Few recording producers and performers take the time and care to so intelligently exhibit a sampling of the rich and colorful American hymn repertoire. This thoughtful and varied program of hymns, Shaker songs, anthems, and spirituals shows what good things can happen when a top-rank choir and director and an accommodating record company join in such a project. The 20 selections come from a variety of sources, including The Southern Harmony (published in 1834) and The Sacred Harp (published in 1844). The Shaker tunes are from the vast collections at New Lebanon and Pleasant Hill, New York, and Sabbathday Lake, Maine. Four of the six spirituals and several of the hymns are arrangements by Alice Parker; others are arranged by James Mulholland. Among the hymns and spirituals are two American choral classics: Randall Thompson's famous and oft-performed "Alleluia" and Daniel Gawthrop's "Sing Me to Heaven." --David Vernier

5 out of 5 stars The best choir out there.......2004-03-02

The Kansas City Chorale is a SUPERIOR vocal group. I am impressed by its large and wholesome sound that is produced by such a small group. The Alleluia CD is beautiful and also very diverse. "Sing me to Heaven" is gorgeous. The harmonies are beautiful on the page, but are even more beautiful when sung by this ensemble. "Alleluia" is also wonderful, and I was impressed by their interpretation of the many shaker songs and spirituals. This cd is a MUST HAVE for any choral singer or enthusiast.

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous.......2003-03-24

My choir sang "Alleluia", and used this recording to learn the dynamics. A brilliant performance of that piece. The others are, too, excellent. Good balance, dynamic, and overall sound. But the "Alleluia" really stood out for me.

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent CD.......2002-01-23

My pastor bought me this CD and I wasn't sure I'd really like it. Chorale music? You must be joking. But I popped it into my CD player at home and was immediately astonished at what I heard. The Kansas City Chorale have done an outstanding job of singing hymns of various types, most without musical accompaniment. Track 7 ("Encouragement") is my absolute favorite song on this CD. It is so beautiful to hear, especially when I crank it on my big stereo or over my headphones.

Bottom line: if you like chorale music, religious music, or even classical music, you will really enjoy this CD. The quality of the recording is very good.

5 out of 5 stars A moving survey of American hymns.......2002-01-02

This is an excellent, deeply musical performance of a wide variety of hymns, Shaker tunes, and spirituals. The choices provide variety and a thumbnail sketch of a time in America when hymn-singing was a part of every week's activities. I agree with another reviewer that "Precious Lord" is a highlight. Also noteworthy is "Give Me Jesus" at the end. Both the singing and acoustics of the recording are top notch. I have already played this CD many times since receiving it two days ago. I'm ordering copies for friends! Among my many choral CDs, this one stands out as a favorite.

5 out of 5 stars a listener from North Kansas CIty.......2001-06-27

What a excellent CD! I got this for Christmas after going to a couple of their concerts and it sounds just as good as it did live. If you like chorale music then this is the cd for you. I personally know a man that sings in this group and is very talented singer along with the rest!

5 out of 5 stars The King At Home.......2004-10-07

Solomon Burke is rightfully crowned the King of Rock 'n Soul. It also seems fitting that this album, his masterpiece, was recorded right back where his career began and where his life is still centered - the church.

This is gospel music par excellence. Joy, compassion, pathos, humour, all abound. And the Voice roars and soars majestically. Here are versions of "Precious Lord" and "Peace In The Valley" to die for. Here is a bishop preaching to his flock; and a humbling singing lesson for every wannabe soul singer.

4 out of 5 stars Powerful Gospel!.......2004-05-09

Solomon Burke grew up in church like so many other black people and early on he began preachin and was already a bishop in his church at the age of nine! He was given a powerful voice, which was in fact too unique and powerful to be undiscovered by the world. So Solomon began singing and recording secular music and became one of the big male soul artist of the 60s along with Sam Cooke, Johnny Taylor, Ray Charles etc.
After having spent many years on the glamorous yet unsatisfactory broad way of the world he returned back to his gospel roots and cut four LPs for the Savoy label. Each of these records is a masterpiece. "Take me,Shake me" is the only one of these which is recorded live and also the only one of these that has been reissued in it's entirity on cd. ( I've had a hard time understanding the American record industry really ). The whole album is filled with life and power from the beginning of the funky gospel song "Take me, Shake me" to the finale "Swing low sweet chariot" which begins with a heart touching spoken introduction, then the soloist comes in and finally everything bursts out in a most energetic praise!!!

This cd is highly recommended to all lovers of powerful gospel music and soul music.
