Rising effortlessly from child prodigy status to an established star on the world stage, Marian Anderson's glittering career as a contralto singer is documented in A PORTRAIT IN MUSIC. Drawing primarily on material filmed at the Festival of Music in 1956, this is a wonderful way to discover her incredible range. Further footage comes in the shape of a recital at the Ford 50th Anniversary show, alongside a fascinating documentary on her life.
