This live recording was produced by Bob Bollard at New Yorkâ??s famed Carnegie Hall and features material culled from two identical performances on April 19 and April 20, 1959. 'Belafonte At Carnegie Hall' was documented at the height of the singerâ??s success when it wasnâ??t fashionable to record outside of the studio environment. The revered 19-track affair is divided into the three acts Moods of the American Negro, In the Caribbean, and Round the World, and finds Belafonteâ??s world class voice wonderfully supported by a small combo of two guitars, bass, and percussion, and a perfectly timed 47-piece orchestra conducted by Robert Corman. - ..
