Free Music Notes for Sumi Jo - Prayers / James Conlon
Free Music Review: Awesome and heavenly music!
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time, I listened to this CD, I was a bit disappointed because some of the song titles on the CD did not have the familiar music that I and I suppose most musically untrained people would be familiar with; however, once I continued to listen to this CD several times over; before long the new melodies or tunes had grown on me. I now have come to appreciate and now even love very much the arrangements of some of the songs that before I was not familiar with. (examples: Caccini's Ave Maria; Faure's Pie Jesu; Gounod's Sanctus; and Preisner's Lacrimosa) Of course, Sumi Jo's voice is beautiful and only makes listening to this sacred pieces a more heavenly experience!!!! If you appreciate beautiful classical sacred music, you will love this CD!
Sumi Jo - Prayers / James Conlon Poster
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 Faur?. 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 EislerClassical Music CDs
