N. H. Jessie sounds more like a controlto. She makes one sensational noise when she moves her lips!

@@dalredmond5879 she was definitely a dramatic soprano

Simply exquisite indeed!

@@dalredmond5879 She is NOT

@@landoblu My Darling Of this I am well aware. Listen to her lower register Price also had a spectacular range.

A TRUE Force indeed!

George Banks How do you feel about Miss Leontyne Price?????

Dal Redmond The BEST of all!

None better, except Ms. Marion Anderson.

Nothing could truer...perfect foils for one another!

@@dalredmond5879 Love her voice..

+dralin williams that's really nice :)

Beautifully said.

She sure does lovely comment Jessey is just pure Power Love them Both

@@musicandme1982 Pure power. Jesse is my favorite next to Ms. Marian Anderson.

MrStyle23 A glass of Cabernet in front of a roaring fire in Winnipeg in January!!

MrStyle23 oh my my beautiful analogy!

These finest voices are turning us into poets. Truly inspiring.

thats because she's a light-lyric soprano (or soprano-leggero) and not a full lyric like Renee Fleming nor a dramatic soprano like Jessye Norman. Other light-lyric sopranos include Gundula Janowitz, Barbara Bonney, etc. Each voice type has a suitable role in opera.

@@ajaymanoharan5496 Jessye is not a real dramatic. She's a lyrical singer singing dramatic rep.

Jeeeeeeez indeed!

Just beautiful indeed!

Preach it!! :)

Exactly how I feel. What a treasure and what a loss for the world.

Someday!

Alistair Jones She was also the first African American to sing inside a place refused her in 1939, Constitution Hall, on March 14, 1953, as part of an American University concert series, and sang there for pay for the first time to an integrated audience.

OMG, that is so moving...I love these great women trail-blazers :)

If you listen to the whole concert -kathleen dedicates a song to the “Great Ms Marian Anderson”

yes @3:22

*Marian

Thank you for pointing this out!! "My Lord, what a morning!" Those three in one hall.

Marian Anderson really wasn't an opera singer. She was a recitalist who included operatic arias in her repertoire, but due to racism didn't take the opera stage until she was nearly 60 years of age and past her vocal prime.

@@direfranchement Ok technically Marian wasn't classified as an OPERA SINGER..but she did perform operatic tunes..who are you ..you are picking at in important facts..she was a civil rights activist and was denied the right to sing inside the White House by the RACISTS DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION..FLOTUS Eleanor Roosevelt had everything needed for Miss Anderson to sing outside..AND GRAND LADY ELEANOR turned down her membership with the American Daughters of the Revolution..Everything AINT in the history book..something's certain folks want kept unknowledgable..I learned alot of history from the people who lived it..My GRANDPARENTS❤❤❤

@@madghee Marian Anderson was denied the right to sing at Constitution Hall by the DAR, not The White House, hence leading to Eleanor Roosevelt resigning as a member and the then Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes inviting Anderson to sing at The Lincoln Memorial. Also---while Marian Anderson was indeed black and broke barriers through her work which was as a recitalist, it would not be accurate to label her a "civil rights activist", certainly not in 1939, and certainly not in the same vein as a Paul Robeson (who was her contemporary) or Mary McLeod Bethune. At that time, most of her career had been spent in Europe since again, racism limited the space allotted for her as a black classical singer in the U.S. Facts are not your enemy. Embrace them.

madghee

Bravas...las dos...!!!

Mejor no podías haberlo dicho. !!! Bravissimo!!!

Irreplaceable indeed!

Tenortalker doubt Roland was the first. There were others before - just didnt get the press.

Very unique. A TRUE trailblazer indeed!
