Marian Anderson: A Portrait in Music

everything from Amazon works for me.

Despite the limitations of black & white filming in the 1950’s, this DVD renders Anderson’s voice well, a special virtue being its many facial close-ups showing the wonderful feeling she imparted to whatever she sang. That said, the disk offers only 43 minutes of talk and singing, the latter devoted mainly to arrangements of spirituals. For lovers of Marian Anderson, much better coverage of her career and singing of spirituals, lieder and opera can be found on line.

Looking for more of a life story, not just music

I thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to Marion Anderson, I have always admired her for her graciousness and incredible singing. I have been fortunate to have met her in Vancouver when I was a student in high school. I will never forget that time with her..she made you feel so important. I will look for more DVD's by her.

EXCELLENT! Marian Anderson was truly one of the most remarkable, immaculate and phemomenal woman in the world of music. Her voice is unmatched - she will always be a one of kind artist. This DVD is highly recommended. Her music is for all generations and all walks of life.

For me. this is a wonderful experience.

Marian Anderson has to be one of the greatest singers of all time and this DVD captures the essense of her singing. A valued collectors' item.
