Rising effortlessly from child prodigy status to an established star on the world stage, Marian Anderson's glittering career as a contralto singer is documented in A PORTRAIT IN MUSIC. Drawing primarily on material filmed at the Festival of Music in 1956, this is a wonderful way to discover her incredible range. Further footage comes in the shape of a recital at the Ford 50th Anniversary show, alongside a fascinating documentary on her life. Later years saw Marian progress from a career in music to carrying out charitable work for the United Nations, and with sick children, right up until her death in 1993 at the age of 91. Having lived an awe-inspiring life, this release forms a fitting epitaph to the legendary singer.
