Calvin Marsh enjoyed international acclaim from 1954-1966 as one of the Metropolitan Opera’s leading artists. He appeared for many years on the roster of “Who’s Who in America.” The New York Times described his Germont in Verdi’s “La Traviata” as “Eloquent! The bravos were long and sustained!” Jerome Hines, world-famous Metropolitan Opera basso, declared Calvin’s baritone “one of the most beautiful to be heard on any stage in the world.” During the 1966-67 season, Calvin became an international star with exciting debuts in Germany, England, Switzerland and Mexico City.

On this recording, Calvin sings the songs of the American Jewish composer, Jeremiah Ginsberg, the writer of award-winning Biblical musicals, whose music from the Scriptures carries an end-time prophetic message of an outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the Jewish people and their Land, Israel. Composer Ginsberg is at the piano and is the second voice.

These one-of-a-kind historic recordings were made in 1979 in New York and have been in storage until this time. Calvin retired to Dallas, TX, where he lived to the age of 91. He passed away on Monday, June 18, 2012. Calvin Marsh, one of the greatest baritones ever to grace the stage of the Metropolitan Opera! Deeply loved, highly honored and respected! Born February 11, 1921, died June 18, 2012.
