Our Take

Marian Anderson, the legendary American contralto, is celebrated in this compilation album, "Very Best Of Marian Anderson." Fusing together a diverse range of genres - from opera to Lieder to anthems and spirituals - Anderson showcases her vocal prowess and versatility in a truly captivating manner.

The album kicks off with Anderson's rendition of the traditional spiritual "Deep River," setting the tone for the hauntingly beautiful tracks that follow. Her operatic performances, such as "Samson et Dalila: Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" and "Aida: O terra addio," are brimming with emotion and technical brilliance, demonstrating why she remains a revered figure in the classical music world.

However, it's Anderson's interpretation of Lieder, such as Schubert's "Ave Maria," that truly shines on this album. Her delicate phrasing and emotional depth elevate these songs to a whole new level, showcasing her ability to connect with her audience on a profound level.

Overall, "Very Best Of Marian Anderson" is a testament to Anderson's enduring legacy as a trailblazer in the world of classical music. Her voice, with its richness and depth, continues to captivate listeners decades after her heyday. A must-listen for anyone looking to experience the magic of one of the greatest contraltos of all time.
