The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
I’m Amazed… Live
INO Records

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir (BTC) is widely known for its award winning music. What started out as an extension of her husband’s ministry, Carol Cymbala, the choir director, has built into a resounding success. To its credit the BTC has performed 33 plus years with 22 albums, 6 Grammy awards, and sales in the millions. Each new project is fresh and exciting with new song selections, many of which Carol has written.

The latest project from the choir is nothing less than what you would expect from such a well-groomed choir. This most recent recording livens up the collection with a diverse mix of styles including black gospel, southern gospel, praise and worship, and classical music. What really makes the choir inspiring is the mix of voices that come from an ordinary congregation. Throughout the history of the BTC, Carol Cymbala has had many opportunities to ministry through the choir. Whether it be drawing people in off the streets, or giving ordinary people an outlet to sing their praises to the Lord, she has done it through the choir.

If choir music is your personal choice of music, then I’m Amazed… Live is the right choice for you. The massive choir powerfully moves you through a hand-clapping, upbeat, and sometimes modern, joyful experience that will move you emotionally and physically, from the depths of your heart and soul.

Proceeds from the album sales will again go towards funding church ministries like the “Adult Literacy Program,” which helps people earn their GEDs and high school diplomas.
