Editorial Review:

Today's gospel is more eclectic than ever before. While remaining true to the spiritual and historical roots, gospel artists welcome different styles and varieties to keep things interesting. But Morris Robinson's Going Home has to be a first: gospel and opera? Sure, there's a dramatic flair to both, but the marriage of these two distinctive sounds comes across as quite fresh. Pulling a song list from many traditional gospel songs, bassist extraordinaire Robinson commands attention with his vocal presence. Song arrangements will also pique your interest, from the soft jazzy opener "Walk With Me" to "Lord, I Want to Be a Christian" and "Go Tell It on the Mountain," thanks to the great studio work from Cyrus Chestnut (piano), Lionel Loueke, and Jonathan DuBose (guitars). With a change of gears, "Go Down Moses" sounds more like something from a soundtrack or opera, thanks to the classy Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Big Mo shows he also can change styles, and he relaxes the operatic voice on "Sister Mary" and "Were You There?" Perhaps the most brilliant fireworks come on the title track, as Robinson and the Royal Philharmonic weave their sounds into a powerful sonic climax that should shake any foundation. And to add to the variety, Robinson quickly follows with the old-time gospel testimonial "His Eye Is On the Sparrow," complemented nicely by Joseph Joubert on the keys and sung by Robinson with the same power and emotion he called upon when singing it at his mother's funeral. An amazing piece of work, Robinson's Going Home is a knockout punch. --Michael Lyttle

Morris Robinson has the richest, smoothest bass voice I have enjoyed in a while. The content of GOING HOME is comforting and encouraging; the sound is equally so. Robinson sounds as though he would be as comfortable at the Met as he is in a "down home" little church. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to give it as a gift to several friends.Going Home

Each time I listen to this CD, I get a little teary eyed because of all the emotion that is put into the music. I am currently working with Mr. Robinson in the Pittsburgh Opera's production of Aida where he is portraying Ramfis. Mr. Robinson has a wonderful rich, bass voice. He is alsom one of the nicest, most considerate performers that I have worked with. I wish Morris only the best in the coming years and hope I get to work with him again. He's going to be a huge star in the next few years.

Morris robinson has such potential. If you like powerful bass singing, you cannot help but find this man compelling. You could only write a negative review if you felt that no artist ever evolves, improves, or changes. Let's consider Paul Robeson- like Robinson, he was a big, commanding presence; football player in college (All American Rutgers),a singing talent forged more in the church than in a musical conservatory. His early work was recorded with minimalist accompaniment. I am persuaded ... Read More

I heared a editorial about this guy on npr and it was pretty cool so i bought the cd. but in reality it is pretty cheesy and not very well organized. opera, gospel, and smooth jazz just dont go together that well. too bad cause morris has an amazing voice and it could have been a spectacular album, but i don't think they put that much energy into it. elevator music.

Morris Robinson's voice is swoon-worthy: so rich, resonant and true that this listener got cold chills listening to it for the first time. His pitch is always bang-on, he possesses an awesome breadth of expression and dynamics, and it is with regret that one hears the last note end. This CD was a gift from a friend, and I cannot WAIT to hear Mr. Robinson's operatic roles. That said, this collection of spirituals and gospel songs is superb. The arrangements vary from simple to a bit over-the-top, ... Read More

Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.

lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
