The recording of Harry Belafonte's performance at Carnegie Hall in New York on April 19 and 20, 1959, is undoubtedly a classic that belongs in every well-stocked audiophile collection. Together with his band and a 47-piece orchestra, Belafonte succeeded in captivating the audience – and more than 60 years later, this is still the case, albeit only in your own living room or at audio fair presentations, which is still fantastic – fans and audiophiles agree on this. In addition to the varied and humorous performance by Belafonte and all the musicians involved, the fantastic recording quality, which still sets standards today, is particularly praised: the crystal-clear vocal reproduction and amazing 3-dimensionality are a real treat!
