Leontyne Price sings "Tu che di gel sei cinta"

[Durchlaucht1970]

MY GOD!!!!! Her control as always is flawless. I love the sense of cry and drama in her tone. Just wonderful!!

[TELarson58]

I have this on vinyl and never tire of listening to Leontyne sing. Unfortunately the audio on this video is lacking. None-the-less the strength, beauty, richness and empathy of Leontyne Price shines through.

[mvconnelly]

Overwhelming

[enzerinckful]

nice try

[jolucascan]

A pesar de tener ya aquí la voz un poco pesada para el personaje, ella la aligera, apiana y hace mediasvoces de tercipelo. Gran artista

[balletgirl64]

This amazing lyrical voice singing the gorgeous, lyrical, melodic flight of notes from Turandot. No one, but no one, can sing this aria the way Leontyne does. The incomparable divine Ms Price.

[Apollogranforte]

Put simply one of the greatest sopranos of all time.

[Operafiend22]

Amazing...definitely one of the best versions on TY.

[Chilair1]

HOLY EFFING POOP!!!! AMAZING.

[GEF69]

that even the most beautiful voices such as this one, have to expire, is a remarkable mistake of nature. I wish la Price could sing forever.

[khastiello]

Tu che di gel sei cinta, da tanta fiamma vinta, l'amerai anche tu! l'amerai anche tu! Prima di questa aurora io chiudo stanca gli occhi, perché egli vinca ancora Ei vinca ancora. Per non per non vederlo più! Prima di questa aurora di questa aurora io chiudo stanca gli occhi, per non vederlo più!

[opricnik]

Avvinta, non VINTA :-)

[khastiello]

ascolta bene da Maria Callas anche: da-a ta-a-nta fiaamma vinta

[opricnik]

Quello che i soprani cantano non è da confondersi con quello che i librettisti hanno scritto. Altrimenti cosa trascriveresti dalle interpretazioni della Sutherland? :-) Il libretto dice AVVINTA. Leggilo se non ci credi.

[khastiello]

Ecco, sono andato a leggerlo: VINTA.

...Fatti una ripassata...anche alle orecchie.

[opricnik]

Chiedo venia. Ammetto il mio errore e chino il capo.

[khastiello]

Beh, è stata un'occasione per me di ascoltare di nuovo la Divina...in fondo, sbagliando s'impara e a volte sbaglia solo chi fa qualcosa:

Stammi bene.

[khastiello]

Riprendo: in fondo è anche una questione di lettura.

Turandot è già gelida e cinta dal suo orgoglio e quindi è vinta dalle fiamme dell'amore e non avvinta.

[superdooperstupor]

Ms. Price was iited t sing at this centennial celebration of the 100th birthday of the Boston Symphony. It's easy to understand why.The arias from Il Trovatore and The Egyptian Helen are also posted on YouTube. Collect and savor them all!

[elephantbarbiegirl]

There is also a wonderful interpretation of "Visi d'arte" by Ms Price on here as well

She was wonderful- is she still with us?

[superdooperstupor]

Yes. Miss Price is 82 years old.

[vocalpianist]

yep!!

[00ceroalaizquierda00]

Un aria muy bien interpretada.. pero a mí me intriga el tono de piel.. por qué tiene la cara más morena que el escote.. es percepción mia.. ?¿?

GRACIAS ^^

[debbthebee]

Breathtaking!

[ticklemebad]

WHEEEEEW! OMG! Leontyne caresses those high notes with no problem at all!!! She's so incredibly sensational! This was graceful, peaceful, serene, and just simply beautiful. You really can't take anything away from Leo...she's simply remarkable!

[betsywetsy16]

just got chills...

[cek1111]

too bing voice for this aria. no?

[tenornmd]

This beautiful voice is certainly more dramatic at this point. This is from 1981. She began singing the role in the late 50's. I'l leave it to you to figure out the rest.

[cek1111]

Sorry I was a fool. I love her. 'Big voice' or 'pretty voice' was Just my opinion.

[cek1111]

too big!

[macciboma]

Peccato che l'audio lascia a desiderare,

la PRICE È una delle interpreti Pucciniane dalla più bella voce.

[swe50]

The incredible richness of voice of this blessed singer never ceases to amazes me.

There is a haunting quality to ms Price which leaves her in league of her own. Magnificent!

Imagine Nilsson and Price doing Turandot together !!!! Simply outstanding

[wedidntknow]

wow.... the control its so beautiful and graceful....

[ktpj]

There's a recording in print of Turandot on the Myto Records label. The cast includes Leontyne as Liu, Nilsson as Turandot, and DiStefano as Calaf. This performance was recorded live on 6/22/1961 at the State Opera House in Vienna. Price is electrifying.

[toccaraoperadiva]

I pray to be as good as her when i get older!!!!

[OperaGhost1990]

Amazing

[thespis148]

The greatest Puccini and Verdi singer of the 20th century. Brava! Stupendous Diva!

[ChagoWilson]

Such a wonderfully full sound from this most magnificent soprano.

[caruso3]

Miss Price is very good in this aria.

[SinginFool82]

GOD!!!... I wish she had done this more.

[jmahlon]

to bad about the poor audio...but love anything I can get of her!

[hassia1]

fantastic all of these up dates as it is so hard to find live performances of Miss Price in Germany
