  • I'm fully convinced upon hearing her Mozart arias that she would have made a great Mozart soprano exclusively had it not been for her more popular Verdi roles (and she recorded lots of Mozart arias other than the roles of Ana, Elvira, Fiordiligi, Countess in Figaro, Pamina, etc). Her talent is larger than most people think.

  • Im in awe..listen to her Verdi's Pace Pace with Mehta and then listen to her sing this Mozart..She is the essence of what a true prima donna is!!!!!!!!

  • @meltzerboy I too was recalling the voice of Selma Kurz.... thank you for your homage to her and the gleaming pure voices like hers.

  • @Sadiesexy i did not know that small agile voices were in fashion right now... have I missed them? Recommend some to me, because I enjoy them in some rep, and am tired of forced darker voices sometimes too.

  • Sorry, didn't mean to be so rude but your reply was. I was not critiziing Ms.Price. You have no right to tell me that "My opinion is not needed". Your arrogance is what made me respond to you the way I did. I apologize. Anyway, we're talking about people talents, not you.

  • @loredinusa Some of what you say may be true (although I certainly disagree that the expression is not feminine enough), but these kind of unfavourable comparisons are unnecessary and inappropriate. You present your opinions as fact and seek to foist them on others.

  • Perlman!

  • @loredinusa Glad I could help:) Thanks for the comment.

  • @loredinusa Interesting point...I don't fully agree with you about Schwarzkopf, though I did think her Four Last Songs were the definitive.

  • @Sadiesexy no, i don't.  great point!

  • @htshoward Yes, you were able to put my thoughts into words so much better than I did :).

  • I like Mrs. Price a lot, but in this aria she missed something. The expression is not feminine enough, and that "taking the sound from under" doesn't help, as it makes the aria a little heavy. Her "Dove sono" is much better. The voice is exquisite, yes, but I need that message "L'amero, saro constante" to get through and I can care less about the perfect sounds. Schwarzkopf is the one that got the message and was able to transmit it.
