My Diva, my heroine, my source of inspiration....... Am just speechless at the immensity of this voice, it's colour, expression, beauty. Just listening to it makes the hairs on my arms stand up with shivers running down my back. Please, God, lend me her voice just for one day .. :-)

Her voice was so amazing. So dark in the lower register, husky in the middle and bright in the upper. For me She is one of my favorites alongside Callas and Sutherland.

My goodness! That's some singing. Absolutely wonderful!

Damn, shes not singing, shes playing the voice...

[Josquinquin]

Her Trovatore Leonora just got better and better over the years.

Remember, folks, this is Ms. Price singing just a few years before her retirement from the operatic stage. What a talent!. I doubt any other soprano sang Verdi like she did.

It’s not every day that a conductor, orchestra and chorus break into spontaneous applause at the end of a performance. Price was the darling of conductors. She was always prepared, had the confidence to lunge into what she called ‘nose bleed’ territory, and ALWAYS delivered. When she decided to take on an aria, she claimed it, and her version became the standard. I was so privileged to have seen her in recital in the latter years. Brava Leontyne. Simply put: You’re the best!

Price's physical delivery is amazing look at her body movement during the last set of notes...I am learning so much

[Trinite33]

Fabulous! The stuff of which legends are made. She is simply THE BEST.

4:21 this is a vocal miracle!

Verdi truly must have heard the voice of La Price in his mind and ears when he wrote these great soprano roles.....so custom tailored they are for her voice. Brava!
