Music reviews of Sacred Harp Singing
Music Review: music to move you...
Rating: 5 Stars
While the three-star reviewer does have a point (the recording quality on this disc is not as clear as say the southern journey recordings), this should only be of minor consequence. Alan Lomax himself stated that this attempt at recording a sacred harp singing was not as successful as his later attempts in stereo (refer once again to southern journey). However, the recordings are not necessarily unclear or "muddy" as the aforementioned reviewer put it. They are quite clear enough to hear just how emotional and moving these renditions are. While the recording quality is not as good as some other discs, I prefer versions of songs on this disc to others I've heard (David's Lamentation, Wondrous Love, etc.) It also contains the only recorded version I've heard of "Lover of the Lord", a wonderful sort of curiosity within this set, with a sound all its own. For the historical value and notable renditions contained on this disc, it is more than worth your investment. The only prerequisite is that you know what you're getting into: This is some of the most authentic, unabashed and powerful music you're likely to hear, regardless of when or how it was recorded.
