@aspergershawn -- I'll have to get that biography by Allan Keilor. Thank you for mentioning it. In my younger years I read Marian Anderson's autobiography: "My Lord, What a Morning." It is written in the warm simplicity that is this great singer's extraordinary quality.

who conducts?

Thank you so very much. Thank you for keeping alive the testimony to life and love that this woman possessed. As a white man, I am so grateful that Marian Anderson has gotten her due (or do we ever?) Her voice and interpretations were heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

I just read the biography of Marian Anderson written by Allan Keilor and her career and life is absolutely amazing. This music is so beautiful and so was Marian Anderson.

Playing a collection of the rapsody-versions, it's wonderful to run into this one.Great photo-set.

I'm soooooo glad Ms. Anderson was recognized with such a voice like hers during a time when not only a woman was recognized for their talents...but an African American woman. Just awesome!!!! A true American treasure

Breathtaking performance! Thank you
for this treasure!



I was told about Marian only today Oct. 16, 2007. I immeadiately looked her up and found a treasure. Thank you Lord for sending her to us and for the opportunity to listen to recordings after you took her back.

Extraordinary! I had never imagined Marian Anderson to be so wonderful. One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

And you were not yet born when she sang that ! She is as important to me as M.L.King. Due to my remembrances, I weep everytime I listen to her. Many thanks for your so beautiful comment.
