Contenuto . Questo cofanetto deluxe di 16 CD contiene oltre alle registrazioni elettriche complete del tenore 1925-1942, quattro appendici: due dischi di trasmissioni radiofoniche esistenti realizzate tra il 1926 e il 1942 e due contenenti le prime registrazioni su cilindro e su disco realizzate tra il 1904 e il 1906. Le trasmissioni radio esistenti (1926-1942) contengono un duetto rimasto inedito con il soprano Lucrezia Bori ("Night Hymn at Sea"), ed altri con Maggie Teyte, Evelyn Laye, Eileen Joyce, ecc.; il "Panis angelicus" del 1933 da New York per l’apertura dell'Anno Santo; due ballate irlandesi dell'ottobre 1936 introdotte dallo stesso McCormack: "The Ould Turf Fire" e "The Star of County Down". Interessante anche lo scambio tra il tenore e Bing Crosby (Hollywood 1937). Gli ultimi due CD del set comprendono nuovi restauri di tutte le 57 prime registrazioni di McCormack, effettuate su cilindro e disco nel 1904, dopo la sua vittoria al concorso nazionale di canto di Dublino Feis Ceoil nel 1903. Questi affascinanti, seppur primitivi, documenti vocali ci consentono di ascoltare l'artista prima del suo soggiorno in Italia nel 1905, quando si formò sotto il maestro Sabatini. Questi ultimi due CD contengono le introduzioni parlate di McCormack,spesso significative quanto il canto vero e proprio. Come tutti i lavori realizzati dalla Marston Recordings, anche la presentazione non è seconda a nessuno. I 16 dischi sono contenuti in una resistente scatola con finitura lucida. L'opuscolo di 163 pagine raccoglie saggi e note sulle registrazioni ed è realizzato dai due più autorevoli studiosi di John McCormack: Gordon Ledbetter, autore di due libri sul tenore, e Michael Aspinall, l'esperto riconosciuto a livello mondiale sull'arte del bel canto, di cui McCormack è stato uno dei massimi esponenti. I saggi di Gordon T. Ledbetter e Michael Aspinall forniscono una ricchezza di materiale biografico e una rassegna dell'eredità registrata dell'artista. Ricchissima la collezione di fotografie in bianco e nero contenute nel booklet,in particolare: una di McCormack con Vladimir Horowitz, un concerto di addio in una gremita Royal Albert Hall del 1938, senza un posto vuoto, e una foto di McCormack con Sir Edward Elgar scattata 1932. Il box è stato pubblicato dalla Marston in 1000 esemplari. Si riportano alcune recensioni dei maggiori esperti del settore.
  • John McCormack: A Patrician Artist

Ward Marston has worked miracles with these irreplaceable recorded documents, and they emerge as fresh and vibrant. His efforts cannot be praised enough. This is a Limited Edition of 1000 sets. No aficionado of the ‘Golden Age of Singing’ will want to be without it.

—Stephen Greenbank, MusicWeb International , June 2019

  • McCormack the Magnificent

I think it fair to say that Ward Marston’s latest McCormack set – his long awaited completion of the great singer’s recorded legacy as expertly transferred to CD [previous volumes are available on Naxos and Marston Records] – will prove one of the glories of recorded vocal art.

—Rob Cowan, Gramophone , August 2019

  • “Must haves” for John McCormack, Gospel and “Black music” fans

Award-winning producer Ward Marston may have outdone himself with the newest release on his independent Marston Records label... The sound Marston gets is amazing.

—Steve Ramm, The Antique Phonograph , September 2019

  • John McCormack: A Patrician Artist - “Five stars it is, then”

It is a remarkable accomplishment in all respects, made greater still when one considers the varying (and sometimes very poor) condition of the surviving materials... Taken all together, this labor of love is a must for the McCormack collector, or to any fancier of vintage opera and song that relishes great performances... 5 stars – For the McCormack completist, it doesn't get any better than this.

—Barry Brenesal, Fanfare
