Title: Beyond the Music
Artist: Anderson, Marian
Label: Masterworks
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 194398364926
Genre: Classical, Classical Vocal Crossover

Limited 15 CD set. Beyond the Music celebrates contralto Marian Anderson, the first black singer at the Met. This is the first release of Marian Anderson's complete recorded legacy for RCA Victor. Along with the first-ever complete release of her legendary Farewell Recital at Constitution Hall in 1964, many recordings appear here on CD for the first time. From her debut in 1924 for the Victor label to her last LP from 1966, all recordings have been meticulously restored and remastered from the original analog masters using 24 bit / 96 kHz technology. 72 works are appearing on CD for the first time, 9 recordings previously unreleased. The 228-page coffee-table book is richly illustrated with numerous photos and facsimiles, a new essay by Raymond Arsenault - author of The Sound of Freedom and Freedom Riders - and full discographical notes. It is a homage to the artistic life of a singer "one is privileged to hear only once in a hundred years" (Toscanini) and who left us a legacy of humanity, generosity, talent, and faith.
