[78-L] Marian Anderson - Artiphon/ Phonycord / Belvox / Davis / Masterpiece

[David Lennick]

Also, Belvox was an Oberstein label. It might mean that the 3 discs were sold 
as a set. And I had only Phonycord P112 (didn't know about P94).

Here's what was the most up-to-date info on these sides when I did a Marian 
Anderson CD 9 years ago (I didn't list any of the other labels, just first issues).

1.  Heav'n Heav'n (Traditional, arr. H. T. Burleigh)
     with William King, piano
     Artiphon D 11749, mx 11749; c. October 1930, Berlin (2:52)
2.  Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless  Child (Traditional, arr. Lawrence
Brown)
     with William King, piano
     Artiphon D 11750, mx 11750; c. October 1930, Berlin (3:35)
3.  L'Enfant Prodigue: Air de Lia: Pourquoi M'as-tu Quittée? (Debussy-Guimand)
     with orchestra; in French
     Artiphon D 11767, mx 11767; c. November 1930, Berlin (3:49)
4.  Jeanne d'Arc: Adieu Forêts (Tchaikovsky)
     with orchestra; in French
     Artiphon D 11768, mx 11768; c. November 1930, Berlin (3:41)
5.  Samson et Dalila: Amour Viens Aider (O Love From Thy Powers) (Saint-Saens)
     with orchestra
     Artiphon D 11771, mx 11771; c. November 1930, Berlin (3:33)
6.  La Favorita: O Mio Fernando (Donizetti)
     with orchestra; in Italian
     Artiphon D 11769/70, mx 11769/70; c. November 1930, Berlin (6:12)
