Leontyne Price profile (February 1987)

[@adoris864]

She makes me so proud to be a black woman. I have long been fascinated with black opera singers. So regal, so gifted, so splendid. Brava, Ms. Price.

[@lundilar]

We have come to the year of 2021, and Leontyne Price is now more than ever the world’s greatest living soprano.

[@royaldomain4055]

& cousin to the Voice, Whitney Houston not to mention her another talented cousins.

[@trilobit4]

She was always the greatest living soprano, at least for me. She directly caused my love for the opera. In my opinion, she is the best and most beautiful lyric soprano I have ever heard.

[@ramonaportlockbrumfield9274]

I have loved her my entire life. As a little girl I would watch her on tv with her beautiful head wraps and wonderful designer gowns. Her voice would bring me to tears.

[@rbaltimo]

THANK GOD SHE IS STILL WITH US IN GOOD HEALTH!

[@Bailey2006a]

Hallelujah Amen

[@charlesdotson4766]

[@donconhar]

Her laughter is infectious!

[@APG-fu6gk]

Leontyne Price, Grace Bumbry, Camilla Williams, Marian Anderson and Jeanne Gordon are my all time favorites. BRAVO! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SaintPandemonium]

What a rare find! Thank you so much for uploading this! 1. Hearing/seeing her warm-up at the piano brought joy to my heart 2. Hearing/seeing her conduct a master class sent me to Heaven

[@caramelorb]

My pleasure. I'm happy you like it.

[@artistsf1]

A thousand thanks to whomever put this together. Except for the final Aida and the White House concert this is all new footage to me. It was wonderful to see the photos of her parents in their youth. Seeing her with her equally amazing brother, retired Brigadier General George Price was the highlight for me. His clarity, strength and dignity fully matched his illustrious sister. What a family that must have been. THANK YOU.

[@wTrevorh]

Indeed.

[@geraldinetalley3664]

You mean what a family they are since Ms. Price and her brother are still with us.

[@cjordan99]

I am AMAZED at this find. I mean, over the moon. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!!!

[@caramelorb]

Staying at home because of the virus, I looked at my old videotapes and started watching. There was much to share. I'm glad this struck a chord.

[@tina8796]

What an extraordinary lady. Pure elegance, highly intelligent, interesting, funny and quite beautiful. I love her speaking voice. I was surprised she's still living at the age of 96. Her interviews are amazing. Showcases her high intelligence and magnetic personality

[@dantewalston2755]

Bravissimo!! What an artist! Leontyne’s energy and excitement about life and singing is contagious, thank you so much for this!

A beautiful singer and beautiful person!💐💐

[@Cyber_Diva]

Simply glorious!💕 Thank you.

[@dianadambrosio1]

Oh Leontyne .. you were my guiding light and inspiration through my intro into opera ..I lived on your tapes traveling in my car ... vocalizing to a show or an audition I remember I always wanted to sound like you as much as my voice could as a coloratura could. The breath that just flowed out of you for support with the consonants just making a quick entrance to make a word..the closest to perfection I could hear. ❤ Thank you ..

[@susanllequis3832]

This is the best to happen in another Saturday morning. and learning, seeing a National Treasure of talent and Dignity.

[@DGRexMJBCOS]

The lady in yellow at 5:09 is Brenda Wimberly, a professor of voice and singer extraordinaire.

[@caramelorb]

Thanks for this information.

[@charlesdotson4766]

Yes, it is! Brenda lived here in Houston and sang quite often with the Houston Ebony Opera guild. She is still singing and teaching voice at a university in Louisiana.

[@mugrad25]

She did have an incredible high C

[@rosalieciardullo3150]

How lucky to be able to see and her in this type of setting. I thoroughly enjoyed it and wished it was longer still. S

[@mauricioszwerdszarf1455]

I LOVE LEONTYNE!

[@corneliuswhite5139]

This is tremendous!! Thank You for posting.

[@caramelorb]

I'm glad you enjoy it.

[@oralogarro9932]

I would love to see that list.

[@Keiwon.X.Lambert]

9:30 PERIOD!!!! I know that’s right, mother! ❤️❤️

[@susanllequis3832]

So happy. you inaugurated Lincoln Center but why is Justino Diaz never mentioned?

[@richardsb97]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video

[@caramelorb]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@jjlungdoc7472]

You are so right. Even at the 50 th Anniversary Gala celebrating the opening the Met at Lincoln Center, Mr Díaz was ignored despite the fact that he attended the concert. I saw him during the intermission and he was very nice when I approached him. I suppose his political star at the Met dimmed a while ago. However that omission was very unfair in my view.

[@alexandersinclair]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this upload.

[@Duncan456]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@caramelorb]

Happy Birthday, #Leontyne Price95!🌹🌹🌹

[@mrrkdino]

Who is the amazing singer in the yellow dress? She sounded like a young Price.

[@alfredrrutherfordjr.3413]

Wow!!!

[@unphazd5137]

She's Whitney Houston's and Dionne Warwick's cousin

[@coreyjamontsmith917]

Who are the singers in the masterclass and what happened to them?

[@caramelorb]

I suppose anyone's guess 34 years later. Perhaps one or two of them will see this and chirp up.

[@msnos6245]

Imma buy a hat just like hers.

[@valeriejackson2525]
