She is good, but Maria Slatinaru is better by a wide margin. Slatinaru's voice is uniquely suited for the role of Leonora. It is ampler, more spacious, richer.
It's often thought that this aria was originally intended by Verdi for his never-finished dream project, KING LEAR. Much of the text is taken from a projected KING LEAR libretto, where it was an aria for Cordelia, and Verdi probably carried the music over from that project.
I have seen (on video) Leontyne Price do this and even though this singer (Tebaldi) is very great the young Leontyne took off more of the top of my head.
Grandiosa! The cast of this Forza (Tebaldi, Corelli, Bastianini, Christoff, Capecchi) is one of the best ones you could imagine.

Renata shines here with her voice and beauty. Her "addio, adddd-i-o-" is splendid. I feel like she is saying addio to me.

Beside beautiful singing Tebaldi is very beautiful.
Her voice is so firm, no mushy sound from her.
Also she is very feminine.

Brava!
GENIAL!
For me the best lirico-spinto/spinto-dramatic voice for Verdi!
This is eternity!

She is the best Leonora. Maybe this whole version is the best ever.

where do you get off saying this singing is far superior to Price. Tebaldi is great, no
doubt about it. However Miss Price is never flat on her notes and Leontyne brought such musicality to the
Verdi Roles, which I am so grateful for.

Tebaldi is far superior to Price - the voice more even, richer and more powerful. Also her diction is perfect.

Friend: Tebaldi is like a well groomed collie or poodle. Price is like a pit bull with blood on it's face.

@mmaumm Price is not as refine as Tebaldi and her voice also not as beautiful, she lacked italian bites
in her singing.

What a beautiful voice and face. So feminine.
Clear sound and diction. She has the perfect control of her voice. This the Great Tebaldi at her best.
