The life of Teresa Sterne is as noteworthy as the label she once presided over (Nonesuch). As a child prodigy, she successfully filled world-class auditoriums in the 1940s with audiences eager to hear her piano playing. Then, inexplicably, Sterne abandoned her concert career only to resurface as the leader behind Nonesuch Records in the late 1960s, turning the budget classical label into one of the more adventurous and consistently rewarding labels around (and generally keeping quiet about her earlier fame). Half of this double-CD tribute collects recordings of a teenage Sterne at the keyboard; the second disc is devoted to some of the finest recordings from her Nonesuch tenure (1965-1979)--both are engrossing.

Ignore the surface noise on Sterne's disc (no small task on the Mozart Piano Concerto No. 20), and you'll hear a young pianist in fine form--she is expressive, and boasts crisp articulation and fine technique. She dances through Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13 with riveting intensity; on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 (with the New York Philharmonic), she shows a sensitive but no less virtuosic side. On the second disc, we get a virtual best-of for Nonesuch Records, including tracks by Joshua Rifkin, Paul Jacobs, and William Bolcom. Hard to imagine anyone doing it these days, but in one five-year period (1970-1975), Nonesuch released albums featuring the music of Stephen Foster, Edgar Varese, George Crumb, and a platter of Bulgarian folk tunes. They're all here. Now battling Lou Gehrig's disease, Sterne herself may be unable to celebrate this release, but for anyone who has treasured a release from Nonesuch's glory days, it's a moving tribute. --Jason Verlinde

Spirituals Masterpiece.......2007-01-22

This is a northern European choir doing southern negro spirituals. Sounds odd but it is one of the best that I have heard. The best single is "Ain't Got Time To Die".

A winner from start to finish.......2000-11-22

A cyberfriend from the N. Y. Times Classical Music Forum, an American ex-patriot living in Sweden, knowing my liking for the music of Paul Winter, particularly his sax/organ duets with Paul Halley, recommended this Anders Paulsson album. His reasoning was straightforward: This unique and totally fresh album includes three such duets: Lullaby for Joe Rubin, Anthem for the Homeless, and Toccata in D, all written by Paulsson.They are brilliant, and brilliantly performed, in a style that is quite unlike the "Cathedral blues" style of Winter and Halley, now celebrating the 20th year of their collaboration.

Paulsson is an instrumentalist on this horn the likes of which I don't believe I've ever heard. I consider myself a "student" of Paulsson's instrument, thanks to Winter, and am therefore familiar with other European soprano saxophonists such as Jan Garbarek and John Harle. But I was totally unprepared for Paulsson's technique, which is, in a word, staggering. While I continue to prefer Paul Winter's way with phrasing and improvisation, and, most particularly, embrochure and tone quality, I cheerfully concede that Anders Paulsson may well be the most proficient technician of this often-misplayed instrument. (Think "Kenny G" to get my point.) Pride of place in these three duets clearly goes to Toccata in D, Paulsson's Op. 20, a tour de force for him and Andrew Canning on organ.

But the album title is about singing, and singing of some well-known and not-so-well-known spirituals is the main focus of the album. And the singing is simply drop-dead gorgeous, by the St. Jacob's Chamber Choir of Stockholm. Led for more than fifteen years by Gary Graden, another American ex-patriot, their voices, and their clear English diction, might well have come from a gospel choir in these United States. The opening track, Deep River, is worth the cost of the album by itself.

Approximately in the middle of the album is a cantata in seven parts entitled Feet of Jesus, based on texts by Langston Hughes, the great African-American "blues poet" of the Harlem Renaissance. Written by Judith Cloud, a composer from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, this cantata is the centerpiece and the true highlight of the album, notwithstanding all the good points already mentioned about both the spirituals and Paulsson's own compositions and duets. Very moving; beautifully done.

In preparing this review, I of course had the opportunity to read Professor Cloud's comments about her composition and its inspiration, written elsewhere on this album page. It's a small world indeed when one reads that a large part of her inspiration came from a performance by Anders Paulsson that she had earlier heard in the marvelous acoustic space of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, where Paul Winter is the principal artist in residence.

I thank my American friend living in Sweden for bringing this terrific album to my attention. Otherwise, I might well have missed it completely. Here's hoping that my thoughts on it will work the same wonders on you that the music has on me.

Wonderful.......1999-09-01

This is no easy listening or spectacular commercial gospel. But this music is so warm and heartfelt it really touches you deep inside. Astonishing work by one of the best choirs in the world.

I give this recording my highest recommendation!.......1999-05-26

Gary Graden's Kammarkör proves, again, the power of music to soothe the spirit and inspire the soul. "Spiritual" not just as it evokes the rich repertoire of African-American song, this recording moves the spirit in contemporary ways from Anders Paulsson's plaintive soprano sax to John Williams's (baritone) urgent rendition of "Before the Marvel of the Night" and the concluding South African "Honono." Williams joins Marymal Holmes (soprano) in an exquisitely beautiful rendition of "Bright Morning Stars" also arranged by Paulsson. Judith Cloud's "Feet of Jesus" is, from warm saxophone introduction to dramatic close, an elegant addition to American spiritual music. Cloud sets the Langston Hughes poem perfectly. Her spirited "Shout" and "Fire" complement a loving "Gather up in the arms of your pity the sick, the depraved, the desperate, the tired...." reaching the innermost recesses of the spirit and pulling from it something redeeming of humankind. The recording techniques are first-rate. To those who expect not only professional technique, but also heartfelt music, put this CD in your player and you'll never take it out!
