This is the Marian Anderson voice in its absolute prime. It's so beautiful that it's almost painful. Her legato line is perfection and her tone is flawless. This is THE best version in existence by a female singer without question.
@@rachealbrimberry8918 It's an error. The only "Ave Maria" Maria Callas ever recorded was the one by Giuseppe Verdi from his opera "Otello". UA-cam made the error.
I saw her perform live when she visited St Vincent & the Grenadines in the 1950s, and felt like I was in heaven. Her rendition of spirituals was true perfection.
This is good no doubt, but a truly touching rendition of Ava Maria, for my money, can be found on UA-cam by Nell Carter, singing, and a hearing impaired lady on an episode of her comedy, "Give Me A Break". Encourage you to look it up. It is truly touching as the young lady signs as Nell sings. It is very emotional. Shalom Y'all! from Kentucky.
Her voice is amazing...it must have been so blessed with complete harmonics that it projects and survives so we'll through and despite the old recording technology of her era.
Every time I hear her sing, and especially this song, it touches my heart. Respect for this lady who had a rough time getting chances to sing in public. Fortunately she was supported by many influential people such as Roosevelt so the "haters" couldn't just overlook her! She deserved every chance she got and she worked so very hard. respect
Étant d'une génération aujourd'hui perdu dans le brouillard de la dépravation, je suis fortement revigoré à l'écoute d'un tel chef d'oeuvre, d'une oeuvre divine.
Thank you very, very much for sharing. A truly emotional experience to see this film clip. I was fortunate to hear this great person in 1961 at the Casals Festival in Puerto Rico! I might know just a little about how difficult and cruel it must have been for her in an all "white" career, as I experienced discrimination myself living in NY and being of mixed ethnic origin. Regardless, NY greatly influenced my musical life, in spite of the pain and loneliness. some of the great Black artists I heard; Leontyne Price in her met debut, James Earl Jones as Othello, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davies and more. Thanks again from Down Under.
When she sang for segregated audiences in various Halls, she would bow first to the White guests, briefly, then bow for a long, long and heartfelt moment. She was a very humble and expressed such love for her people. I've seen a couple of documentaries on this woman. Just recently, actually. I recommend that you try to find one to view. I promise you, you will experience every emotion possible and end up with a mad respect for this lady, the likes of which you have never known. God bless her and her courage, contribution to progress and inspiration, as well as her example of humility and Grace.
BRAVO!!!!!!! Absolutely Beautiful!!!!!!! Ms. Marian Anderson's voice is Priceless, and that of an Extraordinary Angel's voice!!!!!!! Purely Divine and Amazing! Ms. Anderson is the best Operatic Contralto singer that ever lived!!!!!!! Thanks a zillion awesome1990s for sharing this Priceless, Irreplaceable gem of a video!!!!!!!
My mama and daddy used to take me to movies tomorrow Alonso I saw her once in a clip when I was a little girl and admired her so and felt such emotional pain and I just fell in love with her and every time I can get my hands on a video I do and I just listen to her over and over and over a woman with an angel's voice and the only control toe in my opinion that is worth mentioning and really a classy lady to say in the end of her song God bless you I love her so much God bless her and her beautiful memory 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻💯
Sorry not tomorrow when I was a little girl I wish they would make a movie out with her but there could be another Marion Anderson sorry about the typo
Schubert's masterpiece was originally written for the epic poem "Lady of the Lake." Catholics re-wrote the lyrics and took it for their own. This magnificent version by Ms Anderson is, happily, using the original lyrics--and in English! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ave_Maria_(Schubert)#Lyrics
Who ever put I thumbs down your wrong Marian Anderson was the first African-American opera singer if it wasn't for her black kids wouldn't be able to sing and she has more talent than YOU did you stand up for your rights no so get your hating butt a LIFE OK HONEY!
Lyashia J I'm still so ashamed,She couldn't go to any service or provision of same in Washington D,C,-Baltimore was is just over the Patomac [sp,]I grew up on her songs.She was the very Soul of Song!
Look, thats just how things were. Not excusing, justifying, not agreeing. But you didnt do it, so you have nothing to be ashamed about. Nor did your family do it. I didnt do it and I certainly feel NOT ashamed. Just sayin'
This is the only one I have ever waiting for. Thanks God He give me this opportunity to heard it. I knew there were a unic interpretation. This is the only one best ever. What a beutiful woman and beutiful soul. And God bless you all.
The conductor was looking @ her for the timing, but I am sure he was very pleased with her proficiency. Who was the conductor? He has the most expressive hands.Jeanne
Ave Maria! maiden mild, Listen to a maiden's prayer; Thou canst hear though from the wild, Thou canst save amid despair. Safe may we sleep beneath thy care, Though banished, outcast, and reviled - Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer; Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria! Ave Maria! undefiled! The flinty couch we now must share, Shall seem with down of eider piled, If thy protection hover there. The murky cavern's heavy air Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled; Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer, Mother, list a suppliant child! Ave Maria! -F. Hensel
Very beautiful indeed - but not Italian. The words are originally English, by the Scottish author Sir Walter Scott, but then the Austrian composer Franz Schubert set it to music using a German translation; but here, Schubert’s musical setting is being sung with English lyrics (I’m guessing, the original lyrics).
You're probably just too young to have heard of her. A scandal erupted in 1939, when she was not allowed to perform in Constitution Hall because the Daughters of the American Revolution did not allow a Black opera singer in the hall. It caused a national ruckus. The then First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, invited her to perform on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. It was attended by nearly 100,000 people. She was also - eventually - the first Black singer to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. But that only happened 16 years later. She stopped performing in the mid 1960s. I'm assuming you were born after that or were very young at that point in time.
I just heard about this lady, so, decided to listen to her voice. Wow, it's so perfect you'd think it was altered, but that wasn't any way possible back then. Gifted.
I dont know her but after listening to this she is indeed gifted.You know what when you have feelings for somebody you dont care about your age.Thats me.I think my somebody knows my age.However it make me think that i might be a hindrance to his success and i dont want his reputation to be tarnished before he becomes famous .you know what it's up to him what he really wants and what's in his heart and what makes him happiest.I will be waiting because I do not want anybody else but him.

I'm glad she has the courage to become a singer and and someone is kind enough to let her perform on a stage, without her we will never have will Smith,nicki minaj,rihanna,Steve wonder
A treat to see and listen to. Read Pam Munoz Ryan's wonderful picture book: When Marian Sang. I could never read it aloud without choking up, and my wonderful library assistant with the fabulous voice, would sing when we came to the songs...
Linnea Hendrickson How much she must have learned, known, about life and people. I can listen to this over and over, which is a unique characteristic for any recording even of this caliber. "One voice like yours in a hundred years..." paraphrasing Toscanini's words to Marian Anderson when he first met her.
This is magnificent absolutely mind blowing it brings me up when i'm really really down thank you so much for putting this on for everyone to listen to feel
Not sure if this is the same recording first I heard on a CD set collection of some of the greatest singers of the 20th century, but it is close. I was so absolutely blown away by her rendition, enamoured of her that she instantly became my favourite classical sanger. I close my eyes and hear the angel sing, so perfectly was this song performed.
This is the Marian Anderson voice in its absolute prime. It's so beautiful that it's almost painful. Her legato line is perfection and her tone is flawless. This is THE best version in existence by a female singer without question.
I so agree. Perfection personified!!
This is an epic version of the Ave Maria, but what about Maria Callas?

Maravillosa versión del Ave Maria.Busqué a esta dama por la lectura de las memorias de A.Rubinstein.El pianista tenía razón.
Me too
I saw her perform live when she visited St Vincent & the Grenadines in the 1950s, and felt like I was in heaven. Her rendition of spirituals was true perfection.
How cool is that !
That is so amazing ❤️

After listening to several "Ave Maria" by singers, both male and female, this one the Marian Anderson version is the best. Absolutely superlative.
This is good no doubt, but a truly touching rendition of Ava Maria, for my money, can be found on UA-cam by Nell Carter, singing, and a hearing impaired lady on an episode of her comedy, "Give Me A Break". Encourage you to look it up. It is truly touching as the young lady signs as Nell sings. It is very emotional. Shalom Y'all! from Kentucky.
Jessye Norman is ONE of the best to me.
This feels like heaven. I only saw her once when I was too young and ignorant to understand. Please never take this down.
Marian Anderson - a National treasure.
The voice of an angel!
And God sent down an Angel and her name was Marian Anderson
❤❤❤
Now I know how an angel sounds!! Beautiful beyond words.

magnificent. This was in London for a Chistmas show during Battle of the Bulge
What a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. God-given Beauty inside and out this is real singing not like today
What an amazing voice. Words can not describe how much of an amazing person she was.
What a talent this woman was truly a beautiful voice, and from philly so she has to be great, from one philadelpian to another Bravo!!!!!

This is the only one I have ever waiting for. Thanks God He give me this opportunity to heard it. I knew there were a unic interpretation. This is the only one best ever. What a beutiful woman and beutiful soul. And God bless you all.
The great Sibelius said to her "The roof of my home is too low for your voice".
she was the best singer I evered heard sing before
One word...BEAUTIFUL!
God bless this great lady. Never sung better magnificent she was
This is what heaven must sound like. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Ava Maria sung by the voice of the Century. This name given to her by the great toscanini. Beautiful.
Even the conductor could not keep his eyes off of such greatness! Talent!
I know what you mean but he was looking at her for his timing of the instrumentation with her voice
The conductor was looking @ her for the timing, but I am sure he was very pleased with her proficiency. Who was the conductor? He has the most expressive hands.Jeanne
Wish some company remastered her performances and released them on dvd =\
Lovely, beautiful, enchanting.
BEAUTIFUL!
More than MAGNIFICENT.
Ave Maria! maiden mild,
Listen to a maiden's prayer;
Thou canst hear though from the wild,
Thou canst save amid despair.
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care,
Though banished, outcast, and reviled -
Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer;
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!
Ave Maria! undefiled!
The flinty couch we now must share,
Shall seem with down of eider piled,
If thy protection hover there.
The murky cavern's heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled;
Then, Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer,
Mother, list a suppliant child!
Ave Maria!

I'm doing an essay on Marian Anderson and I'm very glad that I decided to do so. She had such a pretty voice! I love the video:)
She is so beautiful and she has a great voice and if it wasn't for her people like Beyoncé wouldn't be singing
Malika Turner Oh yes, Beyonce will - in the shower.
Malika Turner I think there is no comparison. In those days you had to get it right for the recording
Malika Turner Beyonce performs...she is no vocalist.
Mimi and Kay Nation yes.must pay homage
@@RepublicTeaRoom An puppet show for Free Masons!! Demonic at that couldn't do it without The Devil!!

Simply divine...Best version I've heard of Ave Maria! Bravo...🙏🏿❤😘
Her speaking voice!!!
Out of oppression and suffering comes something so beautiful and eternal.
Why have i never heard of this lady before??? Her voice is angelic!! Better than any oprah singer i have ever heard.

Yes, the best Ave Maria ever!
Let this woman bring out the tears of happiness.
Deeply moved by this version of Ave Maria.
Inadvertently let out a tear
Touching song, history and voice. And the song is so befitting the person and her history.
Amazingly beautiful! I could listen to this over and over, in fact I have. Thank you!
