I can just listen to this 100 times over if I wanted to ...amazing.

I very much disagree. A, you need to experience the aria with the Qui Radames Verrai opening to get a sense of how the moment builds to the simple melody laid out by the oboe. B: You seem to be ignoring the melodic shift at 2:58. But if you just have a preference for coloratura style, then nothing can be said. This is dramatic lyricism at ti's finest.

@LohengrinT Let's not forget Emmy Destinn, Rosa Raisa, Rosa Ponselle, Elisabeth Rethberg, Zinka Milanov, Renata Tebaldi and Monserrat Caballe. But even in this starry company Price is a standout as Aïda, certainly the greatest of her time.
