Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
breath control is prodigious, his production smooth as silk, his musical instincts are refined
everything he plays sounds utterly spontaneous.
Jon Tuska, Fanfare, May/June, 1994
Jones' deeply emotional expressiveness, technical proficiency, purity of tone and Valentine's sympathetic accompaniments are completely absorbing. Recommended.
Album Description
After studying flute while attending DuSable High School in Chicago, Harold Jones won a scholarship to Sherwood Music School and became a member of the Chicago Civic Orchestra. He went to New York in 1955 and was awarded a scholarship to Juilliard, where he received the "Outstanding Woodwind Player" award. He continued his studies with the renowned Marcel Moyse, and in 1966 made his New York recital debut at Town Hall, later appearing at CAMI Hall, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and Jordan Hall in Boston. He has been soloist with numerous orchestras, including the Bach Aria Orchestra, New York Sinfonietta, American Symphony, Brooklyn Philharmonia, National Orchestral Association, Municipal Concerts Orchestra, and Symphony of the New World. He has appeared frequently with Today's Artists in New York, San Francisco, and at the Yachats Music Festival in Oregon. In addition to his solo performances, he has collaborated with the prize winning Audubon Quartet, Fresk Quartet, internationally renowned pianist Leon Bates, and guitarist Peter Segal.
Pianist Colette Valentine, a prizewinner in the Gina Bachauer and the University of Maryland International Piano Competitions, has performed in solo and chamber concerts throughout much of the USA, as well as in Japan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Recent appearances include performances at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and Merkin Hall in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and Suntory Hall in Tokyo. Ms. Valentine also teaches and serves as staff accompanist for numerous competitions.

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.

How sweet the sound!.......2003-01-23
Heaven must be missing an angel because she's here with us-singing on this disc. This is arguably one of the most beautiful recordings of sacred music ever made. Ms. Norman brings a lifetime of experience to this genre-she joined her church choir at 4! The warm acoustics make you feel like you are sitting in your favorite pew-albeit with a magnificent vocalist in the choirloft. Jessye has conquered the world's opera houses in the most demanding roles-one of which garnered her a fifty-five minute standing ovation (Salzberg). But she is most resplendent in the music of her youth. The majestic voice soars over the orchestra and chorus to deliver the full beauty of the music. Ms. Norman also performs selections with organ accompaniment-appropiate since her voice has often been compared to the king of instruments-"with all the stops pulled out"! You will hear why she is one of the most acclaimed recitalists of our time. Her expansive vocal range encompasses every nuance of the music heard here. We are taken on a journey through the entire spectrum of the category starting with a classical Mass, moving through an American spiritual and finishing with a Christmas carol that will keep you in a festive mood year 'round. Amoung the gems on this disc is an Ave Maria sung in German and arguably the most powerful solo recorded performance of "The Holy City" ever. If you want to hear what the heavenly choir sounds like before entering the pearly gates-listen to this disc. Brava Jessye!
breathtaking!.......1999-03-22
The Sanctus, and the Holy City will send chills down your spine! Absolutey Breathtaking.
incredibly moving.......1999-02-25
I was listening to the local public radio station when they played the Sanctus and I literally had to drive off the road to listen it was so powerfyl and moving. Jessye Norman is a national treasure.

The amazing Jessye Norman.......2007-06-18
Oh what a joy to listen to one of the richest voices of our time! A truly great singing legend. Breathtaking depth and effortless power!
Amazing Grace.......2007-05-08
Don't Know. Holder had a CD of Ludwig con Beethoven! Awaiting the real thing.
Superb! As Always, superb!.......2003-12-27
There's not enough words that can express how wonderful Miss Jessye Norman's vocal talent is. What a wonderful opera diva! I thought the George Bizet's Carmen (CD) was magnificient but then when I got this (CD), I was thrown back. The range and style in "Ave Maria" is splendid, so is "Let's Break Bread Together," "Amazing Grace," and many more songs found on this CD. Miss Jessye Norman, Ms. Leontyne Price, Miss kathleen Battle, Miss Joan Sutherland are top opera divas on my list. So you know I have a fine taste of hearing great vocals; you can't go wrong in purchasing this CD. It's a treasure to listen to.
Uplifting and Timeless.......2003-09-08
Jessye Norman is one of my favorite opera singers. I hope that she may release another CD of Gospel songs very soon. We have waited too much!!! How about to revisit Marian Andersons' Gospel recordings!!!
Why was I such a fool?.......2003-06-17
Okay, if you look at my other recommendations, you'll see that I'm a conservative. So, before my full embrace of the classical vocal artistry, and when I was just beginning to grasp politics (I'm only 21 now), I heard a beautiful voice and rejected it because it was singing at the inauguration of Bill Clinton.
I've learned a little since then. I've learned to ignore an artists political leanings, because they don't tell you much about quality (contrast the Republican South Park creators Matt Parker and Trey Stone with the Democrat Robert Redford). I've also learned to (sometimes) listen to the recommendations of friends. And well, after a friend heard me laud Reneé Fleming, Kathleen Battle, and Leontyne Price, she told me I needed to try Jessye Norman. So I did.
Jessye Norman here offers here own takes on many of the most-loved (i.e. trite) pieces in the religio-classical tradition. She renders one of my own favorites, "O Divine Redeemer", with great beauty. When other reviewers mention shivers on the spine, I can only nod. As a wonderful introduction to Ms. Norman, the great spirituals and hymns, or repudiation of foolish artistic discrimination, I highly recommend this CD.

Perfect introduction to the carillon..........1998-10-30
James Lawson plays the carillon at the Crystal Cathedral, a unique instrument because of its major-third overtones as opposed to the typical minor-third overtones of a carillon. The Cathedral Carillon has a particularly rich sound, which Lawson harnesses with a flair in his arrangements of hymns tunes and recognizable classics. The carillon has long been known as the most democratic of instruments, and Lawson plays it as it should be heard--with music people know and love.
This recording is very relaxing as well, and is of paticular use as focus music for prayer or small worship settings, or for listening at the end of a long day.

Album Description
"LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER-- Further Explorations of the Afro-Semitic Experience" continues the musical exploration that pianist Warren Byrd and bassist David Chevan began on their critically acclaimed 1998 album, AVADIM HAYINU--Once We Were Slaves (also available on amazon.com). On this new CD, their first studio recording, Chevan and Byrd expand their interpretations and explorations of music from the Jewish and African-American Sacred repertoire. The pieces include classic works such as "Soon I Will Be Done" and Eliyahu HaNavi" along with some more recent compositions from the Gospel and Jewish music worlds including a rollicking version of Dorothy Love Coates' "How Much More" and a haunting rendition of Nurit Hirsch's "Oseh Shalom."
The title of this CD, "Let Us Break Bread Together," comes from an African-American spiritual. The idea of breaking bread as a symbol of fellowship and community appears in both the Jewish and African-American sacred traditions. It is also said that this was one of the songs that was used by slaves hoping to escape to freedom and one can think of no more fitting title for this new album.
In many ways this recording is a much more fully realized artistic work than its predecessor. Their first album, Avadim Hayinu, marked an early stage in Chevan and Byrd's collaboration and was recorded live in concert without the opportunity for second takes. Since that first recording, the two men have given numerous concerts, workshops, and interfaith services. In the process their repertoire and understanding of these pieces has continued to expand. This new recording is a stronger artistic statement of a kind that can only come out of the experience of numerous live performances.
The album includes liner notes by noted scholar and author, Dr. Julius Lester, as well as an historical essay about the pieces on the recording that was compiled and written by David Chevan.
Since 1997 David Chevan and Warren Byrd have been giving sacred concerts of Jewish and African-American sacred music throughout the Northeast. Audiences of all faiths and races respond enthusiastically to the spontaneity, wit and intensity of the performances. Raina Goldberg, Director of Regional Student Services, Hillel Council of New England called their performance "a moving, inspiring program" and Dr. Peter S. Zaas, Professor of Religious Studies, Siena College adds that "I would like to indicate my appreciation for the educational quality-not to mention the musical quality-of the selections that David and Warren performed for our event . . . [The] comments before each selection were learned and engagingly presented and provided a striking example of how music can reach the mind as well as the soul."

The rich-toned, musically elegant, always dignified contralto Marian Anderson (1897-1993) is probably best known as the first African-American to sing at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, but by the time she did (in the mid '50s), her once burnished, glorious voice was no longer at its best. Years before, when she was not permitted to sing in the Daughters of the American Revolution's Constitution Hall (or any other hall in the U.S. capital), she gave a concert in the open air, in front of the Lincoln Memorial, which was attended by press, dignitaries, and a crowd of more than 75,000. Much of her late work is well known--arias from Verdi's Un ballo in maschera, spirituals, and the like--but this CD also allows us to hear the voice when it was young--in the 1930s and '40s. One can almost hear Schubert's trout ("Die Forelle") dancing around in the water, and an aria by Scarlatti shows Anderson's coloratura abilities--the big voice could be scaled down to intimate, chamberlike proportions. She brings her intelligence and textual insights to other songs by Schubert and Brahms as well. This is a marvelous collection and a fine tribute to an American original. --Robert Levine
Customer Reviews:
Marian Anderson - an outstanding collection.......2003-05-03
This CD with recordings of Marian Anderson between 1936 and 1952, should be heavily promoted. The CD gives listeners a fantastic opportunity to hear the singer in a variety of song styles and languages. I heard her sing live, once, in the 1960's and was stunned then by her vocal skills and musicality. This is the first record or CD which truly reflects her amazing talent.
