Thank God for a voice like this. It is resplendent, shimmering and loaded with dynamics. The lady knows how to sing. Yes, how. And i simply do not get these comments here about her size, etc. What are you listening to???

Wow! Does he know how to sing. If people would only pay closer attention to what he does. Absolutely beautiful voice -- lyrical and with a faultless technique. The tenor for the new millenium. Drama magnifique.

Divine! A master - intelligent. Finally we have a tenor who knows all about voice. Bravissimo!

An artist of the highest caliber. Her tone and control of such is absolutely wonderful. She knew what she was doing and did it superbly. I am happy to be esperiencing this. I have such respect for this great woman. And her tempo and breath control. How exquisitely she holds that beautiful note at...

So lyrical with the intelligence and intensity all in the right places. And his high notes! All magnificent. The man knew how to sing. Where is bel canto today? You can't tell me that Florez comes close. Nope. And, please, don't say that it has to do with the type of music he sings. It is just no...

Boy does this bring back memories.

This film has one great performance in it by Jill Clayburgh. Her career should have taken off like wildfire and that year, the Oscar should have gone to her. Jane Fonda won it for a performance that doesn't compare with Ms. Clayburgh's. I, too, am saddened by the loss. I think that she still had...

A beautiful voice that went unappreciated by those people who do not know what bel canto is. She was an aftist -- the voice was always focused and there is so much beauty and color in it and her dynamic range is great: pianissimo on up. How anyone can consider her performances lacking in musician...

What energy and what a great score!!! Bravissimo!!!!

I have waited nearly an eternity to hear this so much. Thank you for posting and let's hope that this does get mixed and released. I cannot wait. Filled with anticipation. It is the composer's most iinnovative, ambitious score and the show was treated so abominably by the critics.

Ron Raines is a fantastic performer/actor/singer who has played so many great roles on stage. I was fortunate to work with him on "A Little Night Music," and I can think of no one else more perfect for the lead role. He works hard and he is also so humorous and pleasant to work with. I am sure he...

I wish that they would come out with a CD recording of this performance. The soloists are just perfect and I sense much emotionality in the reading. Price is in top form. I noticed that there is an old CD of this available that has poor sound quality. Pity.

Ms. Price is always fantastic. God bles...

I do not think that there is anyone else out there who has done the work to perfect what is here. Ms. Price is THE voice. I thank God for her. I also add that she is probably one of the humblest of creatures. What a voice and consummate musician. She does it all. I am glad that, as she says,...

Larry is in love with her too, Paul!! She is queen and king all rolled into one!!!!

Tone, color, intelligence, hard work and consistency. The brilliance that is Leontyne Price. Unmatched and compelling. A spellbinding artist. The lady knew HOW to sing -- and that's what sustained her career. It is a shame that she retired from the opera stage when she did. She is a profound...

She continually thrills me with her beauty of tone and her intensely dramatic interpretations that are like no others. She has it all. I wish that she were still singing. Because she made her life's work her voice, she gave the world something that will forever be cherished. She's the brighte...

Shirley MacLaine the ham. This is altogether unendurable. I remember how I felt hearing this 27 years ago and my emotion remains the same. She is not the best and so many other performances on film have gone unrecognized. She got lucky. Personally there is something repellant about all of th...

Joel Grey invaded the role and examined it through. He is astonishing in his relentlessness. This frightening character is fully realized and no one matches his intensity. Masterful. Nobody touches him here. Everybody else, move over. I also think that the girls are perfect -- decadent pre-N...

Cannot get enough of her. Thank God for her -- nobody like her. AT ALL!

There is no one that can do it like she does -- the musicianship, the talent, the glorious head voice coupled with such dramatic intensity -- an infinite number of superlatives for this greatest of singers and this magnificent person. She is so complete -- talk about having it all and then some....
