This program seems designed primarily to display soprano Sumi Jo's fabulous singing and famous stylistic eclecticism. However, it also exhibits an admirable religious inclusiveness, encompassing expressions of faith from the Latin liturgy to Negro spirituals; there is even a Richard Strauss song that is essentially a paean to love. An incongruous note is struck by a nun's song from an operetta by Benatzky that is a corny Viennese waltz and by a soundtracklike arrangement of a 16th-century Ave Maria. Ranging from Mozart to Broadway, this musical mix is held together by Sumi Jo's ravishingly beautiful, pure, warm voice and the way she can color and inflect it, and by her mastery of every style (though not every language; her German in particular is unintelligible). Her intonation is impeccable, her breath control incredible. Jo's top notes soar triumphantly, and she can sustain them indefinitely, with enough power left to make a crescendo at the end. Highlights include Ravel's "Kaddisch," which sends shivers down the spine; arias from operas by Rossini and Donizetti; and arias from sacred works by Gounod and Fauré. Of two spirituals, the second one is simpler and more convincing. The accompanying forces are excellent; James Conlon doubles as pianist when not conducting. Susan Graham also makes an appearance in the moving invocation "Take Care of This House" from Bernstein's 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. --Edith Eisler

3 out of 5 stars Nice Voice.......2007-05-06

Sumi Jo has a beautiful voice but her renditions of Motherless Child and Amazing Grace were not impressive at all. The vibrato was too uncontrollable. The Ave Maria was so,so. I did not hear the richeness others have declared in their assesments. Don't get me wrong, the instrument is quite beautiful but only in some selected selections.

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-17

"Music and poetry emerge from man's desire to give thanks, to praise and to pray to his gods. One of the magical powers of the human voice is that it can fly, on the wings of songs (a la Mendelssohn) to heaven and appear to be in direct communication with God." Therefore, it is no surprise that prayer is omnipresent throughout the history of music. Sumi Jo has chosen an excellent representation of songs including most styles and periods which include : Baroque (Caccini)-Classical (Mozart)-Contemporary (Preisner)-Romantic Opera (Rossini,Donizetti)-German 'Singspiel'(Schubert)-Lieder (Richard Strauss)-French church music (Gounod ,Faure)-traditional music (spiritual)-Jewish melodies (Ravel)-Viennese operetta (Johann Strauss) and the American musical (Bernstein).

Sumi Jo, born in Korea,is a much sought after coloratura soprano, having triumphed on stage, and in recitals all over the world. Not being fond of coloraturas, I make an exception for her voice, because of its depth along with the very high register. She shows a great deal of sensitivity to all of her varied selections on this disc, and each delivery is a 'gem' unto itself.

I must personally comment on those works that I particularly enjoy. Hearing her sing Mozart's 'Laudate Dominum' was a real treat; it doesn't matter how often one hears that lovely piece, just like all of his music, it 'wears' well. The 'Pie Jesu' was absolutely stunning as Sumi Jo sang it, and it is a pleasure for me to hear the selection from "GIGI" by Lerner & Loewe; not being a great broadway fan, I have always liked that specific musical. I think because it was well-done when I saw it years and years ago.

This disc is abolutely totally enjoyable. There is something for all musical tastes, and the conductor/pianist James Conlon does a great job pulling it together!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Sumi Jo- coloratura supreme.......2006-04-09

One word: Lacrimosa. It haunts you and will stay with you long after you hear it. I actually forced several if my coworkers to listen to it many of which are not opera fans and even they could not argue the beauty of it. One of my coworkers was actual on the verge of tears by the end of the song.

The rest of the album is enchanting as well as breath taking. I am a harsh critic when it comes to singers so I do not give those compliments very often, nor am I easily moved by singers but Sumi Jo has certainly done that with this album.

My only complaint is that I would have liked to hear her take of "Ave Maria" by Schubert which, while recorded many times over, would complimented her voice perfectly due to it's simplicity. "Sing low sweet chariot" would have been another great one to hear but as far as spirtuals are concerned I was very happy with her acepella version of "Amazing Grace." I was never a huge fan of "Amazing Grace" since it's been done a thousand times over but she brought such seetness and emotion to it. Of course I am kind of biased becuase I offically hate the "belting" version of this song and that's how it's usually done. It's nice to hear a simple, straight forward version.

My last comment is that it's nice to hear Sumi Jo sing less operatic pieces considering most opera singers are rarely bold enough to sing anything other than classical pieces, excluding Renee Fleming of recent.

5 out of 5 stars Prayerful and beautiful.......2005-11-14

It is a refreshing change to have a collection of arias on a CD with a title that actually bears some relevance to the contents. This is indeed a prayerful collection. That means, of course, that you have to be in the appropriately contemplative mood in order to appreciate it.

Another nice change is that the orchestral accompaniment enhances the singing rather than just tagging along as an afterthought, which often seems to be the case. It is fitting that James Conlon gets equal billing here. This is splendid singing to splendid music.

Sumi Jo is comfortable in any language and in a broad range of styles. I was uncertain how she would tackle songs like Amazing Grace and Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child. I need not have worried. In the latter she reveals a soulfulness that fits the lyrics perfectly.

The only track not worthy of this collection is Bernstein's Take Care of This House. I suppose, as it is a prayer, it was an obvious song to include, and Jo sings it very well, but it is just a very poor song. That still leaves 14 excellent tracks that, if you are a lover of good singing, you will want in your collection.

5 out of 5 stars A spectalce of voice and vocalization.......2004-12-29

I bought this used from an Amazon.com dealer and it came with a cutout on the left side of the CD box. Can this specacular CD possibly have gone out of print by Christmas 2004? If so we have lost one of the benchmark recordings of this splendid artist.

Never is there a weak moment in this incredibly beautiful collection of classical bleeding chunks and spirituals. I don't think you'll confuse Sumi for your favorite spiritual singer in "Amazing Grace" and "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" but she is magnificent singing the complete and incomplete tunes elsewhere on the CD by famous classical composers including Mozart, Richard Strauss, Rossini, Schubert and Donizetti, to name some of them.

She is in wonderful voice and fresh-faced for the Loewe-Lerner "Say a prayer for me tonight" and does an equally nice job with Susan Graham accompanying Leonard Bernstein's "Take care of this house" from "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue". I'm not much for this kind of music -- I bought this exclusively for her rendition of Mozart's "Laudate Dominum" -- but it adds a dimension to the concert that brings it into the realm of popular Broadway tunes.

This is a wonderful concert of familiar and not so familiar songs from a singer whose voice is eloquent, beautiful and rich, with significant range and span from PPP to FFF. Sumi Jo controls her voice well throughout the concert, giving everyone something to think about regardelss of musical preference. This might have been improved if she'd included a Beatles tune -- maybe "Elenor Rigby" or "Yesterday" -- accompanied by the orchestra and James Conlon's direction. But it stands with any similar collection by any singer as it is.

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful album by excellent musicians........2006-03-11

    I had not heard of Richard Stoltzman (Clarinet) but this is a generous (66+ minutes)and wonderful CD. The musicians such as guitarist Gene Bertoncini and the English Chamber Orchestra are
    excellent. "Sleepless in Seattle" is an upbeat tune and "Out of Africa" is simply beautiful. An excellent variety and treatment of these movie themes. Highly recommended. P.S. - The above
    album title shows artist as "Eddie Gomez" - he does play on the album but Mr. Stoltzman is the "headliner."

    5 out of 5 stars This CD is My TREASURY!! .......2006-01-08

    First tune "The piano" made me get stuck.
    And, I was moved to tears.

    All the other tunes impress me,too.

    This item made Richard Stoltzman to became My Most Favorite Artist of the world.

    Now,10years have passed after I boght it.
    But it never fades.

      John Rutter's Feel the Spirit, for mezzo-soprano, choir, and orchestra, was premiered in June 2001 in Carnegie Hall. Made up of appealing arrangements of familiar spirituals ("Deep River," "When the Saints Go Marchin' In," etc.) in a range of styles (from big-band and the blues to Caribbean and close harmony), it was conceived as a showcase for Melanie Marshall. Her warm, creamy sound is certainly captivating, while the Cambridge Singers are fresh-voiced, flexible, and alert.

      Of equal interest are the smaller-scale Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare from George Shearing and Rutter's Birthday Madrigals, written by Rutter for Shearing's 75th birthday. Both works feature Shakespearean texts, while Rutter also sets other poets of the same period. Plenty to catch the ear here--try Shearing's wistful "Who Is Silvia?" with its naughty take on Schubert, and the delightfully snappy "Fie on sinful fantasy." Rutter's madrigals are just as beguiling, and there in the middle is an example of the kind of introspective number that displays the intriguing other side to his musical personality--a setting of "Draw On Sweet Night" as searching in its own way as John Wilbye's original madrigal. Rutter's direction is exemplary throughout. --Andrew Green

      Album Description

      Strong, stirring spirituals and tuneful, jazz-flavored settings of Shakespeare's timeless lyrics are the mouth-watering ingredients of the Cambridge Singers' eagerly-awaited new album Feel the Spirit. John Rutter has written vivid new arrangements of seven well-loved American spirituals for choir, with soloist Melanie Marshall and the BBC Concert Orchestra joining with the Cambridge Singers for this world premiere recording. Another notable `first' is jazz legend George Shearing's captivating new cycle of Shakespeare settings, Songs and Sonnets. Those who associate George Shearing with instrumental jazz (and of course with his immortal Lullaby of Birdland) will be astonished and delighted at the youthful charm and skillful word-setting of this 81-year old master's choral writing. The final touch of sparkle is added by Proms favorite Wayne Marshall's piano, with Malcolm Creese on bass. To complete the album, John Rutter's own Birthday Madrigals - written in 1995 to celebrate George Shearing's 75th birthday - also receives their premiere recording.

      “…You'd have to be a real killjoy to be able to resist this disc. FIVE STARS!”- BBC Music Magazine

      “These luscious arrangements bear repeated listening: orchestrally colorful and playfully witty… a delightful disc. Strongly recommended!” - Gramophone

      5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-05

      John Rutter states the following: "This album, which has an Anglo-America thread running through it, is a homage to three of my favorite musical traditions-the spiritual, the madrigal, and American song-and at the same time, a homage to two remarkable Englishmen,William Shakespeare and George Shearing."
      'Feel the Spirit' is a cycle of seven spirituals arranged for mezzo-soprano soloist, choir and orchestra. It premiered in June 2001 in Carnegie Hall, New York. They are quite well-known in this country, but Rutter makes them seem fresh and new.
      Rutter and Shearing were both born in London, and have similar music backgrounds. They got to know each other in America during the 1990's, when Shearing was becoming interested in choral music, at which time he wrote his second Shakespeare Song cycle, 'Songs and Sonnets'. Again the tunes chosen are quite familiar to most music lovers, and I personally find them very attractive to hear.
      I have actually performed 'The heavenly aeroplance, several times with choirs; it's fun to sing and gets an enthusiastic audience reaction every time. It is actually an Ozark folk song from the Missouri mountains to which Rutter wrote his own tune.
      The 'Lord of the Dance' is taken from an American Shaker song 'The Gift to be Simple', and was first popularized in Aaron Copland's 'Appalachian Spring'. And later used by the English hymn-writer Sydney Carter inspired by the traditional carol'Tomorrow shall be my dancing day'.
      The 'Birthday Madrigals' is Rutter's musical tribute to George Shearing on his 75th birthday, written in 1995, and can only loosely be called madrigals.
      Hoagy Carmilchael's 'Skylark' completes the album as one of the lovliest American songs from the golden age of American song.
      This is a very easy to listen to disc; a good one to put on when all you want to hear is something comfortably familiar, but not boring! It is well-sung and skillfully put together.

      4 out of 5 stars Almost Rutter............2002-03-03

      John Rutter is not only a friend, but one of my favorite composers. I have sung his music and own most of the CDs. I listened carefully to "Feel the Spirit", looking forward to another amazing study in English music combined with excellent arrangements and sensitive vocal shaping.(One of my choir friends told me I must buy the disc, which I did at her enthusiastic recommendation.) However, the disc seems to be a collage of a number of styles and ideas that may work in clumps. Some upbeat, almost jazzy arrangements have their roots with George Shearing, the venerable blind English jazz master. The spiritual arrangements were almost embarassing. I felt that the selection and treatmments thereof really didn't fit the genre of "classic" spirituals.
      John Rutter is such a beloved composer I hate to berate him even a pinch. But I feel this disc is really a classroom study in different styles, arrangements, and ideas, rather than another enjoyable Rutter disc to be played over and over again. Some of the Shakespeare songs were delightful. But, I feel the disc is somewhat uneven. However, I love John Rutter's work, and recommend this disc to those who do, also!..Madge Bruner Hazen

      5 out of 5 stars A must have for John Rutter fans.......2002-02-05

      The Cambridge Singer's have an outstanding reputation for their choral music under the direction of John Rutter. This recording lives up to Collegium's standard of high quality recordings. Rutter's "Heavenly Aeroplane" is a kick! My 11 month old kid dances to it. "Who is Sylvia" is hauntingly beautiful.

      5 out of 5 stars Vocal Drama.......2006-11-06

      The beautiful voice of Barbara Hendricks and these outstanding Sacred Songs make a great combination. I bought this CD about a decade ago and am still entraced by Mendelssohn's dramatic "Hear My Prayer" and Bernstein's powerful "Kaddish." "Hear My Prayer" is based upon Psalm 55, the very same psalm that Merton Densher quotes in Henry James' The Wings of the Dove (and thus gives the book its title).

      Barbara Hendricks is not only a great singer, but quite the actress. "Hear My Prayer" reminds me a mini-vocal drama not unlike Mahler's song cycles and choral symphonies. You feel the soprano's urgency as she sings about her confusion ("perplexed and bewildered...") her despair, "my heart is sorely pained, my soul with deathly terror is oppressed, trembling and fearfulness upon me fall, with horror overwhelmed..."), her supplication ("Thyself from my petition do not hide...O God hear my prayer") and her hope for resolution/escape, ("O for the wings of a dove, far away would I rove...in the wilderness build me a nest and remain there forever at rest"). Several states of mind and mood are explored within one 11-minute song. It takes quite the singing actress to pull this off, and Barbara Hendricks gives an exquisite rendition. The organ and chorus support this intense performance. (How I envy Hendrick's vocal control and skillful tapering of dynamics! In my next life, I will beg God to give me a voice like this! :-)

      The Bernstein "Kaddish 2" is just as remarkable in its emotional intensity. In Jewish culture, a Kaddish is a prayer recited by mourners after the death of a close relative.

      This CD features many popular sacred songs including Schubert's "Ave Maria," Bach/Gounod's "Ave Maria," and Franck's "Panis Angelicus." "Amazing Grace," one of the the world's most popular sacred songs, is also on this album. This song will always have a special place in my heart. I learned about the song's history while listening to an audiobook by Wayne Dyer ("There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem"), and I always get choked up whenever I repeat the story. The song's composer was on a slave ship bound for the Americas when it suddenly occurred to him how wrong he and the other men were to participate in slave trading--he clearly saw that the slaves were in fact equal human beings with rights and feelings, and that this was an unacceptable way to treat them. He completely regretted what he had been doing and penned the lyrics to this beautiful song. I also learned from listening to Wayne Dyer that Eastern religions call instant enlightenment "satori." It seems that the creator of one of the world's most beautiful sacred songs experienced a type of satori that we can all benefit from.

        Album Description

        "Moods of St. Mildred" is a CD of original acoustic blues music. It is especially appealing to listeners who enjoy vocal harmony and instrumentation featuring harmonica and slide guitar.

        One of the achievements of the CD is the wide variety of musical styles that are seamlessly integrated into the blues genre. Styles such as old-time Appalachian-flavored bluegrass, gospel, jazz, rhythm-and-blues, rock-and-roll, folk, and even the Cajun waltz are clearly represented in the 10 selections. Yet the predominant blues feel and overall unity of sound never varies from beginning to end.

        Another strength of the CD is the exceptional quality of the lyrics, which have been described as "two cuts above." The writing features clever turns of phrase ("How can boxcars goes so slow when forever went so fast?"), striking metaphors ("You've been a beauty since the days you were born, but loving you is like a crown of thorns."), and tongue-cheek humor (" She's absolutely perfect...more or less.")

        Listeners have also responded favorably to the vocal variety of the CD and the close, sometimes inventive harmony of the tracks. All three members of Billyblues take turns at the lead vocals and sing in three-part harmony with a tight blend developed by years of performing together.

        All in all, Billyblues' "Moods of St. Mildred" builds on the foundation of their successful first CD, "Where the River Meets the Mountains," and has proved to be appealing to traditional blues lovers as well as fans of contemporary acoustic music with more wide-ranging tastes.

        5 out of 5 stars A Very Good Mood.......2002-12-24

        This second helping of BillyBlues music slides down as delicious as their first cd. All too often later albums suffer some loss of quality. You might not be able to put your finger on it exactly, but something's not quite right anymore. Madison Avenue and Wall Street strike again.

        Well, all you blues fans out there - LISTEN UP! The BillyBlues torch has not gone out. "Moods" is sheer delight served by a unique band. Mike, Mark, and Colin lament and rollick and hit all the stops in between. These men know and love life and their Maker. They sing out strong with hearts and eyes wide open. You will be pulled right along on a toe tapping, gut wrenching, sublime journey of self discovery. Resistance is futile.

        They can carry a tune, too. Sad to say, most alleged singers popular today couldn't warble their way out of the proverbial paper sack, instead screaming or moaning in desperate constipation.

        BillyBlues takes a world besotted with sound pollution and turns it right side up at last. Oh, what a relief it is....

        Every once and awhile an album comes along that expands on the definition of music. BillyBlues' "Moods of St. Mildred's" portrays the heart of bluegrass, while maintaining subtle blues undertones. This band is something original... don't miss out!!

        5 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2002-03-06

        I discover something new to enjoy each time I listen to these guys. Crisp harmony, subtle humor, a range of very human feelings, catchy melody, and some really good guitar playing. When I'm humming one of their melodies days after listening to their CD, I know that I've found some really good music. I hope that they continue to make music and I'd like to see them get noticed by more people.

        5 out of 5 stars A Treat for the Lyricist and Musician.......2002-01-22

        It often seems that hearing a band perform live can cause a mere listener to become a true fan. This is quite the case with BillyBlues. These three performers exude a distinct feeling of love for their music, humor, and friendship while on stage. For those of you who don't have the great fortune to catch them out and around the Lexington, KY area, never fear. You will still be unable to stop your toe from tapping along with this enjoyable album.

        With backgrounds in English and communications, BillyBlues has numerous lines of clever lyrics. Their last album made a wonderful allusion to William Faulkner with the song that included the line "there's a pill for every ill except the last one." The follow-up album takes listeners on a jaunt throughout the "worldly" Kentucky, touring many of the "capitals" within the state. "Moods of St. Mildred" includes many thoughtful songs as well, encouraging a reflective state of mind.

        The musical melodies are of equal entertainment. The voices of these three blend together beautifully, and their guitars, banjos, and harmonicas are irresistable. Whether they be joined in joyful glee as on the "Pumpkin Pie" track, or in the more calm and reassuring harmonies of "Hold On," the music is quite enjoyable.

        Concert goers are surely convinced that BillyBlues has a good time playing their music, and listeners will have just as good of a time hearing them play it.

        Album Description

        You Feel This Good is a savory blend of Colleen's wonderland lyrics, jaw drop singing, remarkable production, and some genre-crossing musical styles. You'll love it. Better than chocolate.

        Both the sophistication of Colleen's writing and the technical production of the music and sound have reached a new level. You'll distinctly hear Colleen music that sometimes has a tinge of reggae, a toss of blues, a smidgen of middle-eastern spice, lots of rock (of course!), and even a faint pinch of flavourful country.

        As you've come to know and count on from Colleen - the lyrics are poetry: artistic and communicative. An oowey, gooey deeply satisfying treat.

        I got this CD for Christmas and haven't stopped listening to it since. The music is good; Colleen has a great voice and a talented band. While best described as rock, every song has a slightly different sound with tinges ranging from reggae to middle-eastern which keeps the album interesting. In addition she is an amazing songwriter--the lyrics are pure poetry.

        This is my first album by Colleen, but based on it I definitely plan to purchase more. I cannot recommend it enough.
