## Description

‘Perhaps the finest bel canto tenor of our times’ (The Washington Times), Lawrence Brownlee displays the breadth of his repertoire – from art song to spectacular bel canto to spirituals – and unveils a ‘supple, luminous’ lyric tenor voice that has won acclaim from New York's Metropolitan Opera to the concert halls of Europe.WorksSPIRITUAL arr.

H.T. BURLEIGH 1866–1949 Sometimes I feel like a motherless childPress Reviews"... one of the world's leading bel canto tenors is Lawrence Brownlee. He has a smooth vocal style with a gleaming top. His new album, “This Heart that Flutters,” with pianist Iain Burnside, contains pieces from both live concerts and studio recordings. It's been a long wait for another star African-American tenor since the time of George Shirley but Brownlee has the talent, both as an opera singer and as a recitalist." (Epoch Times) "Brownlee has a prodigious technique in florid music...One does not have to listen beyond the first two lines of Duparc's Chanson triste to realize that Brownlee commands a laudable legato...This is a recital of many delights, with both Brownlee and Burnside on top form." (International Record Review)"[Lawrence Brownlee's voice] possess a warm timbre and a sensational accuracy in the top notes."

    "Incredible voice -- magnificent artist!"
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2014*

When I purchased this disc, I had no idea of what to expect from the singer. Perhaps I had been misled by  the CD cover photo which seems designed to make the purchaser see Brownlee more as a casual subway rider than as a distinguished international artist. That  photo is certainly a bad management and marketing decision when so much of the  talk and print media have been rushing to label young black men as "thugs." However, it only took a few bars of the opening Spiritual to assure me that here was a uniquely beautiful voice, freely produced, and artistically used. I cannot account for the placement of the first Spiritual at the beginning of the disc rather than at the end with the other Spiritual. While this is bad programming, it did not detract from the beauty of the singing. I have one suggestion for Mr. Brownlee as a flowering artist: that he give the same respect to classically arranged Spirituals that he gives to the music of Duparc and Donizetti! There were several note inaccuracies in the "Deep River" that betray carelessness and the acceptance of the false assumption that black singers  naturally sing Spirituals well. The truth is that  black or white singers will only sing Spirituals well if they study them and sing them correctly. They are not Gospel, they are not Jazz, and the artist is not free to improvise on what the arranger wrote. Verdi articulated the rule to follow when he said he did not believe in the creative singer, just sing his  music exactly as he wrote it.The repertoire on this recital is varied, interesting and well-chosen: Duparc Songs, the Liszt Petrarch Sonnets, 4 Songs of Ben Moore; Five Songs of Ginastera, 2 Spirituals, and Arias of Donizetti and Rossini. I have not heard the Duparc Songs sung so beautifully since Leopold Simoneau. I don't think I have ever heard the Liszt Sonnets played and sung so well. Both sets were almost mesmerizing. The arias revealed a voice with the incomparable top notes of Pavarotti but with far superior flexibility and without the almost ugly and mechanical machinations of Pavarotti in the middle register as he prepared to sing those notes above High "C". There is no doubt that with great management and guidance, Brownlee can become the premiere Bel Canto tenor of this era. I urge him  to get off the "Gospel and Jazz-inspired Spirituals" kick and focus on the great literature. If he wants to do an album of Spirituals, do the best of the classically arranged ones and include the "Cantata on Spirituals" of John Carter. He should explore the best arrangements of Hall Johnson, Margaret Bonds, Nathaniel Dett, Edward Boatner, William Grant Still, Florence Price, and Roland Hayes. Their works need a new voice. He should add them to the great operatic and song literature and leave an enviable legacy. Customers will enjoy every moment of this recording. Thumbs up -- all the way!

    Tones of silver and gold
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2017*

I enjoyed this CD immensely. Mr. Brownlee's vocal technique is virtually flawless and particularly satisfying when he employs the full range of vocal dynamics and color to the interpretation of the texts. I found the two selections of spirituals somewhat unsatisfying because of a lack of communication of the depth of suffering inherent in the songs' lyrics. In spite of that, I am very glad I have this and other CDs by Mr. Brownlee and only look forward to more illuminating releases that will come in the future.

    Serious fireworks
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2014*

Some quite spectacular singing, some striking if unfamiliar repertoire. A timely display of virtuosity in nearly direct competition with established star Florez and newcomers Spyres and  Camarena. Tenor collectors who love those high notes will be dazzled.
