Ward Marston Biography

Ward Marston is one of the most popular and richest Audio Engineer who was born on May 22, 1952 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

Henry Ward Marston IV, was born in Philadelphia. Blind from birth he began playing the piano at the age of four and from 1956 to 1964 attended the Overbrook School for the Blind. He was a student of Williams College until 1973, later receiving the Williams College Bicentennial Medal for distinguished achievement in 2005. Throughout this period Marston continued his training in both piano and also the organ, including a period of advanced organ studies with Pierre Cochereau in France during the summer of 1967. In that year also Marston also formed his own jazz group and has subsequently appeared at the Café Carlyle, filling in for Bobby Short, and also at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina.

Marston’s introduction to early recordings began when he was five, a chance encounter of finding a group of old records and a record player in a relatives basement “They put on an old Caruso recording for me – it was called ‘Hosanna’ and it was by a forgotten composer named Granier – and I asked them to play it over and over again. I was fascinated by the tune, by the singing, the sheer sense of history I felt when I was listening to the record.” His parents took him to a performance in 1961 of Puccini’s Turandot conducted by Leopold Stowkowski and given the Metropolitan Opera, New York, this performance was to cement his interest in music and thereafter Marston spent his spare time looking for discounted 78 rpm records in Philadelphia record stores. Marston had already built a substantial library at the time he entered Williams College and he used his collection to broadcast on the college radio station WCFM. Dissatisfied with many commercial transfers of early and historic recordings he began producing transfers for broadcasting which lead in 1976 to Columbia Masterworks Records engaging Marston to prepare an edition of some early Budapest String Quartet recordings. Other commissions followed and in 1979 his restoration work on the experimental Bell Laboratories Wide Range and Stereophonic recordings of Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, made in 1931 and 1932, lead to him being acknowledged as one of the world’s leading transfer engineers.
