  • CON QUESTA INTERPRETAZIONE E QUESTA VOCE HO INIZIATO AD AMARE LA LIRICA

    GRANDE GRANDE PRICE

  • @ferraragi Si...e' vero- GRANDE GRANDE L. PRICE. Ha la voce meravigliosa:calda, росhissimo scura, ha molto la tecnica. Amo lei!

  • Absolutely wonderful!

  • @cklars62 Thank You very much for the comment!

  • Thanks a lot for uploading - it is a true gem, and also allows to compare her splendid voice, style and interpretation with those of other wonderful black artists like Grace Bumbry and Denyce Graves (and they all win for me).

  • @vittorioameglio Grazie per il Vostro commento! La Leontyne Price e" la mia preferita opera cantante come mezzo soprano. Lei e" vera Diva! Ha la voce stupendo! Non esista l"altra cosi meravigliosa Carmen.

  • This is a Carmen of Carmens for glorious vocalization. Those upward portamentos that nobody else could bring to music like her, and then be spot on in her pitch when she chose to make a point, settling right in the middle of the note as the orchestra settled is performer genius. You just understand what singing can be, and what an unparalleled instrument: voice, voice, voice, with nuance and intelligence, it remains.

    Unbelievable.

  • @higharch absolutely! she's so unappreciated and somewhat unknown to some probably because she doesn't gleam in the spotlight like others! Ms. Price KNOWS her instrument as well as her talents and that's what made her a Prima Donna! 

  • based on "el arreglito" by Sebastian Yradier

  • "El arreglito" Sebatian Yradier

  • Higharch: Thank you for such a scholarly and insightful tribute to the phenomenon of Leontyne Price. The most revealing description of such Regal artist I have read to date

  • Leontyne è una delle mie cantanti preferite. Il suo fascino vocale è unico, perfetto per Carmen.
