Overview
Paul Robeson’s unmistakable bass-baritone voice graces this exceptional Supraphon LP, bringing together an eclectic mix of classical masterpieces, spirituals, and folk songs. This album showcases Robeson’s profound ability to bridge genres, from the sacred chorales of Bach and the operatic elegance of Mozart’s O Isis And Osiris to the heartfelt simplicity of traditional spirituals like Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child.
The album includes stirring renditions of Dvořák’s Songs My Mother Taught Me and Going Home, Schubert’s soothing Cradle Song, and Mussorgsky’s evocative The Orphan. Robeson’s commanding presence transforms each piece, whether interpreting Beethoven’s All Men Are Brothers or traditional spirituals such as Deep River.
With sleeve notes by J. Loewenbach, this Supraphon release offers an intimate journey through diverse musical landscapes, unified by Robeson’s rich, resonant artistry.
