Recensione

The tale of Philadelphia-born Andersons long struggle against colour prejudice tends to obscure how accomplished she was. Like many US singers she made much of her early reputation in Europe and although she did not appear in opera until it was almost too late, she was a great concert singer, one of those who raised Spirituals into the realms of art song. In a song such as Schubert s D545 (recorded 1947) she was peerless. –Gramophone
