Title Robeson's First Sydney Recital
Creator Contributors
Abstract/Description The voice itself might be thought too familiar from films and recordings to cause any suprise. Yet it is with a certain sense of shock that one hears Robeson speak the first words and sing the first notes of the evening. It is as if the ground were to quake in musical terms, as if a sudden fissure had openned to reveal some subterranean reservoir of resonant darkness.
