do what he hath done!".
And as for the people of Baal, the Philharmonia Chorus is wonderful. Incisive and dramatic, with beautiful tone. I could do without the trick of the boy choir for "Lift Thine Eyes", and I miss the small ensembles, but all in all a fine performance, and good recording, circa 1968.
First choice in English, Daniels/Terfel: better Elijah in Terfel, better recording, more authentic orchestra, small vocal ensembles (as per the score) but inferior women (including Fleming: beautiful tone, but where's her head?). In German, it's Sawallisch/Adam all the way.
But if you're singing Elijah, and have a score, this is a good choice.

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST recording of the BEST oratorio ever..........2006-08-15

Okay, I'm gonna admit I'm biased- I first sung in the chorus of Elijah when I was 14 and it made a BIG impression on me!
This recording is in every way wonderful. Starting with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He IS Elijah to me. His singing is perfection. He has amazing phrasing and his diction makes it possible to understand the lovely, inspired libretto to this heavenly music. There are so many pieces that are ephemeral, but a couple of my favorites are: #14, Lord God of Abraham and #37, For the Mountains shall Depart. Dieskau does a great job of what I think of as compassionate, heartfelt singing. His interpretation sounds like the voice of God himself. It has a quality of kindness and yet he sounds just as convincing reprimanding the people of Baal. He is the true highlight of this recording.

That said, the rest of the cast is wonderful as well. Gwyneth Jones has a lovely, silvery voice that has a clarion bell-like tone that rings over the large orchestra with ease. She has occasional "misfire" but is a consistent performer. Dame Janet Baker and Nicolai Gedda both perform at a consistently lovely level. The orchestra and chorus are both wonderful. #15, Cast thy Burden upon the Lord, #32 He that Shall Endure to the End, and #38 Then Did Elijah are all highlights.

All said, for me the main reason to get this recording is Dieskau's Elijah- after all, he's the main character. But don't forget the lovely music. This story is exciting and passionate and sacred all at the same time. For me, it's the best oratorio that has a moving story and great music too.

4 out of 5 stars Too bad there are so few recordings of Elijah.......2006-07-03

This is a good recording of an oratorio that deserves more attention. The chorus and soloists are very good--I just wish Fischer-Diskau wouldn't slide around so much in singing the title part!

      5 out of 5 stars Impressive mix!.......2004-11-17

      There is no doubt that some of Ralph Stanley's best work is when he reaches deep down inside the bluegrass-gospel well and creates something far outside of anything close to modern sounding. This album is definitely a gem. The album starts off with a bang with an up-tempo prize entitled "I'll answer the Call." He also reaches back into the Stanley Brothers chest with a song the modern church guy or gal would find amusing, "Let the Church Roll On." What begins to unfold from this album after listening it to a few times is just how archaic, haunting, and primitive this music really is today. Amazing! Sammy Adkins does an impressive job singing lead on this album. He definitely has a uniqueness to his voice, rather smooth and he cuts through the music well with timing and delivery. It's definitely a mountain sound! When I first purchased this album I knew it was really good, but I wasn't quite sure why. And then I realized Adkins does such a good job at singing the lead. I also love the haunting acapella quartet of "Calling my Children Home." Sammy Adkins singing lead on "Everything's Alright" is real polished and catchy as well. I just really love the whole album, it clearly deals confrontationally with death, not unlike any of Stanley's past work, but unlike society today. This album is just really impressive! And of course as always Stanley does amazing when he sings tenor or lead. I'll Answer the Call is a big time soul-stirring hit!

      4 out of 5 stars where's Ralph?.......2002-05-14

      So I have to say I was a little disappointed when I bought this album. Ralph doesn't even sing lead on half the songs. But there is some great gospel acapella stuff and I do have to say that this album keeps getting better the more I listen to it. Dont expect anything flashy here, this album does not try to push the grass envelope. But it doesn't need to. If your looking to add to your collection (I wouldnt recommend it for a novice listener) some good, old fahioned, straight up, gritty-but still tight, bluegrass the way its meant to be, check it out.

      I believe Tiger Teeth EP was recorded before "Winds Take No Shape". Tiger Teeth is much closer to the first album in that the bass lines are way out in front and grooving like a mother! Tiger Teeth also differs in that Simone Rubi sings a couple of the tunes which is always great. I don't know why she does not sing more lead. Just to have "connection" is well worth the asking price.
      Don't take the bus today, get this awesome little collection of great pop tunes instead.

            This is a pretty cool single. I like the Call & Answer song but what is a really awesome song is "One Week" and the remix is even better than the original. I wouldn't recommend this single to anyone that doesn't like either of these songs. But these songs you can not ignore, I'm not a big fan of them but I really enjoy these songs and I guarantee that you will too!
