About

Paul Robeson was one of the greatest figures of the 20th Century. He was an athlete, a qualified lawyer, a professional singer and actor and a campaigner for human rights. In 1957, with the laying of the transatlantic telephone cable, Robeson gave his first ‘transatlantic concert’ to an audience in Manchester and to the Grand Pavilion at Porthcawl. That historic exchange with the South Wales Miners’ Eisteddfod is heard in full on this CD.
 
Robeson said at the time: “I cannot say how deeply I was moved on this occasion, for here was an audience that had adopted me as kin and though they were unseen by me, I never felt closer to them”.
