CD ReviewsMEDITATIVE ~ AWESOME ~ PERFECTION AfroAmericanHeritage | 06/07/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "EXCELLENCE! I was, and still continue to be, stunned at the excellence of this recording, irregardless of times played. I should have known that the name Smithsonian on it guaranteed quality plus. Be prepared to be awestruck and silenced by the very first recording - "There Is a Balm in Gilead". If one is not transported to a time and place that knows true healing - then one is not keenly aware of the very breath they draw. This whole CD presents Deep Waters - - especially, "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child."Give yourself quiet time for THIS rare rendition. No telephones or books - just - listen, truly listen!I look forward to adding to this "Library of Life" by getting three more in this Series." Excellent! AfroAmericanHeritage | Wisconsin | 01/23/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Spirituals as presented in the concert tradition, such as were performed by the Jubilee Singers after the Civil War. As such, they are not intended to sound like "field recordings" (as one reviewer here had apparantly expected) but rather, polished concert performances. The documentation (liner notes, bibliography, etc) is outstanding...one could teach a workshop just using the CD and notes.If you're seeking a field recording sound, I suggest "I Believe in Angels Singing: Songs from the Underground Railroad Era (Cassette) Order from Highlander Center 1959 Highlander Way New Market, TN 37820 Tel: (423) 933-3443" African American Spirituals: The Concert Tradition Robert W. Kellemen | 08/12/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is an excellent presentation of glorious music which helped to save the sanity and physical being of slaves."
