This is the voice of Free Men...........2001-11-03

I've had most of these songs on vinyl and they provide me with many wonderful memories. Paul Robeson had an unusual voice: a bass with baritone colorations, huge and powerful, with what can best be described as a mellow urgency. If that description confuses, then you'll just have to get this album and hear for yourself what I mean.
Robeson championed the cause of the working man through his music. Joe Hill is one of my favorites, in which Paul sinks down to the vocal depths with an astounding ease. The Song of the Plains is a rouser, and, if I remember correctly, it's sung in two languages. The Ballad For Americans is here, and it's a classic... and, for me, it's the very definition of America and the great spirit and soul of its people and its greatness. By and By is one of my favorite spirituals, and this is the version I remember. Who sang spirituals with as much richness and depth of feeling as Paul Robeson? Maybe Marian Anderson, whose voice was unique and whose life broke through so many barriers.
This is an album for those who love freedom and the many races who seek it. God bless Paul Robeson for his incredible contribution to humanity.

When looking for "the most".......2001-05-14

A local New York professional opera enthusiast has concluded that Corelli is the most popular operatic tenor, followed by Jussi Bjoerling. But if the question is, who had the most beautiful tenor voice ever impressed upon wax, we must lift up John McCormack. Here is true bel canto which no one else has ever equalled. These two CD's contain some of the most exquisite sounds ever issued by a human throat. Let the galleries declare their enthusiasm for stentorian high C's, the real lover of great singing will find much more to their like her than in all the verisssimo arias. Listen to the two "Mefistofele" Arias (Boito) and ask yourself if they have ever since been so beautifully sung. This recording belongs in the collection of every aspiring tenor, just to remind what can be accomplished by art and perfect singing.

A superb McCormack collection.......2000-10-21

If you remember hearing transfers of acoustic recordings to LP, you remember how hard it was to really connect with the music and performer through all the rumble, noise and resonance. This audio restoration is the most astonishing technical feat I have ever heard. The noise is now only a gentle background presence, not the roar of yesteryear. And even more important, it is constant in volume- in other words not a distraction. The fidelity really lets us hear what the early recording engineers really achieved. That said, what this brings to us are the performances of one of the world's greatest singers in richly emotional popular songs (and a few opera arias). There are so many of those old sentimental pieces no one could get away with recording anymore, but hold such a splendid reward for those of us who love them. John McCormack's recordings receive with this reissue the wonderful presentation they so richly deserve. Many many thanks to the label and Mr. Marston who made it possible.

Simply the Best.......2000-01-27

This along with Vol. 1 is simply the best McCormack transfers available from this period. The master of the trade, Ward Marston has outdone himself this time. Waiting for Vols. 3,4,5!

A whisper from the past.......2003-09-17

I had read about Adelina Patti for years, then one year I was able to find a record set of 2 records containing her recordings. I listened to it with much interest. Out of the mist and dark, the crackles and spits, came forth a wonderful voice beautifully produced even if past its prime. The portamento style was completely strange to me, and at first it sort of sounded sloppy, but on repeated listening, I learned to accept its stylistic relevance.

Well, now those same recordings (even if not quite complete as the former set I had) are out there to listen to again. The remastering is a revelation. Yes, there is surface noise, so those who can't hear past that, I would NOT recommend you buy this recording. You are NOT going to hear any flights of coloratura to take your breath away (such singing Adelina was noted for, and did well); remember, the woman was OLD when these recordings were made, and had been retired a while. Yet, even making them thrilled her, for at first hearing she screamed out "Now I know why I am Patti."

Patti was of a long ago generation that now is nothing more than a mention in the ancient history books. However, she was one singer who not only reflected the tastes of her time, but actually knew most of the composers of the music she sang. When listening to this set, one wonders, "Was that how Gounod taught her to sing the role?" The composers she sang approved of the portamento, the extremely smooth legato, and the mellow quality of her voice. We can never know for sure, but we are led to wonder just what in her singing style is a reflection of the composer's intent.

Even with age, and with a less than perfect support, Patti is able to captivate us with her charm, her personality, and yes, her singing. People have commented on how she sounds more mezzo than soprano, and that is a reflection of the way singers sang at that time. Voices were trained with a strong full lower and middle register; high notes as we are used to hearing them were not considered appealing, though at the time of these recordings they were becoming more and more acceptable. High notes were not necessarily weak, but the volume we associate with them today simply was seen as tasteless. The voice was full at the bottom, and gradually lightened, yet still very penitrating. Thus, the rich sound we hear in Patti's singing (for alas, we hear no high notes at all) was probably the natural heart of her voice throughout her career. The caressing sweet high notes she was praised for would most likely have had that same richness along with a more brilliant focus.

This is all technical, and maybe not too interesting, but it helps the buyer have an idea of what they are going to listen to. One thing I have to comment on, and that is Patti's trill. In all recording I doubt there has been a more beautiful trill recorded. It is even, warm, and so perfect. Sutherland's comes close in mellow beauty, but most sopranos, though perfectly executed, seem to have none of Patti's warmth in their trills (Melba's was technically perfect, but compared to Patti is cold and lifeless). Even Ponselle's, in all its stunning volume and briliance, has nothing on Patti.

This is not a recording for everyone, and to some hearing things like "Old folks at home" may see like a cheap shot considering Patti's greatness in an era of super great singers. Again, the woman was old, and she recorded what she could (and even a few things she couldn't do) and left us with a glimpse, even if ever so clouded, of the wonderful joys of singing audiences of the past basked in regularly.

Hers is a voice in its final bloom.......2003-08-17

I heard that Adelina Patti's voice was a delight to hear. If only the gramphone would have been invented earlier than 1888 so I could have heard her voice in its prime. The charm and fullness of her vocal technique seems to have survived alright into the time of the recording, though she sounds more mezzo than soprano. She tends to slide a bit in Lotti's "Pur de cesti". The Mozart aria "Voi che sapete" had a little too much pace in the "Sospiro gemo" part, which kind of threw her off count. But I give her credit for the work she did in recording these songs. They can also paint pictures of Victorian and Romantic delights and transport the listener to the garden of past singers where Patti's voice was in its final flowing.

Eclectic McCormack.......1998-09-10

This is a most interesting collection of McCormack in song. Many of these songs sung by McCormack on this disk I have heard him sing for the first time. McCormack sounds a bit awkward with his singing of The Battle Hymn of the Republic, and God Bless America. I rate this recording 3 stars not because if McCormack's defencies, but because of some of the poor quality 78rpm transfers. All the pops and hisses remain. A good digital transfer eliminates this annoyance so one can further enjoy McCormack's wonderful artistry. To hear McCormack's voice truly rise from the grave, I strongly recommend: McCormack in Song, Released by Nimbus
