Update to the MARSTEN set:
"Being fortunate to have an abundance of outstanding material to choose from, however, we decided to further increase the Anderson set to SIX-CDs, with a new RELEASE DATE set for next SPRING.

Gathered together for the first time are all of Marian Anderson’s European recordings made by the Gramophone Company, Artiphon, and the Soviet Gramplastrest, most of which have never before been available on any compact disc reissues. The set also includes Anderson’s appearances on the Magic Key radio program, 1936-1938, and selected arias, songs, and spirituals taken from her appearances on the Telephone Hour between 1942 and 1953. Special attention has been made to include broadcast repertoire that Marian Anderson did not record commercially. The last CD of the set concludes with two Bach arias performed in 1951 during a live concert in New York’s Town Hall, as well as recently discovered selections from concerts in Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Numerous photos round out the set, along with liner notes by Jeffery McMillan, author and public relations director at San Francisco Opera, and Mark Burford, R. P. Wollenberg professor of music at Reed College, author of Mahalia Jackson and the Black Gospel Field, and editor of The Mahalia Jackson Reader."
