CD REVIEW: Music for the the ADHD Brain: SPIRITUALS IN CONCERT

Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman(1991, Deutsche Gramophone)All Posts

I have loved “spirituals” ever since I started to sing in choirs. This CD with these superb arrangements of traditional black spirituals are exceptional!  I receive a lot of peace when I listen to this type of music. I usually sing along either the melodies or the harmonies, if I know the piece.  Both Kathleen Battle and the late Jessye Norman are fantastic singers and are so talented, that they both can sing and perform anything!

I especially love the pieces “ In the Great Getting Up Morning”, “Oh What a Beautiful City,” and “Ride On, King Jesus” (Norman) and “There is a Balm in Gilead” (Battle).  This whole CD is so exceptional, and I hope that you will enjoy it!
