This lady is one hell of an act! Love it!
-
This music is too fussy for the beautifully plaintive text. .. Ms. Price, however, is superb, as always.
-
One of the truly great voices of the 20th century, and a wonderful recitalist.
-
the gold standard performance of this piece , vocally and pianistically.
-
poor Gibbons...
-
Is that John Wustman accompanying? Of course, there are some pieces of music where she is without peer. This is just one example.
-
A spectacular performance but I think a simpler and more restrained arrangement would have suited the text better.
-
I have returned to this video time and time again. It's such a refreshingly honest performance from one of the greatest!! Please don't ever take it down!

@violatione Something tells me you didnt mean the websters definition. And I'm not taking personal offense I'm defending an incredible composer and brilliant piece of music. I don't think I'm the one getting out of line and getting overly sensitive.
This is what performing genius looks and sounds like. This is what it means to get inside the text and music. There is no peer. Students look, learn, and love.
