Chandos records has just released “The Film Music of Mischa Spoliansky” CD where Mark was honored to sing 5 songs originally written for and sung by Paul Robeson in the films ‘Sanders of the River’ and ‘King Solomon’s Mines’.BBC Concert Orchestra, Rumon Gamba – Conductor Mark Coles sings Spoliansky’s haunting melodies with sensitivity and a real feel for the material. FilmScore “Roderick Elms is the soloist and Mark Coles does wonders for me, by at last making acceptable to my ears the doleful songs from Sanders of the River.” – Byline: Peter Spaull The Film Library BEST FILM MUSIC COMPILATION ALBUM OR BOX SET As daunting as Robeson’s bass was, Mark Coles does a fine job emulating his timbre, but is especially effective with supple grace on the delicate ‘Congo Lullaby’ from “Sanders”. ‘Wagon Song’ from “King Soloman’s” sounds like a spiritual by way of Copland, a melody that is then lifted into a subtly jazzy manifesto in ‘Moderato’.
