I first became aware of Sumi Jo by reading a review of her Christmas album in a newspaper. It was said she had an amazing voice, so I decided to look for her CD on Amazon. After doing that, I decided to actually buy this album instead, as the Christmas one had mixed reviews. I have definitely not been disappointed, she has an amazing talent and the tracks on this album are all outstanding. I can honestly say that there is not one track which I do not like. Although I play this album to relax to, all of the songs have a strength to them, whether it is in the composition itself or behind Sumi Jo's vocal talent. An example of this is "Amazing Grace", a track where there is only Jo singing, yet it has such power it is breathtaking.
I'm really glad I discovered this album, it is one I shall treasure for a long time yet.

It is a refreshing change to have a collection of arias on a CD with a title that actually bears some relevance to the contents. This is indeed a prayerful collection. That means, of course, that you have to be in the appropriately contemplative mood in order to appreciate it.
Another nice change is that the orchestral accompaniment enhances the singing rather than just tagging along as an afterthought, which often seems to be the case. It is fitting that James Conlon gets equal billing here. This is splendid singing to splendid music.
Sumi Jo is comfortable in any language and in a broad range of styles. I was uncertain how she would tackle songs like Amazing Grace and Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child. I need not have worried. In the latter she reveals a soulfulness that fits the lyrics perfectly.
The only track not worthy of this collection is Bernstein's Take Care of This House. I suppose, as it is a prayer, it was an obvious song to include, and Jo sings it very well, but it is just a very poor song. That still leaves 14 excellent tracks that, if you are a lover of good singing, you will want in your collection.

Wonderfull sensations when hearing this so beautiful interpretation.
Just a reservation : I can't read this CD on any personal computer... so I have to carry my DVD reader everywhere with me, that's not really simple to do!
