Description
Intriguing documentary about black singers of classical musicset against the background of black emancipation in politics
and society in the US.
Think of today's top operatic voices, and black owners of them are as
likely to come into the list as white ones: Willard White, Jessye Norman
and Kathleen Battle to name only three. We know it wasn't always thus
- Paul Robeson's struggles to be recognised as a great singer, instead of
a black singer, went on for many decades.
But this programme reveals just how hard the journey to acceptance of
America's black singers has been. It opens with one of the greatest voices of
the 20th century: Marian Anderson and a clip of her magnifi cent performance
of Ave Maria. The film offers newsreel footage from her landmark 1939
concert at the Lincoln Memorial, which was held after the Daughters of the
American Revolution denied her access to their Constitution Hall venue.
But the black tradition of classical singing goes back even further: Before
Leontye Price, Jessye Norman and even before Marian Anderson, Sissieretta
Jones was arguably the greatest black performer of 19th century America and
certainly the first great black diva. Sissieretta Jones , the Black Patti, an
allusion to Italian-American primadonna Adelina Patti, performed before four American presidents, mesmerized critics and audiences alike
and was so successful that at one concert in New Jersey 1,000 visitors had to be turned away.
The film Aida's Brothers and Sisters intends to focus the viewer's gaze particularly on the black classic and also on the fascinating
mixed forms that have developed from the confrontation of white and black music in the last hundred years. The encounter with the
powerful personalities of the singers and their music will reveal the humour, the lust for life, and the spiritual depth of black culture,
and will perhaps add a dash of colour to a white fin de sicle culture that is in danger of contracting anaemia.
A fascinating documentary with historical and contemporary film and video records of performances by Leontyne Price, Simon Estes,
Grace Bumbry, Reri Grist and many others.
