This is just fantasic. I wished they could have performed this and others together in their earlier years. Still great voices and they compliment each other.

@elsiejohn Love your critique! It is "on the money".
-
@raymzi Actually, it's the other way around -- castrati drove him crazy and he preferred women's voices.

Marilyn I love you. Leontyne, I love you too.

How long must we wait until this recital is out on DVD??? True, each of them took turns to vocally tred into unfamiliar waters, but so what if Price's coloratura isn't as fleet as Joan's? For a "juicy lyric" (as she called herself), the B section of the Handel and those floated notes are emotionally devastating from their ethereal quality. And Horne also got to do what she does best: her trills were superb. It was a very wise choice of repertoire to show off both singers' strengths.

Price in unfamiliar coloratura terrain here, but she does surprisingly well. Not as heavy as i've heard her attempt previously in coloratura arias (Sempre Libera for example).
Horne is just incredible as usual. Love the B!
