Margaret Price, Andre Previn and the LSO at the Royal Festival Hall in 1981. Margaret Price never made a commercial recording of these songs so I hope this fills the gap for some of you!

  • I was on the receiving end of Margaret's sharp tongue as a 19 year old at the stage door of the New Theatre Cardiff. I asked a question about the Edinburgh Festival and she dismissed it.I made allowances and have always loved her wonderful voice. One of the great lyric sopranos of the 20th century.

  • Vous étiez tout entière au service du chant et de la musique afin de magnifier votre art qui nous élève sur des cimes d'une ineffable beauté.

    Adieu et merci

  • RIP Margaret Price (1941 - 2011)!

  • Ms. Price did a Verdi Requiem with Abaddo around the same time. Her Libera is the best I have ever head. The performance is available on dvd. It may even

    be available on youtube. A young Jessye Norman and Jose Cararres are also

    involved.

  • Margaret was a fantastic soprano with an enormous potential: Her character was not always easy and she was a very shy person. That did not help in her career. Shame because she was very talented and full of temperament.

  • @co42penny Use "keepvid" to download it and convert it to a mp4 and then use a conversion to download it to mp3. Best of luck.

  • @co42penny I have just seen an entire box set on Hyperion-records.co.uk for Schubert. Welsh songs I cannot help with. I have Mendelssohn and Mozart if you are interested. Not uploaded as yet, but mail me if you are interested...

  • Did she record an LP of Schubert/Welsh Songs? Availability?

  • Allo iforgeti,

    Thank you for posting this recital of Dame Margaret Price.

    No word to tell how we miss her.

    But I assure you that she made one commercial recording of these four last songs. The fisrt time I heard that work was on record and this is how I heard M.Price and the four last songs for the first time in my life (by 1979 or 1980...).

    At once I became an admirer of Strauss and M. Price and for ever since.

    Excuse for my limited english.
