Reads From The Life & Passion Of Jesus Christ
Charlton Heston/Roland Hayes
Released:
Nov 2003
Label:
Vanguard Classics
One of the all-time great voices, classic actor and patron saint of gun nuts Charlton Heston dramatically runs through a condensed version of the New Testament. Alternating between his booming baritone and incredibly relaxing "normal" speaking voice, Heston injects his barrel-chested personality into every syllable in the text. An ecumenical choir backs him up, performing both stiff-backed liturgy music and old timey gospel (think Go Tell It On the Mountain peformed by Kelsey Grammar) in the same ultra white voices. Very strange album.
