美國著名的黑人歌手瑪麗安·安德森(Marian Anderson),是其同世代中最優秀的女低音(contralto)。1897年2月27出生於費城,1993年4月8日逝世於波特蘭,享年96歲。2022年是她誕生125週年,為此Sony唱片公司特別企劃這套錄音全集。
她的演唱曲目廣泛包含民謠、藝術歌曲、聖歌與歌劇選曲。音樂評論家艾倫·布萊思(Alan Blyth)指:「她的聲音是一種豐富、充滿活力的內在美的女低音。」曾有許多歐洲重要歌劇團邀約演出,但她自認沒有接受過表演訓練,只願在演唱會或音樂會上演出。
活躍於1925年至1965年期間,獲得指揮大師托斯卡尼尼的讚譽:稱她是「百年難得一遇的歌聲」。儘管是美國和整個歐洲20 世紀初最著名的聲音之一,但仍不免遭受種族歧視。作為一名黑人女性,在巡迴演出期間,許多酒店仍拒絕她進入。大科學家愛因斯坦是曾經親自接待安德森的人之一。
1939年,她因為黑人身份,不被允許在美國憲法大廳演唱,結果引發國際社會關注。1955年,大都會歌劇院邀請她登台,成為第一個在此演出的黑人。而這也是她唯一一次的歌劇表演,演唱的角色是威爾第《化妝舞會》中的奧里卡(Ulrica)。
安德森曾擔任聯合國人權事務委員會的代表多年,並擔任美國國務院的「親善大使」。20世紀60年代參加多項民權運動,1963年獲得總統自由勳章,1977年獲得國會金質獎章,1978年獲得甘迺迪中心榮譽獎,1986年獲得國家藝術獎章,1991年獲得葛萊美終身成就獎。
這套專輯收錄了她為RCA Victor唱片錄製的所有專輯。錄音均以24 bit / 96 kHz技術處理,音源取自從早年的漆盤(lacquer disc)與類比母帶,集錄為15張CD。從最早於1923-24年為勝利留聲機公司所做的錄音,到1966年為RCA紅標所做的立體聲錄音,這些錄音首度完整呈現在一套專輯中。
最特別的是1964年「告別演唱會」修護版專輯的首度發行,增補了原本刪除的數首歌曲。以及1957年「亞洲訪問行程」紀錄片之訪談錄音。專輯中共有57首度以CD格式發行的錄音,以及43首第一次自原始母帶轉換而來的錄音。專輯不僅有其精彩的演唱紀錄,更包含解說冊中大量珍貴的照片與資料,是研究安德森傳奇一生最珍貴的典藏史料。
