Paul Robeson recorded this 1997 compilation for Sony Masterworks, drawing from folk traditions, spirituals, and classical compositions. His distinctive baritone voice carries material ranging from the spiritual “Balm in Gilead” to pieces inspired by Russian literature like selections from Quiet Flows the Don, along with classical excerpts including Mendelssohn’s Elijah. The collection showcases Robeson’s gift for interpreting songs with spiritual and social resonance, allowing his deep, resonant instrument to shine most powerfully in slower, more contemplative material.

This CD contains tracks including “Joe Hill,” “The Peat-Bog Soldiers,” and “The Lord God of Abraham,” presented in Sony’s carefully remastered transfers. The album runs approximately 50 minutes across multiple selections that span folk, world, and country traditions. Acquire this used copy of a significant vocal recital and experience Robeson’s artistry at a fraction of retail cost.
