The Price Club.......2005-04-28

"I am here," said Leontyne Price when interviewed as she opened the new Metropolitan Opera with Samuel Barber's underrated ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, "and you will know that I am the best and will hear me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to." Back in the 1960s Price was one of the greatest divas in all of opera, and it wasn't just her voice but her magnificent stage presence, combined with her social activism. All of the above come into play in this collection of secular songs and ditties, some of them traditional plantation chanties and others, art songs and a scattering of pop music. And some of them, like Gershwin's "Summertime," cross the ever-permeable boundaries between Broadway and classical. These recordings were made at different times in Price's career, and her voice, while always angelic, has different shadings and reaches a different range of timbre in each separate recording date, but there is no question that, as time goes by, she is able to impart a richness of life experience noticeably absent from some of her earlier work.

"Ave Maria" sounds heavenly no matter which way you slice it, and as for "I Wonder As I Wander," it brings tears to your eyes. If you have a heart that's beating you will be moved by this rendition. "Ein feste Burg" is pretty strong, but Price seems more comfortable with the traditional spirituals, though perhaps it is the slightly off-kilter sounds of the Ambrosian Singers (what a name) who back her up on many of these tracks, that detract slightly from the experience. Compare "Lead Kindly Light" for a clear sense of what constitutes authority vs. what is a wee bit overproduced. If you had this compilation, and perhaps one of Leontyne Price's Christmas albums, you could attain nirvana any time you wanted to, just flip a switch and close your eyes, let her lift you up on wings of song.

A living legend.......2005-03-10

Leontyne Price (still alive) and already passing into immortality amongst vocal artists, both classical and popular. Leontyne Price stands at the pinnacle of her classical art, but those who only know her work in La Forza del destino or the Verdi Requiem are in for a heart rending treat with this album where Leontyne Price goes home to her roots in Mississippi and gives an unabashed account of the classic spirituals she sang as a young woman. Like John Mc Cormacks rendering of Irish songs there is a personal longing and devotion expressed here that reveals a side of the artist not known in the bulk of their "classical" repetoire. A sense of going home like Citizen Kane's rosebud, or as Dorothy Gale observes at the end of the Wizard of Oz "everything I could ever have wanted was right in my own backyard "

not your daddy's old timey spiritual.......2004-06-23

Agreed this is a good cd for a beautiful voice, but this is not, repeat not, for someone who wants to hear that old-timey religious fervor that you think of when you've been to a Black Baptist hand-clapping, standing, swaying, and singing service.

Immaculate Vocals of Leontyne Price.......2003-12-31

IMMACULATE, SUPERB vocal range and style! There's no other words that can complement Miss Leontyne Price's vocal arrangements. Miss Price's voice is strong, and shrills very nicely to the instruments played on many songs listed on this double CD which is a joy to treasure; every song listed are songs I was raised to hearing and singing. Miss Price is the reason why many of these songs remain in popularity and presently used. Miss Leontyne Price has been incredible in many of her past performances. This is my fourth CD of Miss Price and I am glad to own this particular CD forever and ever. Many thanks to the executors who found this remarkable album and upgraded it to a CD format! **Angi**

Great Gospel Stuff.......2001-04-12

This is a great CD. The only problem I have with it is that on some of the selections there is a boy's choir screaming in the background, and this takes away (a bit) from her performance. That said, her best selections are those that are either unaccompanied or those where her voice is not buried. Songs that strike me are - His Name So Sweet, He's Got The Whole World, Were You There, I Wonder as I Wander, Lift Every Voice and Sing, and my all time favourite Summertime. Enough said.

There was nothing like the Robeson sound, ever. To describe his deep, rich, perfectly equalized instrument is futile. Go instead to "Balm in Gilead," the opening track, and see if you can listen to the last pianissimo phrase without falling to pieces. Robeson was at his best when the music was slow and the words contained spiritual or social messages. Faster, lighter fare like Kern's "I Still Suits Me" or Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" find the serious-minded singer out of his element, lacking irony and swing. "Old Man River," though, gets a simple, dignified treatment. It's Songs of Free Men, though, that will just keep Robeson's artistry rolling along, especially in Sony's astonishing transfers. --Jed Distler

Robeson on wax.......2007-06-19

I found this album in a thrift store last week, for a couple of dollars. It's the original pressing on four 78 RPM records, in a gatefold format. It's in pristine condition. I really bought it for the incredible cover art, although I hope to be able to listen to it in this format at some point.

The voice, the sound quality and the interpretation.......2004-09-24

Put this on your stereo and if it is good enough the depth and richness of Robeson's voice will make your fillings rattle and your chest rumble. The power of his voice is awesome. This CD is superbly recorded with no audible noise at normal listening levels.

A Voice from the 40s, often dated, often moving.......2002-09-01

"Red diaper babies" have greeted this disc with nostalgic joy, and it captures a time and an aesthetic and a political belief with precision. Anyone interested in the emotional life of the pro-Soviet left of the 1940s should buy this disc. It's something like Henry Wallace set to music. There is much more to Robeson than that, however, and Sony has given us Robeson whole: there are songs by American masters of the musical, there are labor songs, religious songs, as well as the kind of faux-folk songs which the butcher supreme Josef Stalin encouraged and which were not taken seriously inside the USSR (except at gunpoint!!) but which were taken up by dupes around the world. This is Robeson at his least savory - willing propagandist for a vile mass murderer. Songs such as "Native Land" (fittingly, Robeson is referring to the Soviet Union) and the Red Army song are the equivalent of the "Horst Wessel Song", anthems of murder, and it is difficult to listen to the worst of them without retching. On the other hand, Robeson's commitment to American folk culture was real. "Balm in Gilead" is deeply beautiful; "John Henry" is heroic; "By an' By" is both resigned yet hopeful. "Joe Hill" captures an era in labor history. Anyone interested in American popular song should hear these. Turning to Broadway, his "Old Man River" is very fine, though Robeson changed the lyrics for political reasons and Leonard Warren has done the song better. I disagree with the editorial reviewer: "I Still Suits Me" is wonderfully playful and shows Robeson using his gorgeously rich voice to tease and poke fun. However, Marc Blitzstein's "Purest Kind of a Guy" is beyond saving - another example of Robeson recording an unworthy song by a political fellow-traveller. Ugh. But for every miss there are two hits. Robeson performs Mendelssohn's Elijah with nobility, and sings his favorite song, "Water Boy", with joyous pride: "There ain't no hammer that's on these mountains that rings like mine, boys, that rings like mine."
No one need have any fears about the mono sound quality. The orchestra in the second half of the program is at times a little dwarfed by Robeson's voice, but it generally sounds clean and colorful, and the great artist's voice rings like no other.

Robeson at his best.......2000-05-12

It's hard to believe that most of these recordings pre-date the advent of magnetic tape: the CD transfer is superlative. The songs and performance are beyond reproach. Notable is the imaginative packaging in miniature 'record album' format, complete with the original cover art, and a replica of the original Columbia record label applied to the CD.

In response to a previous question: Robeson's performance of Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) can be found on the Vanguard LP entitled "Robeson" (VRS-9037).

some of the greatest songs of the last century.......2000-05-05

In the 1940s, before rabid McCarthyism and racism had taken its toll on him, Robeson made these wonderful recordings of spirituals, classics and pop tunes. Accompanied by the solo piano of the incomparable Lawrence Brown, or by an orchestra, the songs ring out with pride, dignity, skill and unmatched integrity. The shameful treatment that Robeson was subject to from American authorities certainly seem grotesquely absurd to a modern listener. The wonderful version of "The House I Live In" included on this cd should forever kill off any suspicion that Robeson did not love his country deeply. This album ought to be heard by millions of people, world wide. Robeson's voice is nothing less than a glorious high point in 20th century music, and it's hard to think of any recording capturing it to greater advantage.

Ever-reigning Queen of Sopranos.......2007-05-28

Listening through these two discs, one thought kept leaping up to mind: will ever there be another soprano as versatile and accomplished as Lucia Popp? Died in 1994 at the early age of 54, the operatic world hadn't really mourned her enough.
People are still lingering on Maria Callas, the 'star' soprano with all her glamour and legendary life could offer.
Real listeners, however, could not give up the memory of Lucia Popp's terrific artistry and almost supernatural voice.
Her Rusalka, her Solveig, her Susanna, Zerlina, Despina in the da Ponte/Mozart trio, her terrific Queen of the Night (unsurpassed by ANY subsequent sopranos up till now), and ALSO her Pamina in the same opera. In any language you ask her to sing, and she excelled. I marvel at the Letter Scene in Eugene Onegin - only if Lucia had the chance to perform the whole opera during her short life! The joy, the expectation, the emotional tribulations, so vividly captured in girlish and pure timbre. No one will ever beat her; not even Fleming and Netrebko.
"Weird and wonderful" - that's what Elisabeth Schwarzkopf said of Lucia Popp's singing. We today would modify it to 'wonderful and unsurpassable'.
This 2-CD set is an absolute must have, even if you have never heard of Lucia Popp before.

Lucia Popp.......2006-01-12

This is a wonderful album showcasing the very best of Lucia Popp (as the title suggests). Her voice was absolutely beautiful. She could sing the slavic languages like no one else. Her version of Dvorak's Song to the Moon is unbeatable. I dare anyone to find a better performance! Also, the song from Die Zauberflute -Ah Ich fuls (sp?) is outstanding. I've yet to hear a better version. Her diction was fantastic and while she wasn't the highest soprano around - she knew what worked for her voice. This is album is a keeper!

Lucy: The Reigning Queen of Opera.......2004-07-12

Lucia Popp is one of the best sopranos to ever grace the operatic/classical voice stage. This CD compilation shows her progression through lyric Handel to lyric and dramatic Mozart (her Der Holle Rache from Magic Flute is unrivaled) to tender art song and operetta literature. The first disc also showcases her adeptness with 20th Century literature as well as the ability to step out of the traditional four languages of opera. Any avid music fan MUST have this CD compilation.

A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!.......2003-10-30

Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.

god moves in a peculiar way.........i am god.............2002-01-17

Offenbach is great anyhow, but this recording is riotous. The translation into English is first-rate, really funny stuff, and the singing is pretty good, too. Very worthwhile.

Orpheus in the Underworld.......2000-03-17

The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

Excerpts.......1999-12-23

This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

Highlights or total Opera?.......1999-11-01

I would like to know if this is highlights from the opera or the total opera.

Timeless....................Awesome!!!.......2007-07-16

I felt compelled to write a review now, even though I've had this CD for a few years. I've been browsing for new CD's to buy and I came across her new release this year (which I plan to get) and wanted to do justice to this artist.
How I feel is one of those CD's which is timeless. I NEVER want to skip any of the tracks. This CD saw me thru some of the darkest times in my life and kept my hope alive. You would be doing yourself and injustice if you DIDN'T buy this CD.
Be blessed!

This is awesome, you don't have to skip a song. It's truly a blessing to your spirit, and she's for real. If your tired of the 2006 upbeat music, get this you won't regret it. Both of her CD's are excellent. They actually take you to another level

I bought this CD because it ministers to my inners, my Spirit-man. Maurette's music honors God in a unique way. I can hardly wait for your next release. I can especially relate to "Without You" because I know that I could not make it without God. Maurette Brown Clark is the only artist I can truly say that I enjoy every song on every tape. I don't have to scan the music in the store to see what songs I like, I can buy with confidence that every song will be a blessing, because the quality of her music is simply Amazing.

A very good album!.......2006-08-01

OK, after hearing Nouveaux's first album for the 1000th time, I thought it was time to indulge myself by buying thier second album. After reading the reviews etc I knew it was going to be a good one, but mainly because their first album had blown me away so much, my expectation's were high. I'm sorry to say that when the album arrived and I gave it a good listen, I was rather dissapointed. The first thing I noticed was that there was no fancy guitar melodies, chunky riffs, squeeling guitar solo's and the soul and power of Alans Vocals. This wasn't the Nouveaux I expected and wanted. The reason I had liked Nouveaux so much was because of their originality. They were one of about 5 Christian bands to make it in the AOR hard rock genre, and with their passionate lyrics combined with the intricacies of their musical geneous a fine album was produced. But it seems as though they have sold themselves out to conforming into the exact same style of music as every other Christian band in the world - easy listening acoustic rock! "Such talent wasted!" was my first reaction to the album. Why would such a great band want to sound like everyone else! So your probably wandering why I gave it five stars? Well, after a few more listens I realised that despite the fact that they had moved away from what they seemed to do best, they had moved on to something else that they seemed to do just as well. The songs on this album are incredibly catchy, and with the light acoustic rythems and funky heavy snared drums as well as Paul Alans more mature but slightly less expressive voice. Its almost as if Nouveaux was trying to show that they could do anything they wanted to and they have. They still showed raw tellent and a little more mature approach to the music. Sure I missed the feel of the driving rock and the incredibly cheesy background vocals but when all comparrissons are taken away this album has the power to inspire, infuse emotion, uplift and encourage. Most importantly it delves deaper into the more peronsal aspects of our own faith. Overall a very good album, one of the best I've heard in a long time, so buy it!

It's beautiful...simply beautiful...........2006-05-16

I remember hearing "Maybe Tomorrow" for the first time about three years after Nouveaux broke up, and I was taken with it. It's actually what helped me to decide to wait for my perfect someone that God has for me. And it still remains to this day, except this time I now have their album and I absolutely love it. It's very poetic in its lyrics, strong in its message, and the music carries you into a state of praise and appreciation. This is a beautifully done album that I'd highly recommend any music lover to check out, especially if you like bands like Jars of Clay and Casting Crowns.

This is the most beautiful CD ever; that's how I feel!.......2006-05-08

I found this CD during the Jars of Clay frenzy back in 1997. I told my friends that I'd heard a band better than Jars of Clay and nobody believed me. Then they heard the music and we all enjoyed the enchantment of this awesome album together! We butchered the melodies, wailing our hearts out and feeling the passion of the songs. It's too bad this was the last album Nouveaux put out, but it adds to the allure surrounding their music. These guys are so talented; they blend their heartfelt vocals and rocking guitars to a perfect pitch...one that carries you away to "The Other Side of Forever." I recommend it for any alternative rock fan, Christian or not!

Powerful lyrics, Powerful music.......2005-10-14

By far, this is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. I've let many people listen to my copy of this and I have not found anyone that does not love it. Whether it be the lyrics, the music, or just the pure thoughts relayed - there is something for everyone (and in most cases, all of it is for everyone). There are few albums that are this encouraging to people and, to me, I feel that finding this CD is a complete blessing. It has kept me going when I have been down. Truly, this is an inspired work by our Creator.

Awesome!.......2004-01-09

This album was my favorite all through highschool. I memorized every word to every song. Some of the songs are so beautiful...."You Breathe" and "Maybe Tomorrow" are amazing. This album is proof that there is some WONDERFUL Christian Alternative music out there! Wish they were still making music together!!!

A dynamic, fun performance.......2004-04-10

I had never heard of this young Canadian pianist until I took a chance and went to his live concert in Maine. What a terrific show! I immediately bought his first three albums (this is the second album)and recently I bought the fourth. All are good, though this and the third album, "No Strings Attached," are my favorites. Kaeshammer is a dynamic pianist, whether playing solo (the first album, "Blue Keys") or in a group. He plays with some fine side men. He loves to play boogie woogie style, but plays well in other jazz styles too. I like his lively renditions of classics on this album (e.g. Caravan, Sweet Georgia Brown, Basin Street Blues), but the newer numbers on his more recent albums are great too. This is fun music, and it will help you get into a good mood. It's some of my favorite cookin' and dishwashin' and cruisin' in the car music!

I will buy every CD he makes!.......2003-03-05

I just discovered the music of this exceptionally talented pianist. I have all 3 of his CDs in my changer and I bought a second copy for my car! I can hardly believe that someone can play the piano as fast and rollicking as he can. His music makes me laugh and can bring tears to my eyes, the sound is so beautiful. Your toes will tap and if you are driving, set the cruise!

Buy this CD for her rendition of "He Never Said a Mumbalin' Word" alone --- truly lovely, simply brilliant.

Not traditional American Negro spirituals mostly........2005-10-24

If you are looking for the soulfull melodic or jubilation of traditional American Negro spirituals, this is not it. But it is masterful musicianship.

Great opera, not spiritual style I thought title suggested........2005-09-08

This is a very good classical collection. The rating would have been higher if the description had suggested the actual style of the music. I am giving it 3 stars because this is a very good OPERA style collection - not the spiritual style I was hoping for. Given the title and simple instruments, I thought it would be different - more relaxed. I wish a sample of the music had been available. If you want spirituals sung in an OPERA style you will love this. She is an amazing talent.

A Glorious Burgeoning Diva!.......2005-05-07

Though this particular selection of songs may not be one the recital lover would choose, MOSAIC introduces to the recording audience the magnificent voice of Angela M. Brown, a gifted singer whose career has been nurtured by appearances with small opera companies until her highly successful Metropolitan Opera debut in 'Aida' last year. Now this intelligent singer is currently replacing the indomitable Jessye Norman in a Detroit Opera premiere and even in that vulnerable position of comparison she is making a triumphant statement.

MOSAIC is pleasant enough recital of African American Spirituals with sensitive piano and guitar accompaniment. But it is in the few unaccompanied songs that the splendor of this very large voice with a seemingly bottomless register is best displayed. Brown has a glowing top as well as a lush bottom in her register and her attention to the control of the cascade of sound is simply thrilling. Brown knows this repertoire well and is convincing in her delivery of not only the message but the depth of emotion of each song.

Hopefully a recording of songs and arias will follow soon, especially as her opera reputation grows. But for now, MOSAIC is a fine introduction to a voice whose destiny seems assured. Grady Harp, May 05

Classical music with heart and soul.......2005-03-01

Daniel Alexander Payne, sixth bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church worked tirelessly to purge emotionalism from African American modes of worship, and derided spirituals as "corn field ditties." Starting with the Fisk Jubilee Singers and into current century, composers such as Florence Price, Margaret Bonds, Moses Hogan and Joseph Joubert have sought new, classical interpretations of these timeless, soulful songs.

I must confess, I've never been a big fan of classicised spirituals. Spirituals ARE emotional, expressions of unbearable pain, of longing, of optimism and ultimate belief in salvation. To strip them of that by prettying them up is to deny their very reason for being.

But having said all that: I absolutely loved MOSAIC! Angela Brown does not let her classical training get in the way of putting a song over with heart and soul. She obviously loves these songs, and her rich voice moved me to tears on several occasions. The instrumental accompaniments (Joseph Joubert on piano, Tyron Cooper on guitar) are gorgeously subtle and supportive.

The sound quality of this disc is superb, a fitting tribute to the many African American composers represented here. Highly recommended!

While Terri Clark's first two albums were solid affairs, they too often placed this Canadian in the position of living up to an "Emotional Girl" image with emotionally superficial material. How I Feel, though, takes a significant step forward with smart anthems of survival and soaring, plainspoken ballads that are more likely to express complex emotions than to simply proclaim them. The spunky "You're Easy on the Eyes" sounds like her playful earlier hits, while "I'm Alright" and the bluesy "Getting Even with the Blues" place her music somewhere between the traditionalism of Patty Loveless and the singer-songwriter pop of Mary-Chapin Carpenter. Even accounting for the clichéd and treacly sentiments that appear on the album's closing tracks, this is easily Clark's best album yet. --David Cantwell

Terri's Third album.......2003-09-25

Terri Clark's third album HOW I FEEL is my favorite Terri Clark album. The album had many hits, such as the beautiful ballad "Now That I Found You", the uptempo rocker "You're Easy On The Eyes", and other songs like "Every Time I Cry", "Unsung Hero". "Unsung Hero" is a cover of a Tina Arena song, and Terri does it justice, it was a single only in Canada. "Every Time I Cry" has a serious subject matter, about spousal abuse. Terri wrote a number of these songs and they are great. She also manages a great cover of Kim Richey's "I'm Alright", which stands as one of the best on the album. The title track is a nice midtempo country song. The album is very country, unashamed, and that's what's refreshing about it. Around this time Faith and Shania were crossing over, and Terri was keeping it country. Other highlights include "Not Getting Over You", "This Ol Heart", "Till I Get There" and more.

Terri Clark - How I Feel.......2003-01-28

Terrific. First of all, she has a very distinctive voice that you couldn't compare to any other with the exception maybe of that of Patty Loveless. Nevertheless, this is her best album. While her previous efforts showed Terri has a tough and proud woman unafraid of any man, this set shows her a little softer and, I guess, more mature musically. The song that made me buy this CD is the first single, "Now That I've Found You", which was contemporary enough to get her into Billboard's Top 3 but still had enough emotion and I thought it was quite better than most of the songs at no. 1 around that time. There are better songs on this set, though, like the traditional Melba Montgomery-written song, "Cure For The Common Heartache", "Unsung Hero". Another single that did it for me here is the rockin' "You're Easy On The Eyes" ("but hard on the heart"). All songs are top-rate. She's a great singer and this is a great album, her best actually.

Feels Like A Winner.......2002-07-28

After two albums that admittedly sounded a little too much like the other for their own good, Terri Clark takes a slightly different approach for her third set, and the ensuing outcome results in her best album up to that point. HOW I FEEL doesn't completely abandon Clark's affinity for uptempo radio fare(the superb 'Everytime I Cry' and the opposingly bad 'You're Easy On The Eyes'), but she also thinks outside the narrow confines of typical Nashville fare, offering up Patty Loveless-inspired hardcore country('Cure For The Common Heartache') and more than doing justice to Kim Richey's excellent 'I'm Alright'. The set also showcases her richest, most unaffected vocal work to date, particularly on the low key 'Now That I Found You' and 'That's How I Feel'. An excellent set-up for her impending fourth(and best)effort FEARLESS.

Luv it.......2002-03-10

It's country, rocky, and bluesy all in one. Fun tunes like "Your Easy on the Eyes" combined with ballads like "I'm Alright" combined with "Now That I found You" along so many others. It's hard to catorigize. It comes off as an "I lost in love; I found love; and I lost love again" type album. One of my favorites because of the different styles on one album.

Best Album.......2001-07-09

How I Feel is Terri's best album. She expresses so many emotions and feelings, and does it rather tastefully and well. "Now That I Found You" is a beautiful ballad which should be a favorite at weddings and for couples. "I'm Alright" should have been a single, about rebounding from the fall of a relationship. The album is quite country, but its excellent. "Easy On The Eyes" is one of those fun songs people will instantly love and sing along with. "Everytime I Cry" is a honest song about domestic abuse, a definite highlight here. "Getting Even With The Blues", "Not Getting Over You", and "Cure For The Common Heartache" all share similar theme, but both showcase the emotional outpouring of Terri muscially, and emotionally. "This Ol Heart" and "That's Me Not Loving You" are very country, but some of the best material she's done along with most of this album. The album closes nicely with the cover of the Tina Arena hit "Unsung Hero" which was a single in Canada, very inspiring. Terri takes you on an emotional journey with this cd, its her best album and a must have.
