Leontyne Price in -Die Liebe der Danae- London 1959

[MatteoDesigns]

The tenor sound like Nicholai Gedda! Leontyne sounds like an angel.

The tenor in this recording was my first singing teacher. He celebrates his 90th birthday tomorrow (on the same day as Schubert). He is a wonderful technician, a real gentleman and a sublime artist: Lloyd Strauss-Smith

Divine.

Legato Classics CD [LCD 234-1] gives a single excerpt (17'27") from this opera:

DIE LIEBE DER DANAE Finale to Act I

'Ein Schiff! Ein Schiff!...Leuchtet mein Traum?'

as well as 'Zweite Brautnacht' from DIE AGYPTISCHE HELENA'. These excerpts are all the material from this broadcast I have ever seen. The 'Helena' excerpt on the same program suggests an all-Strauss concert, but not a complete 'Danae'.

The Legato CD gives this info:

Danae - Leontyne Price

Midas - Lloyd Strauss-Smith

Jupiter - John Nobel

Peter Herman Adler, conductor

Was the original bradcast of the complete opera?

Price was and still is the Best!

I never knew that she sang this early in her career. Later, in the 70s, she made an entire recording of Strauss scenes and notably added Ariadne to her opera repertoire and made an excellent recording of the entire opera (with Solti, I believe).

There is complete recording? Leontyne is amazing. Brava!

[liedersanger1]

No complete recording.THis was an excerpt from a radio broadcast on BBC. Who is the tenor, I wonder? He's good.
