For me Leontyne Price IS Aida.

Fantastica
-
one of the truly great voices of the 20th century (Wagner R Strauss) but in this opera give me Leontyne Price anyday

@horowitz109 Now that is what singing is all about...no frills but pure perfection and sheer beauty!

I love her Aida just as much as I do her Brunnhilde and her Isolde.
-
She is The Titan of Opera. Amazing.
Thank You.

@rlee1976 I was in the chorus at San Francisco Opera when Laura Claycomb was going through the Merola and Adler programs (young artist training). I knew she had a 'spark' and it is heartening to see her so sucessful, especially here in Europe. But even she gets too overlooked by the really major houses. As for Fleming: retire, cash in your options, girl, buy your farm, raise some hens and DON'T MAKE ANY MORE CROSSOVER ALBUMS...

Go on and tell the truth!
Gotta admit, RF had promise to begin with, but the endless scooping and her loss of power over the years and just plain disregard for knowing the limits of her instrument has taken its toll...
But, the mindless public will still buy the albums and support...
On another note, someone with a light lyric voice like Laura Claycomb I believe is much better than all these "ina" singers over here... but the Met doesn't want anyone with any kind of artistry.

Ogni artista esegue ed interpreta in modo diverso ognuna completa l'altra e ognuno da un'emozione diversa. Perchè dovere scegliere e non godersele tutte? Possiamo fare tutti i paragoni del mondo ma quando un'artista ha il sacro foco emoziona anche quando sta zitta.
Brava la Nilsson, brava la Tebaldi, brava la Callas, brava la Price.

Birgit's High C 's and ending pianissimo makes every dramatic soprano jealous.Sorry Callas,Tebaldi,Price..........

Everything taken into account, this is perhaps the best rendition I ever heard of this extremely difficult piece. I confess I'm crazy about Ponselle, Price and Caballé versions, but Nilsson's vocal instrument made me shiver with emotion: amazing evennes and seamless flow of sound from middle to top register. She also sings with a dignity very befitting a king's daughter.
