  • Superb!

    Beautiful voice. She creates a real sense

    of attachment with her characters and has

    an ease of facility with the coloratura.

    A major talent, who sang Verdi and Wagner,

    she is perhaps the most underrated soprano

    of the 1970s and 1980s.

    Brava Margaret!

    Thanks for posting!

  • Her recitative is exquisitive. Few singers truly take the time to fully explore the emotions in this very critical prologue to the aria. She meticulously reveals the colorful array of emotions of the character to make the following aria more meaningful. Furthermore, her voice is pure lyric silver. Her notes are never forceful and very spontaneous.

  • The Most Beautiful Voice I have ever heard.

  • Thank you so much for posting this historical gem. R.I.P.

    She is deeply missed. True wonderful soprano.

  • Comment I of II It is with great sadness that Dame Margaret price passed away on January 28,2011. The world has lost one of the most luminous voice, with superb legato and a rare and unique musical sense. Her repertoire was always chosen carefully to suit her voice and she is a fully accomplished lieder interpret. In her personal life she was a very courageous person, suffering from her legs since childhood with difficult surgeries and remained in pain for the rest of her life.

  • Comment II of II She also was a very caring person in taking care of a brother mentally challenged. All of these can be actually heard in her warm interpretation and superb maitrise of sounds. Thank you Dame Margaret Price for giving us so much emotions ! Thank you for posting this video. Please listen also an amazing interpretation of Mozart: Vorrei spiegarvi, o Dio.

  • Many thanks for positng this histrical gem.

    R.I P Margaret Price.She is deeply missed.

  • not just wonderful but excellent technique in the total register - the rrrrs and the vowels! plus the tremendous and building pianissimo at about 5,14

  • The note at 2:29 in the recit.... piano executed perfectly. Ahh! I agree too with operaoaf3.... recit acted amazingly. I'm so thankful YouTube exists so she is never really gone :)

  • One of best Countesses, one of best voices - EVER!!! :) & :( God bless You, Dame! RIP

  • @minnie888444 do your research love and I quote, "Early opera houses were often boisterous and unruly. They were also lit by candles which—when combined with perspiration, perfume, and little ventilation—made opera night fairly ripe." AND "After hearing of scandolous behaivor at the Tor di Nona in 1697, Pope Innocent XII (1615-1700) decreed the opera house immoral and ordered it to be burned to the ground."

  • RIP ... one of the best sopranos of our time!!!
