The gold standard!

@dave4128 sometimes keys yellow with age

Great singing but other lovely versions also include Kiri Te Kanawa's and Renee Fleming's.

There may be many who try, but none who succeed in matching or topping Ms. Price in this aria. Hers is the benchmark performance.

...there are "divettes", and then there are DIVAS. Her delivery is always breathtaking and always impeccable. And she always draws you in...and that, regardless of what people may say to the contrary, IS NOT easy to do.

Sublime. Brava ,mille volte brava !!!

During the piano intro at the very beginning, the lower keys of the piano look filthy. Is that possible?

It sent tingles all over my skin and tears to my eyes. Truly wonderful and unparalleled performance.



the incredible breath control, the unique phrasing & unparalleled emotional intensity, the sheer brilliance of the upper register, plus the fact that she simply just stood there & sang the heck out of it without all the physical machinations, as only the greatest singers are able to do!
utter genius & unmatched vocal beauty from the one & only!

This is one of the best live renditions EVER to be seen/heard. I very much regret reading the above exchange of comments which are so ridiculous and out of place here. Why do you waste your time and energy? Simply enjoy the great Leontyne Price. Our own contemporary Golden Age of singing.
