An absolute memorable rendition from this great singer.Many thanks.

Another great aria and video of Marian Anderson. I can hear and feel the energy of MA's spirit in this mélodie. This is an extremely difficult piece to perform but MA makes it sound fresh and new. Plaisir d'amour

 Ne dure qu'un moment: Chagrin d'amour dure toute la vie. J'ai tout quitté pour l'ingrate Sylvie; Elle me quitte et prend un autre amant.

What a woman and what a voice.

[MultiShades]

I feel good --and this is great music for the ones that are sitting infront of the fire place watching Sarshankredemtion...........

[Teddyb1939]

Such feeling in the voice, Marian Anderson is a magic singer. Great version of this lovely song.

[Tenderness6]

@tHEnOOSEsWING Beautifully sung. Have you ever heard Paul Robeson singing Plaisir d'Amour? It is also a feast to the ear.

매우 고전적인 창법이군요. 저음으로 부르다 보니, 우리의 심장을 찌르는 듯한 젊은 벨칸토 창법의 가수들과 너무나 다른 무드가 나는군요. 그때는 그래도 이런 창법이 통했겠지요? ㅎㅎㅎ. 시대라는 것은 모든 예술의 형태를 변화시키며 기묘한 맛을 남기는 모양입니다. 이런 건 도무지---. ㅎㅎ.

A stunning performance of this achingly beautiful song. A recording to cherish.

Look up Marion Anderson Wikipedia it will explain what happened to her in 1939 and thats just one example of the bigotry we had back then, not the same today when race and religion does not matter in opera here.

[halavey]

She was really treated like crap by the women for one example of the daughters of the american rev. they tried to barred her from singing in washington but Elinor Roosevelt stepped in and fixed it up, a great lady also so she sang anyhow. Look it up probably on Wikpedia under Marion Anderson. Perhaps had she been white she would have been at the met sooner. Her debut was not until 1955 in Ballo. she went through a lot like sports people who where black and some Jews like Hank Greenberg.

HI halavey! Please tell me if you know more about this lady and her beautiful warm voice. In what way was she treated terribly?Thanks a lot. This is a beautiful version of this song!

[meltzerboy]

It is a lovely performance. But have you heard Victoria de los Angeles sing it in her later years (on YT)?
