LOVE the music!.......2005-09-13

I must have been 12 when I saw this on Broadway...and now umpteen years later (okay 35 yrs later..) I still love the music from this broadway play. In addition to the original LP, I also have the music book which is absolutely wonderful. I play over and over the daunting and soul searching tunes of "Let me come in" and "How I feel" on the piano. My 9 yr old doesn't know the words but I know he enjoys the melody he hears when I play it on the piano.

Only wish I could see it again....

LACKING!.......2004-12-22

It seems that most of the (7) reviewers of this CD are people who have participated in a production of TMNK, and I am no different from them. And I hold the same disappointments that they do. Many of my favorite songs are MISSING! Plus, I really don't like the voices of the people who do it. William sounds like he has marbles in his mouth, and "How I Feel," which is supposed to be chilling and haunting, was completely ruined by whoever played Catherine. Regardless, this CD still gets 3 stars because, well, the music is awesome. Everybody knows RENT, so imagine a 70's version of that, as far as music goes, where the melody lines are carried by the brass section rather than the guitars (think RENT, only ska-style). So unless you were in the show yourself, you won't miss the missing songs.

P.S.- I played Lillie Mae, and my big songs, the "Fugue" and "Robert, Alvin, Wendell and Jojo" are gone.

Thank you for putting this in cd format!.......2002-08-11

I played Lillian in a production in Maryland in the late 70's. It was very difficult to find the LP, but after I bought it, I just about wore it out. Yes, it is missing some of the songs from the musical, but what remains is so meaningful to all ages, from teens to adults. For those of you who have not experienced the life of the ghetto, the songs in this musical were taken from authentic poems that ghetto kids wrote. They are so powerful and the voices on this cd show the torment and all the other emotions that go into this life with violence all around.

*Sigh* If only this CD had the complete score..........2002-05-27

I performed in this musical at the Buffallo Arts Academy back in 1986. It is STILL one of my all-time favorite shows! The score is excellent and the performances powerful. The only drawback? About 1/3 of this beautiful score went unrecorded! Lost are such gems as "Rejoice, Children", Nell's gospel "Take Hold the Crutch" Lloyd and Lillian's beautiful deut "What Happens to Life?", "Fugue for Four Girls" and (a personal loss for me because I played Benjamin) "Flying Milk and Runaway Plates". If only recording technology back then allowed more recording time. Otherwise this CD is highly reccomended!

A Great Musical Brought Back To Life!!!!!.......2002-01-28

I love the cd version of this musical. The music is soul searching and the lyrics are deep. Deep in the hearts of the kids who share their world with the GREATER WORLD. Irene Cara is a jewel. The Obie she won in 1970 for her contribution to this project was well deserved, along with so many others she has won. Thank you Gary & Stevie for bringing it back to life. Awesome. ...

Customer Reviews:

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.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-09-22

The following quote is a good way to introduce this album; it is from the poem "The Singer" by Eva A. Jessye. "Because of ebon skin and humble pride,The world with hatred thrust the youth aside.....And through our grief we rise to nobler things....A well of sweetness there unbidden springs." This disc portrays the talents of two wonderful musicians: Moses Hogan,excellent pianist, creator of exciting arrangements of spirituals both for solo voice and choirs AND that countertenor
Derek Ragin with his truly lovely voice capable of great vocal technique and versatility. He has appeared in several operas; two with Michael Chance that are wondrous to listen to: Tamerlano and Agippina. Spiritual are not my favorite thing, but there are some ear-catching beauties on this one;namely:"Ole Time Religion" and "Give Me Jesus". Some others are: 'Steal Away'-'Little David Play on your Harp'-'This Little Light of Mine' and many more. Some are a cappela, some accompanied by the piano, and some by piano with choir back-up. You do not have to be a lover of spirituals to enjoy this disc. But if you are, you will be in heaven!!!!!!

I Feel the Spirit Too.......2006-08-17

Very beautiful voice, sometimes I forget that the soloist voice is that of a male singer. Would like to hear more of Moses Hogan on keyboard and his arrangements.

just excellent.......1999-06-30

Although I do not like spirituals too much, it is a must listening to this fantastic countertenor singing with Moses Hogan. For me, Derek Lee Ragin has such a brilliant voice, I never heard before in my life.

Saw the Moses Hogan chorale live in NYC and loved them!.......1998-10-16

Truly great spirituals, truly brilliant arrangements by Moses Hogan. I can't wait to collect all his CDs.

What ??.......2006-12-10

The idiot from Virginia thought it a bit strange that an American black man would give the communists a chance. Looking back from modern perspective is easier than what he had to go on in the thirtes. Gee, I wonder why a black man would do that after all that southern hospitality, segregation, and steady work you gave the "black folk". Not to mention all those nighttime campfires you had going in their honor.
While I might be from New York I certainly would not be called a bleeding heart liberal but I can certainly understand why the poor soul was looking elsewhere. You are either ignorant of history and its influences on people or you are a totally unsympathetic jackass!!

Nice Voice, but not a nice person...(read on, pls.).......2006-01-07

Paul Robeson, who was brainwashed into
beleiving Communist rhetoric (which is
strange as hell for an Amer-I-can black
man). A good singing voice but all cover
songs! Come on, Paul!

A let down.......2004-09-24

I own several Robeson recordings and purchased this one with high hopes as it has a great selection of tracks. Unfortunately given the excellent recording quality of "Songs for Free Men" and "The Paul Robeson Oddyssey", the remasters from what I assume are 78's and possibly radio are a let down and mar what could have been an excellent album.

The definitive Paul Robeson compilation.......2003-09-19

This 2 CD set of Paul Robeson is the definitive collection providing a decent overview of his work in 50 tracks all wonderfully restored from 78s as usual for ASV, with spirituals, show tunes, Shakespeare-like readings, and more done with a trademark bass voice and orchestration that backs up Paul perfectly and he would later be one of the first civil rights activists. The first disc is a reissue of the single disc "Ol' Man River-His 25 Greatest" on ASV containing "Ol' Man River," "Mighty Like a Rose," "Joshua Fit De Battle Ob Jericho," "Carry Me Back To Green Pastures," "Lazy Bones," and many more classics which is also available here at Amazon for those who only want a single disc of Paul's work and the 2nd disc contains 25 more classics including "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "The Old Folks At Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Wagon Wheels," "Git On Board, Little Children," and many more. In other words, all 50 of these tracks are essential to any early pop, folk, gospel, blues, etc. music fan and this is the set to introduce yourself to his work in a convenient 2 CD package with the usual great liner notes and details on the original 78s ASV provides with each CD released in their Living Era series.

This is the most comprehensive recording I've found of songs popular during the Civil War period. The performances are a time capsule of Civil War music.

On a High!.......2001-04-20

What a blessing it is that technology can preserve voices like this, sounding their best! This disc, like Lucia Popp's 'Children's Songs and Lullabies', shows the diva, Rita Streich, turning to the demands and restraints of the lied, her lovely coloratura voice now gay, now poignant, in all its clear purity. The spirit of different folksongs (including German, Swiss, French, Italian, English, Russian, Japanese ..) is captured beautifully by Streich, sometimes supported, admirably, by the Singgemeinschaft Rudolf Lamy and especially the Regensburger Domspatzen, notably in 'Der Burgermeister von Wesel' and 'Der Kuckuck'. Her very soft, very high notes, held or tossed off, are thrilling throughout but especially in the Mozart canon 'Ave Maria'. While the personality of the performer is not as striking as Popp's on her disc, Streich's simple rendition of a generous 32 songs gives the listener 79 minutes of magic.

Bel canto at its finest.......2001-02-24

I was overjoyed to see this recording available on CD after many years out of the catalogue. It contains some of the finest singing we are ever likely to hear from a light soprano voice.

Each of the selections has merit; the diction is clear, the voice true and sweet to its highest reaches. Mme Streich was a much-loved singer of Strauss (Richard and Johann) and Mozart and these songs are elevated from folk status to that of great individual arias. The phrasing and musicianship displayed here should be models for many of our current warbles who inhabit the worlds opera houses and concert venues.

I am madly in love with this voice. Needless to say, my review is biased, but one will go far to hear such beautiful singing by a great artist. If you would have your heart broken, and hear the meaning of true "bel canto", listen to Streich's singing of the Jewish lullaby, "Schlof sche, mein Vogele". It is guaranteed to turn stone to water and soften the hardest heart.
