Thank you so much for posting this. I saw the concert 23 years ago and never forgot it. In case people don't recognize her, the lady in the balcony who is shown at the end of "In That Great Gettin' Up Mornin'" and "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands" is the great contralto, Marian Anderson.
@@e.conboy4286 she'd been specifically asked if she could be there and she was able to, even if in a wheelchair. she met with them backstage afterwards. quite an occasion. www.pinterest.com/pin/66780006947909553/
💐🌻🌷💐🌹I TELL YA'LL I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THIS ON PBS CHANNEL 13, ME AND MY MOTHER🥀WHEN SHE WAS ALIVE, WE ENJOYED THIS SINGING BY JESSYE NORMAN🎤AND KATHLEEN BATTLE 🎤AND THE CHOIR AND THE BAND🔊🎻🎹🥁🎺🎷📯🎻🎸🎼🎵🎶 LEAD BY MR. LEVINE💐🌷💐
I remember watching this on TV, back in 1990, and I recorded it back then. But it was videotape and, well you can imagine! I was so sad! Thanks so much for posting this now, allowing me to get it back!
I remember a working day, when I went into a cd-shop after it (or during lunch, don't remember) years ago and they played this and I bought the whole cd +g+.
7forheaven: Very wise of you! These folks are sing with the goddesses of gospel! Wish they could have let it all out! Fare thee well, Jessye. Thank you.
Também, quando soube da existencia dessa obra e assisti fiquei deslumbrado. Glórias a Deus por Sua obra. Performance para mim perfeita de todos! Muito obrigado por essa postagem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! muito muito mesmo. Há tempos procurava!!!
When I see a program such as this, American artists singing America's music, I think "This music is genuine alchemy." Spirituals were the artistic transmutation of the suffering directed at enslaved people by the ignorance of those who should have acted with greater humanity. From darkness emerged this light. A lesson for our own troubled time. It seems like we are more ignorant than ever, in the way we treat others, in the way we dishonor the promise of this once great country. How did we get so far from the things that define us in the best way?
Thank you so much for posting this concert - absolutely precious footage!! I've been trying to seek this out since seeing it on TV as a kid and it's as mesmerizing now as it was then. Sublime!
You don't know what this clip meant to me. When in high school, I listened to the whole performance on the radio for just this one time, but the song has been stuck in my head ever since, and I tried so many times to find out who sang the songs and was in vain. Thank you for uploading these wonderful clips. I am literally so happy I could die.:))
Boy ...do I ever miss The Great Jessye Norman....God Bless our Jessye Norman
An extraordinary concert
In that great gettin' up morning, fare thee well, Jessye Norman, fare thee well!
One of the greatest concerts ever heard!
Outstanding ladies!!!! And that choir!!!

Jessye and Kathleen are amazing! Two of my favorite singers
Marian Anderson in the audience. Too perfect!
REALLY?

So beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. Glad I was watching this in the privacy of my home rather than in that vast audience.
James Levine dancing is the best part, oh and the marvelous singing.
So many hopes and dreams of the masses of the ages
