oh my god, i`m so impressed. the top notes are sooooo beautiful. not many top singers in the past and the present had/have such a rich, clear and perfect tone.
We are in danger of forgetting just how incomparable Margret Price is - she can out do all other sopranos in her pianissimo control in this piece whilst still convincing us with a huge sound. She can be both ethereal and sensuous at the same time.
Thank you for posting. MP looks radiant, and sounds even more so. This is what you get when you match one of the loveliest Italian arias with one of the loveliest voices ever -- magic. The message of modesty in this particular aria matches MP's sweet demeanor. One of the very best sopranos, such a pure voice.
I can't believe what I've heard. People don't sing like that anymore. My favorite, Caballe couldn't be better. I heard Price many years ago in a historic stage of Don Carlo with Domingo, Obrazcova and Nesterenko, Zeffirelli I think was a director. She was completely ill with flu and still sang like a healthy singer wouldn't even think of singing. It showed on TV in USSR and for a few days there was talk of nothing else but her singing. Thanks for posting. Fantastic!!!
Most singers will tell you this aria is very hard- especially the octave jumps at the end. She makes it all sound so easy! One of the loveliest versions of I've ever heard of this aria. I'd be standing and cheering as well.
Is the cleanest version of this aria. I agree about the relationship between fatness and beautiful singing. Maria Callas is an example of that. When she was fat, she rocked and then she became thin and her voice became unpleasent.
Flawless technique and beautiful sound. Brava. I read in the latest issue of Opera News that she retired 9 yrs ago, and that she always applied the way she sang Mozart to everything she sang, which much accounts for that creamy, clean sound. Bella Voce!

Triste tristesse, Margaret Price est partie.
Irremplaçable Margaret.
Voix unique comme toutes grandes voix.
Je pleurais déjà de ne plus l'entendre.
Je pleure qu'elle ne soit plus.

Comme Margaret PRICE manque au firmament des Etoiles lyriques depuis qu'elle a quitté la scène.
Que de triomphes elle a connus sur notre scène de l'Opéra Garnier à Paris.
Inoubliable artiste.

Price's Mozart is what turned me on to opera and I've never looked back. The concert arias are stunning.

Just Lovely!
Creamy, beautiful soprano, who obviously
made a tremendous impression on the huge
audience. She looks and sounds radiant!
I also enjoyed the casual atmosphere of
the proceedings. Maestro Adler looks so
cute! The half-dressed guys in the crowd...
err, not so much!

I have a theory about fat women and sexy voices. I would, if I were single, marry her for her voice. Incredibly voice. One in a hundred million....
