Leontyne Price "La mamma morta"

[4MeLulu]

amazing

[2949james]

wow wow and more wow

[luciano9009]

Very passionate and powerful...

[Vendimi3]

Penetrante. Assieme a Callas e Cerquetti una delle voci che - qui lo ammetto - mi riducono alle lacrime.

[PHATBOYTREX]

wow she's beautiful.

[kuintesa]

callas # 1

[kuintesa]

jajajaja,nada que ver con callas.

[esarmiu]

Afortunadamente, porque esta señora canta muchísimo mejorque la Callas y expresa un setimiento verdadero y no caligráfdico

[LivaDena]

Aprille wished she could hold a candle to Miss Price.

With that said, Millo is a formidable Artist.

[kotiplessa]

listen to aprile millo in this aria, for me the best ever

[stingabe]

I wonder if she had any idea of how beautiful her voice was, is.

[martello79]

I recall her saying in an interview that she listened through a lot of recordings while maiking a compilation cd and that she sometimes thought: "well THIS I did quite beautiful!" And then a big smile followed :)

[martello79]

Very very beautifully sung and such an honest and intense interpretation.

How is it possible that some people try to compare two great artists who put all their artistry, yes their soul in a performance. Are two artists the same? Are their souls comparable?

[epvideochannel]

right!!!!

[carrotjuse]

Well said, martello79! Thank you.

[tebza84]

very beautiful indeed but still nothing ,to the Callas version

[carrotjuse]

Tebza84, the Callas Casta diva was/is, to me. the most emotional & memorable I have ever heard & her voice on a recording can bring tears to my eyes, still. But this is Leontyne, also one of the most remarkable voices of the 20th century. I marvel at the sound that comes out of her mouth. I do not compare the two. I merely listen and marvel, and thank God that I have had the opportunity to hear them both.

Leontyne sang this great aria in recitals, but never recorded the opera nor performed the role onstage so far as I'm aware. To me, this performance is so nuanced, expressive,

and daring:the balefulness,despair, urgency, and thrust. Here she opts for the low note at the end, which is just as dramatic, perhaps even moreso, as the alternative higher one. Every sound of Heaven and Earth was present in Leontyne's voice. This is singing of the highest order.

[patrick96321]

I certainly learned the power of low notes in 1985 when I got to hear Marilyn Horne in recital in Little Rock. She ended the song "Shall We Gather At The River" with a rich low note that thrilled me as much as any high note I've ever heard.

[draymond1024]

What an amazing performance. I think she comes as close to perfection in this aria as anyone...with the exception of La Divina Callas, of course!

[muhammad1906]

Diva indeed!

[mmurnieks1]

She was the best! Never heard her sing a bad note. One of the biggest thrills of my life was seeing her in Cleveland Met on tour opening night in Aida!!!

[OperaGhost1990]

BRAVA LEONTYNE!!!!

[gramule]

Wow! So etheral, beautiful rendition.

[vdhelst]

what a shallow remark. Maddalena is in sorrow and then extacy, why should she then be sung wit a etheral and beautiful voice? There is now interpretation in Price's vocabulary. She sings powerfully all the time, that's it. Did you hear Callas in this piece?

[gramule]

I am afraid that your comment does not make sense to me, please use and english grammar/spell check, and re-post. Many thanks.

[isinglouderthanu]

your comment vdhelst is the shallow one...

[LeeVita19]

La Diva di tutte le Dive. Brava, Leonessa

[pelageja23]

It`s so beatiful!

*10*

[mariasarda]

L'une des plus belles voix du XXème siècle. Fruitée et gorgée de générosité, sensuelle et pleine, expressive. En plus cet air me fait toujours chialer... heureusement que vous me voyez pas........ Brava Leontyne, et grosses bises à Onegin65 qui publie des extraits extraordinaires !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[macciboma]

Non solo grande interprete verdiana, io la ritengo tra le migliori interpreti pucciniane

Grazie al cuore della Price, che ci commuove.

[ktpj]

Spine tingling and without peer.

[gj2855]

Brava, Diva!!!!!!

[Dobrib]

Immortal Leontyne!Who can sing Verdi like she did. Beautiful! TY.

[macciboma]

Sublime il canto della Price in questa aria,

tra le più belle voci del 20 secolo.

Brava e commovente grandiosa.

Grazie per il magnifico video.

[tHEnOOSEsWINGS]

This is another magnificent morta version. And new photographs of Ms Price-an exceptionally beautiful and divine opera singer. Thank you for your excellent vidoes.
