Henry Ward Marston IV (born 22 May 1952)[1] is an American audio transfer engineer and producer, known for the conservation and reissue of historical recordings.
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.
"[5] In 1961, his parents took him to a performance of Puccini's Turandot conducted by Leopold Stokowski at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
Dissatisfied with many commercial transfers of early and historic recordings he began producing transfers for broadcasting which lead in 1976 to Columbia Masterworks engaging Marston to prepare an edition of some early Budapest String Quartet recordings.
Among Marston's noted achievements are a collection devoted to the Victor recordings of Fritz Kreisler, released by RCA in 1995 which received a nomination in the category of Grammy Award for Best Historical Album, the Franklin Mint Toscanini Collection, RCA’s complete Sergei Rachmaninoff, the Philadelphia Orchestra Centennial Collection, the complete recordings of Josef Hofmann, The Rubinstein Collection for RCA Red Seal garnering a second Grammy Award nomination in 2001; and the complete recordings of Enrico Caruso for the Pearl and Naxos labels.
