一个世纪之声——玛丽安·安德森的生平与艺术
英文 | 2026 | ISBN: 9780593652688 | 259页 | EPUB | 42 MB
玛丽安·安德森在林肯纪念堂举行历史性音乐会的前一天晚上，她非常怀疑地打电话给她的经理。她担心，原本计划在华盛顿最大的音乐厅举行独奏会的计划，在被禁止出现在该场所的白人舞台上后，变成了抗议集会。第二天，一群75,000蜂拥而至，观看她在1939复活节星期天在自由纪念碑前的表演。这是一场种族正义的重大胜利，但安德森担心，它会掩盖其独一无二的职业生涯中其他方面的成就。
在这幅丰富的新肖像中，安东尼·托马西尼 (Anthony Tommasini) 将他数十年的音乐专业知识带到安德森的艺术性，她的人生旅程以及关于她的遗产的对话中。在欧洲取得突破性的早期表演之后，她以精湛的汉德尔·阿里亚斯，德国lieder，斯堪的纳维亚歌曲和Negro spirituals的演绎吸引了国际观众: 她的时间大胆编程。然而，在国内获得认可却更加困难。尽管安德森以其丰富，有光泽的嗓音和富有洞察力的艺术性而闻名，但她不得不与旅馆和餐馆抗衡，这些旅馆和餐馆使她在音乐会上大受赞誉。这些磨难带来了令人难忘的善意表现-埃莉诺·罗斯福为纪念她而与美国革命的女儿作战; 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦将她安置在普林斯顿-但代表了安德森面临的激烈种族主义。尽管如此，她还是成为当时最受尊敬和最成功的艺术家之一，并以打破大都会歌剧院1955年歌手的肤色障碍而闻名。
正如阿图罗·托斯卡尼尼在参加安德森的一场演出后所说的那样: “我今天听到的是一百年才有幸听到一次。” 现在，我们在安德森庄严的领导力、真实性和雄伟的存在的背景下再次体验到这一点。

Voice of a Century The Life and Artistry of Marian Anderson
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9780593652688 | 259 pages | EPUB | 42 MB
The night before Marian Anderson performed her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial, she called her manager with grave doubts. What had started as a plan to sing a recital in Washington’s largest concert hall had turned, she feared, into a protest rally after she was barred from appearing on the venue’s whites-only stage. The next day a crowd of seventy-five thousand flocked there to see her perform on Easter Sunday, 1939, before the monument of freedom itself. This was a major triumph for racial justice, but Anderson worried it would overshadow the rest of her inimitable career.
In this rich new portrait, Anthony Tommasini brings his decades of musical expertise to bear upon Anderson’s artistry, the journey of her life, and conversations about her legacy. After her breakout early performances in Europe, she gripped international audiences with her masterful renditions of Handel arias, German lieder, Scandinavian songs, and Negro spirituals: bold programming for her time. But recognition was harder to achieve at home. Though celebrated for her rich, lustrous voice and insightful artistry, Anderson had to contend with hotels and restaurants that turned her away in the very cities where she appeared in concert to acclaim. These tribulations brought forth memorable shows of goodwill—Eleanor Roosevelt fought the Daughters of the American Revolution in her honor; Albert Einstein housed her in Princeton—but were representative of the fierce racism Anderson faced. Still, she became one of the most respected and successful artists of her time and famously broke the color barrier for singers at the Metropolitan Opera in 1955.
As Arturo Toscanini famously said after attending one of Anderson’s performances: “What I heard today one is privileged to hear only once in a hundred years.” Now, we get to experience this again, in the context of Anderson’s dignified leadership, authenticity, and majestic presence.
