The rarest of female voices --- a TRUE contralto ---- as rare as hen's teeth. Marian Anderson, along with Paul Robeson, were endowed with vocal gifts so awesome that it amazes me that the world was lucky enough to have these two vocal paragons exist at all. Their recordings keep them alive.
You can feel her spirit as she sings..it more or less goes right thru your body..and this 75 years after the recording, on tinny computer speakers..amazing..can you imagine what it must have felt like to hear her singing in the same room with her? Would reduce you to tears..
I CAN! for those you had the honor and pleasure of listening to her...whichever means, face-to-face must have been extraordinary, but I used to listen to her as a child from an LP VINYL RECORD (yes, I'm that old ;)) that my daddy had bought back in the 70's. I was very young but I shivered when I first listened to her...and still do.
Mi abuela la había escuchado cuando ella canto en el teatro Solis de Montevideo, y cada vez que en mi niñez se oía por la radio , ella me decia: "presta atención, esta cantante es maravillosa". y si que lo fue, adoro su timbre de contralto.
As I listen to her beatiful voice, I scan all the nice previous comments by others, and it makes me very proud of all you people who are so positive and complimentary of someone so deserving.
Richard Chandler Perhaps others have made derogatory comments about Marian on the basis of her colour? I don't know, but I think Jill's comment was well intentioned.
+coralarch --- I do think the same. Some times, in the comments of many many videos, there is always stupids comments from peoples who dislike such or such artist. When you don't like, it's your right, but just go away and shut up. I think that Jill Dowlat meant that but was more polite then me, not condescending.
She went to Colombia, South America when I was a teenager and I heard her live in Cali, Colombia, since then she captivated me with her wonderful deep voice and talent.
Hello. I'm a Japanese. I really love African-American music and culture. So I'm learning African-American history. However, I don't know what I should say because when I'm listening to this song, I cry. Her voice is too beautiful but is very sad... I really respect her and African-American people. Because African-American people have strong spirits for their lives. I learn it from African-American music and culture. I really appreciate Jesus because I could meet African-American music and culture. I'll love it whole my life and really respect it.
Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson. Great singers and great Americans unjustly treated in their day. Their music, their example, and their legacy live on.
Had elderly aunt who died in 1970s who loved listening to Marian Anderson. Have just become interested in who she was and am delighted to hear her on CZcams. What a lovely voice. Marie T.
These days, with so many social injusticies going round especially in the 'new' continent, our hearts are illumined and our spirits lifted with her wonderful voice...Not only was she the most exquisite singer of her time but also a strong-willed activist who "shattered racial barriers" in her time. Long live Marian Anderson in our hearts across the globe! Regards from Catalonia.
I'm only "12" and it's Black History Month and this beautiful wonderful amazing lady right here I'm writing about her voice is everything for Black History Month I am going to be her I will be her I'm going to challenge myself.
Tatiana, that's wonderful that you are inspired by this magnificent woman! Keep reaching for the stars and don't let ANYONE tell you it's not achievable. I don't know you, but I'm proud of you!
Marian Andersons dress she wore at the Lincoln Memorial performance went on display today at the new African American history museum in Washington DC. She would come to visit my mother i when i was a child.
I have the instrumental of this song on a 60 song album called Reflections. The music was so beautiful I Googled the song and found the lyrics and on this site the song beautifully sung. It reminds me that down through the ages, God has always been a refuge for the oppressed and suffering - giving hope of eternal life to those who receive Christ and shelter under His mighty wings.
Mark Jones I am speechless...Wow!!!!! God Bless You for sharing such Greatness! May Peace Prevail for Our Nation and Our People as we move forward (I try to put my worries and trepidation to rest, but my heart cannot be still) I PRAY Our Lord breaks through in the fullest way, to fill this man who is set to be our next President with TRUE COMPASSION & DEEP CONCERN FOR ALL OF US... The Almighty loves us, doesn't matter if we've sinned most of our lives; Mr. Trump only need to pray with an earnest and true heart to the Lord for the guidance we all sense he needs. It is a huge responsibility he has fought to win & I am not entirely sure if his heart is in the right place. That is, is he ready to do what is BEST for the milllions of Americans who are sad, angry & suffering.... in ALL the many, many ways humans hurt. He won the vote of many disillusioned people who believed his words that he would shake up the D.C. ESTABLISHMENT... the lifelong snakes who've made their living off the poor not only in the USA but all over the world! So far his actions have worried me and thousands very deeply... I will miss the Obamas so much it hurts; even though our President only accomplished a fraction of what he wanted to (what can a President do when the Legislature refuses to work with him? Not a whole lot!! HOWEVER, it's miraculous (given the constant opposition he faced ) to realize ALL the GOOD President Obama DID get accomplished! Even with the partisan fighting that has ruined the hearts of many a Legislator for years & years who began with heads filled with dreams of the good they would do for the people... until they were disabused of their dreams . I apologize, I hope I didn't bring you down... I just love this Nation and ALL IT'S PEOPLE and I am very worried... I feel like we're moving backwards and that's not good, not with all we've suffered through! No need to repeat those times. When a woman with the grace of Miss Marian Anderson was snubbed by petty fools, thank God she found the strength to sing at the Lincoln Memorial. I understand she was by nature very gentle with manners befitting the amazing woman that she was (I am sure she shied away from "rocking the boat" ) I thank God she found the bravery to answer the petty foolishness in such a majestic way! Dear God Please Bless and Watch Over Us All! ❤&✌🏻
black and poor in segregated america, and yet through sheer determination she became one of america biggest classical singers of the 20th century. she is a true and i mean true inspiration to us all. she remained polite unassuming and humble although being a huge star and will be remembered for many years to come. thank you miss anderson.
Her voice is so melancholic but also soothing. It brought me to tears when I heard it the first time. It still makes me tear up at times. Her voice is like a comforting hug given to a person who is going through the sad moments of life. Reminds of how I felt listening to Ryan Murphy's "A lullaby"
I went to Marian Anderson Jr. High in Tulsa and so did Alfre Woodard. I just learned this song on piano and found this video. Two of my teachers there survived the Tulsa Race Massacre and told us about it. It was never called Black Wall Street until after the Massacre when it became even more successful.
We were privileged to attend concerts of both these unbelievably brilliantly talented singers in Jamaica. What an awesome privilege. !! In fact my sister Yvonne Rebhan was selected to give Mr Paul Robeson a gift at the end of the recital.
@markrymanowski719 I just learnt a few months back that these spirituals were used like morse code/or text message, code as warnings while people tried to escape or other things. They knew they could use the religion forced on them to outsmart their slave masters. Amazing strength...it truly was survival.
We are celebrating Marian Anderson and her legacy as this year's WITNESS school program/concert theme at VocalEssence of Minneapolis, MN. We are very excited to be celebrating such an wonderful woman. Mackenziew, you said it best :-)
Tonight she was a Final Jeopardy answer. So I had to look up and see who this woman was. I was led to here, and started to listen to her singing. I got waves of goosebumps...omg.
Marian Anderson was more revered in Europe than in America. She was the first person of color to sing at the Metropolitan Opera House. She is an amazing woman who made great strides in the advancement of minorities in America.
Of "Deep River", Roland Hayes writes: "At the source of this tune ring the words from Joshua: ''When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan." It is primitive in its wonder; yes, ecstasy before the incredible. "As God was with Moses, so shall I be with him at the time of my delivery." In the embrace of death lies fulfillment. As celebrated as the theme of Beethoven's Fifth, the musical phrase, "Deep River, my home is over Jordan," lies deeply rooted in the consciousness of mankind. It has a suggestive quality of inescapable power. Three times the last phrase, "I want to cross over into Jordan," is repeated. That repetition, a sort of incantation, is not unlike the litanies of the Catholic Church. Repetitions are phenomena of imaginative, poetic intoxication that, choosing word sounds irrespective of meaning, identifies the person with the mood."
It expresses longing like the George Herbert poem The Glance. (Herbert's poetry was based on the psalms). Final stanza: If thy first glance so powerfull be, A mirth but open'd, and seal'd up again; What wonders shall we feel, when we shall see Thy full-ey'd love! When thou shalt look us out of pain, And one aspect of thine spend in delight More then a thousand sunnes disburse in light, In heav'n above. It's a powerful poem, even for someone like me who has no religious beliefs. Likewise with Deep River.
Deep River, My home is over Jordan. Deep River, Lord. I want to cross over into campground. Deep River. my home is over Jordan. Deep River, Lord, I want to cross over into campground. Oh, don't you want to go, To the Gospel feast; That Promised Land, Where all is peace? Oh, deep River, Lord, I want to cross over into campground.
I am very greatful that in turning TV channels, here they spoke of this awesome Women. Her voice made me weep, I have such Respect for what she achieved as a Black Women!!!
PBS What a absolutely amazing documentary of this beautiful black woman is for the world yo see!!!!!! Why wasn't black kids taught about her. Well I can say that in 1973 or 1974 we were made to read and prove that we read every book by Gordon Parks, was the best thing that I got out of High School. God truly blessed Marian Anderson with a Voice of the Angels!!!!!@@@
After losing her father to a horrible accident at work and a year later her grandfather her heart was so broken. Yet she clung to these spirituals that signified her closeness to Jesus!
What a voice! Beautiful and somewhat sad! Paul Robeson's interpretation of this song is not so sad. Nina Simone, too, the pop/jazz pianist and singer, wanted to go to the Curtis School in Philadelphia for classical piano but could not because she was 'black'. Yet she became the "High Priestess of Soul" and world renowned. Unfortunately, today's retribution of reverse racism against 'whites' is not the solution. The content of character, as Martin Luther King Jr stated, is the only way.
Sentí que con escuchar su voz, se me quitó el estres, tengo 15 años y me hace pensar en las cosas de antes. Trae tanta paz su voz y yo solo vine a escuchar su tono de voz grave por algo. Me encanto
yes, but I would like to turn that around: Eleanor Roosevelt once lent a hand to “no less than” Marian Anderson. In common cause, against racism. She also had a close working relationship with Mary McLeod Bethune. These ties reflect well on Roosevelt; Bethune and Anderson were women of huge accomplishment with or without ER
1,000 recording to hear before you die brought me here. I had mot heard of her before this and now so glad I have absolutely beautiful and from the heart
I have the original single of her singing that and it is wonderful by comparison to the sound on here it goes deep into the heart and soul. She gives so much wonderful and heart felt performance.
Woke up from sleep this morning with this song going through my mind. The spiritual metaphor came clear to me and I wanted to hear it sung. I didn't expect this soul wrenching performance, Ms Anderson I had only basically heard of before. Thanks for the upload.
Pense en mi mamá en mis perritos, este tipo de canciones refleja la soledad y la tristeza, no aguanto mas pensando en esto, yo odio llorar por que odio las preguntas que me hacen los demas, no soy de esos que les gusta llamar la atencion, yo odio ver llorar a otros y hasta a mi mismo, cuando llora mi mamá no se que hacer, y mis perritos cuando estan asustados siempre les doy cariñitos, estos problemas que tengo y no puedo decirlo cada vez me derrumban, solo deseo que mi mamá este feliz y mis mascotas no quiero verlos sufrir nunca

Yes yes yes.0
She was likely a born male
@@RepublicTeaRoom Grow the hell up you stupid hag.
I adore her.
Paul Robeson,too.
Deeply moving, angels on this earth
@Larry Mitchell. I couldn't improve upon the way in which you've worded your sentiment, with which I entirely agree.
She's not just singing, she's having a spiritual experience.
You can feel her spirit as she sings..it more or less goes right thru your body..and this 75 years after the recording, on tinny computer speakers..amazing..can you imagine what it must have felt like to hear her singing in the same room with her? Would reduce you to tears..
Lo has definido perfectamente
I feel the same
I CAN! for those you had the honor and pleasure of listening to her...whichever means, face-to-face must have been extraordinary, but I used to listen to her as a child from an LP VINYL RECORD (yes, I'm that old ;)) that my daddy had bought back in the 70's. I was very young but I shivered when I first listened to her...and still do.

Dear friend, I am so sensibel, I am crying, when I hier god, beautiful music and that was it. GREETING's Eira.
Mi abuela la había escuchado cuando ella canto en el teatro Solis de Montevideo, y cada vez que en mi niñez se oía por la radio , ella me decia: "presta atención, esta cantante es maravillosa". y si que lo fue, adoro su timbre de contralto.
Beatriz Oggero Que bonita anécdota
Creo que estuvo dos veces en Montevideo
tu abuela es muy inteligente cantantes como esta pasan a la historia
Gracias por compartir esta linda anécdota.
Ela é incrível mesmo. E sinto que sua avó também era...

Three minutes of a glimpse of heaven.

Wow that's amazing!! What year was this? I live in Cali, Colombia now!
I live nearby Cali, but I'm too young, I didn't know she had been here

WHAT at you doing on this post, Troll? You're probably a member of the kKK.
You got it brother
I saw her at a recital at Pacific Union College in the 1950s. Spectacular voice.
Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson. Great singers and great Americans unjustly treated in their day.
Their music, their example, and their legacy live on.
Thank you Marian Anderson for sharing God’s gift with us!
What a gifted God-given voice! It is too bad it took so long for her to be recognized!
I am amazed at the quality of this recording. I've never heard one this clean! awesome. Really lets her voice shine. Thank you.
Love this song and the vocalist gives me chills ❤🙏
Had elderly aunt who died in 1970s who loved listening to Marian Anderson. Have just become interested in who she was and am delighted to hear her on CZcams. What a lovely voice. Marie T.

that’s a far star, young one..but if anyone can reach it, you can;
this old father is surely proud of you just for the wanting to;
Tatiana, that's wonderful that you are inspired by this magnificent woman! Keep reaching for the stars and don't let ANYONE tell you it's not achievable. I don't know you, but I'm proud of you!
her voice is amazing, but her enunciation in this song, blown away. She finishes every word.
Well now that you're 15 or so, how's it going?
Brings tears
Me too!
May her soul rest in peace
That was truly spiritual 💗

How lucky you are to have even met her. Her accompanist was a German American. Imagine!!!
Wish I could go to the museum. But seeing her beautiful face here and listening to her beautifully gifted voice shall have to suffice. Godspeed.
Thank you for this beautiful ever living music with fantastic Miss Anderson. Very nice quality. god Bless
Words cannot do justice to the deep emotion evoked by her rendition of this spiritual.
her sound comes direct out of her heart
Her voice gives off an almost sad tone; her voice is a haunting beauty, with a hint of tragedy.
The Beauty of The Voice. The Beauty of Her Soul. The Beauty of Her Strength.
She has a beautiful contralto voice
black and poor in segregated america, and yet through sheer determination she became one of america biggest classical singers of the 20th century. she is a true and i mean true inspiration to us all. she remained polite unassuming and humble although being a huge star and will be remembered for many years to come. thank you miss anderson.

I love her voice it is very incredible.She has the gift that God gave her/She has the gift.I cried when I hewsrd her sing the first time.
Screw you, god has nothing to do with her voice. Silly person.
So precious and the true meanings of these songs..the pain that these people survived through..the strength and determination it took..
Your comment is deep like the song.

Sem palavras... Miss Marian Anderson simplesmente maravilhosa.
One can tell: She felt the music. Her rendition of "Ave Maria" is my favorite.
Absolutely beautiful. My god.
Tonight she was a Final Jeopardy answer. So I had to look up and see who this woman was. I was led to here, and started to listen to her singing. I got waves of goosebumps...omg.

What a absolutely amazing documentary of this beautiful black woman is for the world yo see!!!!!!
Why wasn't black kids taught about her.
Well I can say that in 1973 or 1974 we were made to read and prove that we read every book by Gordon Parks, was the best thing that I got out of High School.
God truly blessed Marian Anderson with a Voice of the Angels!!!!!@@@
So beautiful! Words cannot describe! Amazing recording quality, too. Thanks for posting!
The only person who brings me to tears. Greatness!
After losing her father to a horrible accident at work and a year later her grandfather her heart was so broken. Yet she clung to these spirituals that signified her closeness to Jesus!
she has such a powerful voice!
Yes
What a voice! Beautiful and somewhat sad! Paul Robeson's interpretation of this song is not so sad. Nina Simone, too, the pop/jazz pianist and singer, wanted to go to the Curtis School in Philadelphia for classical piano but could not because she was 'black'. Yet she became the "High Priestess of Soul" and world renowned. Unfortunately, today's retribution of reverse racism against 'whites' is not the solution. The content of character, as Martin Luther King Jr stated, is the only way.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Sung in a plaintive, minor key, and sung at a thoughtful pace, this rendition of "Deep River" is much more than a romantic ballad.

The greatest singer in the era of recorded music.
Truly amazing.
Beautiful voice
Sentí que con escuchar su voz, se me quitó el estres, tengo 15 años y me hace pensar en las cosas de antes. Trae tanta paz su voz y yo solo vine a escuchar su tono de voz grave por algo. Me encanto
Yo tambien me siento asi,y soy una vieja "bruja", soy tan sencibel, quando hoygo buena musica, me pongo a llorar.
Best version for me.
i wholeheartedly agree
Love this version, so much feeling and evokes so many emotions.
+Katherine Carter No less than Eleanor Roosevelt stood up for Marian Anderson.
yes, but I would like to turn that around: Eleanor Roosevelt once lent a hand to “no less than” Marian Anderson. In common cause, against racism.

초등학교 때 좋아했는데 40년이 넘어서 처음 들어 보네요. 참 좋아요. 덕분에 ...
감사해요.
Pense en mi mamá en mis perritos, este tipo de canciones refleja la soledad y la tristeza, no aguanto mas pensando en esto, yo odio llorar por que odio las preguntas que me hacen los demas, no soy de esos que les gusta llamar la atencion, yo odio ver llorar a otros y hasta a mi mismo, cuando llora mi mamá no se que hacer, y mis perritos cuando estan asustados siempre les doy cariñitos, estos problemas que tengo y no puedo decirlo cada vez me derrumban, solo deseo que mi mamá este feliz y mis mascotas no quiero verlos sufrir nunca
Making me cry especially today.
