Glorious!! I never heard Miss Price sing this aria which is one of my absolute aria favourties! Why didn't someone sit her down and just say : you need to do this opera. Period. WOW. It is as glorius as her Visse d'arte, Summertime, My man has gone, which I am more familiar with.
La Boheme, however, is special for me and makes mer admire her talent even more. Brava absolute!!

@EvilRubberDuckyGirl Obviously someone completely devoid of taste... ;-)

What sumptuous singing, and sung with meaning and musicality. It truly is sad that she never sang this--or many other Puccini and Verdi roles--except for recorded selections that leave us begging for more.
Thanks to Onegin for finding all these marvelous singers and arias!

Amazing! Leontyne sings like a goddess.

Who the fuck could dislike this???

I try so hard to imitate her style, but there is just none LIKE her.

She then added, to the RCA exec, that Musetta was another story! Ha! Apparently that idea didn't get very far. This was back when Caballe was chosen to record it with Solti and Domingo.
tutto sole e sempre per LEONESSA!

Judging by the aria, Mimi is one more role that La Magnifica should have sung but never did, like Verdi's Elisabetta and Violetta to name just two.
