  • WOW! A GIFT FROM GOD SHE IS!

  • @drplot1 Agreed I can listen to both Price and Sutherland sing this all day.

  • All I can say: Wow! How beautiful. I prefer not to compare. Only Leontyne sings like Leontyne; I was lucky enough to hear her sing live before she retired. It was unforgettable.

  • @Anton10or, Leontyne is second to NO ONE!! She and lady Callas are unmatched.

  • Second only to Dame Joan Sutherland she is wonderful!!!

  • The greatest female opera singer of all time. The way she holds on to a note. Its as if she is not breathing. No one can touch her talent even though their are some great female singers today.

  • amid the harsh lights and everyone and everything all up on her...this angelic woman not only delivered this aria with absolute exactness, she made me feel as if we were alone in the theatre. I love when artists are so magnificent they propel you to another place.

  • I love Leontyne..........her voice brings across so much emotions.

  • What a beautiful soul and a TRUE Dramatic Soprano. She brings such feeling and emotion. It's enough to make a grown man cry.

  • No one can sing opera as well as Leontyne.
