Harry Belafonte

Belafonte at Carnegie Hall

First released

Belafonte at Carnegie Hall was recorded live at Carnegie Hall in New York on April 2, 1962, capturing Harry Belafonte performing in front of a large audience. The album was produced by George Avakian for RCA Records, utilizing live recording techniques appropriate for concert documentation of that era. The recording showcased Belafonte's performance of calypso, folk, and popular songs with his accompanying musicians and orchestra. The live format allowed for capturing the energy and spontaneity of the performance rather than the controlled environment of a studio recording. The album became commercially successful and demonstrated the viability of live recordings as major label releases during the early 1960s.
