Leontyne Price CUNY interview with NY Times critic and admirer. Pt 2

[@magicmonkichi]

"It's your problem...not mine~...That you can't deal with the beauty of this voice~!" HA~! I could listen to Price talk all day, even her speaking voice is captivating. Thanks for posting these clips :)

[@rickywilliams1537]

Bread and Butta, roles!! Things you can hum, LOL!!! I love her!!!! She's so inspiring!!

[@Rysanekfan]

As with her singing, I can't get enough! What a brilliant and eloquent speaker she is...the cadence and endless variations on vowels. Incredible!

[@alfredduckett]

Leontyne is holding court!

[@DrCoryHunter]

"I've never talked about these things before...they...will be in my book." LOL!! I love it!

[@ClaytonGWilliams]

AMEN!!! "you can't be deterred by other people's problems"

[@JewelsR4ever]

I am so in love with this lady!!! Oh my.

[@googlefan8990]

Beautiful artist and person!!! Such a great interview - wish it was just 1 video - but anyway thanks for posting!

[@corazoncubano5372]

Ms Price is the true meaning of fierce. She still has the same facial intensity now as she had as a young opera singer.

[@voltaire1377]

It is a cliché to considere operatic singers as people with no brains only good in pushing out big high notes..specialy ténors.. in this interview you can realise how different they are!.. Leontyne, who is one of my favs, is just as brilliant when singing than when speaking!! she is smart , intelligent and with a great sense of humour!.. i " drink" any words she says just like if she was singing!

[@direfranchement]

Not sure why people would think that…I can see thinking Pop stars are brainless as many of them are, but opera singers have to actually study. They have to study music and languages. To be successful, they need more than raw talent.

[@Mrsethla]

Thanks for the videos.

Magnificent

[@tatters1232006]

what can one say just that SHE IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!!

[@davidallen508]

Meeting Leontyne Price at a record signing in S.F. in 1996 was a dream come true for me ; such a beautiful woman and person.

[@Lederius18]

Did she say an F over the high C? My GAWD

Happy Birthday, #LeontynePrice95! 🌹🌹🌹

[@St.Garoosh]

Lord have mercy. This video should be played everywhere. In a day and age where its acceptable to spit on the flag and shit on your country as the worst place ever, there is Price proud about her flag, proud about her country and proud to be an American. Leontyne who truly lived through a period of real racism, not the exaggerated, emotionally inflated, social-media driven sensational -type racism we have in 2021. And yet there she is, confident in her talents, proud about her country, grateful to her country for the opportunities provided during such a time. And not one complaint... Take notes.

[@4lebenbaum]

To Julius Maloney. For some reason, they're jealous of Leontyne Price and her artistry. Let us rejoice that she is.

I loved, loved and respected how she managed her voice and career. If she could have dropped the black, poor me, stuff and learned how to pronounce a few words, well, she was the top anyway.

@Gary2837 you do have to wonder don't you. Arbitrary haters with little else to do with themselves. Oh well.

[@josephcollins6033]

Poor little black girl, so oppressed, no advantages at all. She was always such a racist; that chip on her shoulder! Such a glorious sound. Sad that she employed such "soul" mannerisms in her later singing. She was one of the greats. However, you can dress 'em up...

Joseph Collins. What a wacko comment.

[@josephcollins6033]

@@liedersanger1 How silly you are. Everything I said above ( and below ) is accurate. I don't imagine you know anything valid about the voice. And, you probably are a cruel, looney Liberal.

[@josephcollins6033]

@@liedersanger1 David, I don't want to do this. I regret responding as I did; saw your comment about "whacko' and reacted. I do know a great deal about the voice and singing. It was/is my career. I know the science. Price was a goddess, no question. What I initially said is correct; you just don't often hear people pounce against the reverse racism thing. You and I both love her singing very much.
