Liner notes by Bob Bollard
The shows from this collection were held in June of 1959 as benefit performances at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Belafonte draws deeply from his back catalog, offering a wide scope of styles and interpretations as the artist pushes the creative boundaries into a variety of native folk music. His stories and fables are melodically woven with accompaniment supplied by diverse ensembles. They range from the sole acoustic guitarist and hand percussion heard on "Darlin' Cora" to the 47-piece orchestra incorporated into the epic singalong "Mathilda." Belafonte's presentation is divided into several disparate themes and motifs. "Moods of the American Negro" contains the soul-stirring tales of "John Henry" and the emotive "Sylvie," while "In the Caribbean" conjures up favorites, including his trademark calypso anthems "Day-O," "Jamaica Farewell," and the cerebrally solemn "All My Trials." He concludes with "'Round the World," a catchall that boasts selections extending from the traditional Jewish "Hava Nageela" to the sublime "Danny Boy" and equally captivating "Shenandoah." The program ends with a nearly quarter-hour "Mathilda," allowing the audience to participate in a call-and-response of the chorus in which Belafonte summons a reaction from specific demographics and patrons within the venue -- such as "women over 40" and "people in the tiers." At Carnegie Hall, remains a testament to Harry Belafonte as a formidable and thoroughly entertaining presence at the zenith of his abilities. ~ Lindsay Planer
