About Prima Voce - Marian Anderson / Shaw
Amazon.com Marian Anderson's rich contralto tinged with sadness touched the hearts of many and made her one of the most-loved American singers. She's probably best known for her spirituals on recordings made in the twilight of her career. In these good transfers, she sings an ample selection of those favorites made in her prime, the late 1930s; they're no less touching and made even more compelling by the freshness of her voice, which is just as fresh in the Handel and Bach arias from the Messiah, St. Matthew Passion, and more. - -Dan Davis Product description Bach : Airs extraits des cantates BWV 81, 112, 12, de l'Oratorio de Noël, des Passions St Matthieu & St Jean - Haendel : Air du Messie "He shall feed his flock" - Negro Spirituals / Marian Anderson, contral. - RCA Symphony Orchestra, dir.
