5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 8, 2007

I heard this amazing voice and person on NPR's "All Things Considered" in an interview. I was driving to a relative's house to seek safer surroundings and electricity after a tornado. I left my house stressed and tense. Hearing Morris Robinson's interview and the music clips absolutely soothed my soul. Not even an hour after I reached electricity and internet service, I ordered the cd. I received it yesterday. After a day of volunteering at a coworkers severly damaged house, I came home, listened, and my soul was soothed once again. Beautiful voice, moving spirit, wonderful new arrangements on traditional spirituals. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars SWEET JESUS!, March 10, 2007

I had the pleasure of hearing Rigoletto, where the Sparafucile fell ill and was replaced by Morris Robinson. He sang the entire role, plainclothed and from the orchestral pit. The voice BOOMED over everything and had a richness unlike anything I have heard in person (besides in the voice of Ewa Podles).

A few months later, my friends and I were still raving about how his voice had ripped the paint off the theater walls. SO a friend took took me to the Cincinnati May Festival to see his Osmin. In a significantly larger hall the same effect was present. From top to bottom, Morris' voice is a formidable instrument with no apparent weaknesses. In this music, which was created initially to bring joy to those hearing it, his voice is perfectly suited. I'd encourage anyone to purchase this album and if given the opportunity, SEE THIS SINGER IN PERSON.
