Our Take

Black Swans - The Earliest African-American Classical Stars 1917-22, is a time machine that transports you straight to the 1920s, where the air is filled with the enchanting melodies of some truly remarkable musicians.

Harry Burleigh, Edward H.S. Boatner, Florence Cole-Talbert, R. Nathaniel Dett, Antoinette Garnes, Roland Hayes, Clarence Cameron White, and Hattie King Reavis are the unsung heroes of classical music, whose talent and perseverance paved the way for future generations of African-American musicians.

From the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Florence Cole-Talbert to the powerful orchestration of R. Nathaniel Dett, each track on this album is a testament to the resilience and creativity of these ground-breaking artists.

The standout track, "Black Swans," performed by Roland Hayes, is a mesmerising blend of soulful vocals and intricate instrumentation that will leave you spellbound.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each track impeccably remastered to bring out the nuances of these historic recordings. It's like taking a trip back in time and experiencing firsthand the magic of these pioneering musicians.

In a world where classical music is often dominated by white male composers, Black Swans - The Earliest African-American Classical Stars 1917-22 is a refreshing reminder of the diverse voices that have always been a part of this genre. So do yourself a favour and give this album a listen - you won't be disappointed.
