Spirituals in Concert [Live]-Kathleen Battle & Jessye Norman

10/02/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a fabulous CD. The ensemble pieces are wonderful, especially the opening jubilee spiritual "In that Great Gettin' Up Mornin'." This is an excellent beginning for what is an outstanding concert, and the divas are at their best. Particularly moving are renditions of "Over My Head/L'il David" and "Ride on King Jesus." Miss Sylvia Lee's arrangement of "Scandalize My Name" is engaging, soulful, and entertaining, especially in view of the way that Miss Battle and Miss Norman interpret it. The late, great Thomas Kerr's arrangement of "Great Day" allows both sopranos to show their voices off to high advantage. All in all, an enjoyable compilation and expression of the American spiritual."

Vocal and Symphonic Brilliance

Sondra L. Archibald | Rockford, Illinois United States | 11/11/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Each selection is filled with vocal perfection and brilliant orchestration. This shows the marriage of classical symphonic music with deeply soulful spirituals."

"Spiritually" uplifting

pspa | Boston, MA USA | 01/31/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"It is hard to complain about any recording featuring the incomparable Jessye Norman and the beautiful voice of Kathleen Battle, who can reach unbelievably high notes. The numbers they do together, including Great Day and Gospel Train, are rousing. My only reservation about the disc is that the sound quality isn't the greatest (it seems to be recorded at a very low volume and is a little muddled in parts particularly in the ensemble numbers). For people willing to buy several CDs of spirituals I strongly recommend it, if you want just one I would recommend Ms. Norman's solo recital or Marian Anderson's."

A moving tribute African-American musical tradition

Sean | WASHINGTON, DC USA | 07/02/2000

"I love every piece on this CD! In addition to the incomparable Battle and Norman as dueling sopranos, I also enjoyed the very American arrangement of "Great Day," which was reminiscent of Aaron Copland. I have to say that Battle seems to edge Norman (who clearly felt the spirit in "You Can Tell the World") in their respective solo pieces. Battle's renditions of "Over my Head," "Oh Glory," and "Talk about a Child" were luminous.I am always moved by the weight of history when I consider the strength and determination of the people who created and believed in the central message of salvation in this beautiful Christian music. It's no wonder that African slaves adopted Christianity so readily. They had to believe that what came after their earthly suffering would be paradise compared to their oppressive lives in the New World."

A true showcase of talent.

John L. | Chicago, IL. USA | 04/28/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This concert represents two of our nation's best sopranos in absolute top form. Each woman knew that the other woman could have stolen the show and put forth their best effort in this performance. Battle, in just about each song, used her upper register to the fullest with plenty of high c's and d's to please any Battle fan. Norman used the sheer power of her voice and soared above the chorus and orchestra with little effort. These women harmonized beautifully and sparked each other; Battle answered Norman's high notes with even higher notes (listen to the end of "Great Day" for example), and Norman's answer for Battle's high notes were again, power and strength. This cd demonstrates that both of these ladies had an obvious love for this music, for it is well showcased here. Some of the highlights include "Oh What A Beautiful City", "Gospel Train" , "Scandalize My Name" and the standout to me is the finale, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". I strongly recommend this cd."
