A prominent NYC voice teacher once said that this world would be a much better place if people would listen to Leontyne Price every morning. Couldn't agree more!

[@monty033]

What a great singer! She could really sing anything as she proves in this sublime recital! Love love love her!!!

Happy 94th Anniversary Of Life Wednesday, February 10, 2021 Our Grandest & Dearest Madame Leontyne Price

[@Trinite33]

Price had three careers simultaneously: recitalist (exemplary here in her fabulously beautiful vocalism), concert, and Opera Diva, all of which witnesses to her singular Assoluta status as the Stradivarius of Singers. I just love her!

I was present at this recital. Miss Price stayed in the same Hotel as I did. She was wonderful!!

[@aldoramos1970]

A GRAND Diva! God bless her forever!

[@GarthAstrology]

Price obviously took her Salzburg programming very seriously. All of the Salzburg programs are impressive for not only their sophistication and breadth, but in making sure to include important touchstones of the song literature. I especially love this and the 1975 recital.

[@GarthAstrology]

Good Grief! The ease with which she sings "Die Allmacht!" She makes it sound so casual and intimate, without losing any of the gravity and import. Amazing! I feel like the concert format suits Price best, especially the song recital.

[@garfieldmoore9632]

Very True .... She had originally intended to be a recitalist: Then she had several encounters with Ljuba Wellitsch at the Met, when still a student at Juilliard. Are you familiar with her early operatic triumphs (live) ...... They were spell binding because of their ease, nuance, brilliance and above all a voice like none other dedicated to the composer's intent ........

[@chrisholley2811]

Okay okay I always wanted to sing like Miss Price she's fabulous.

[@user-bc9mn7gq2c]

What a treasure...the fragilite of Cleopatra, the naivete of Mignon, the amorous exaltation of Daphne and Gretchen's excitement. Aetherischen Toene!!

[@LABARITONESSA]

CHE RECITAL MERAVIGLIOSO! CHE POTENZA LA PRICE! UNA RESISTENZA VOCALE INCREDIBILE GRAZIE ALLA SUA TECNICA PRODIGIOSA! LA ADORO!

[@chrisholley2811]

Beautiful, lovely.

Thank you for your grace and footprints in our hearts!

[@dantewalston2755]

vocal perfection!

[@rogerdodger8349]

Wonderful recital.

[@deev3282]

Stunning recital. I enjoy it all, but confess to have fallen in love the Strauss "Wasserrose". Such splendid singing.

[@carlfigueiredo2095]

Absolutely wonderful recital by the divine Price! What a programme! And let's not forget the brilliant David Garvey! Thanks so much for posting.

[@franzitaduz]

There are no words......

[@jamesbryant5130]

Brava!!! Brava!! There will never be another one like her!

[@sryoung8219]

Timeless genius! Ride on, Miss Price!

[@jerryarispi4031]

Glorious

[@wewper]

Great program but if I'm being honest the best part of any Price recital is the encores! It's also when the audience goes wild. It's always the same handful of numbers, but who cares. Thanks for this!

[@classical.pianist]

Just helps me transcend this unruly earth...

[@arnoldamaral7406]

9:25 HOW I LOVE THIS PIECE. DAME JANET BAKER SANG THIS SO BEAUTIFULLY AS WELL.. I LOVE BOTH RENDITIONS. POOR GRETCHEN AT THE SPINNING WHEEL. YOU GOT TO LOVE IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD MADAME PRICE SING IT. I JUST LOVE HER. WE SAW HER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1975 IN CONCERT RECITAL. SHE SANG FOR 2 HOURS. MY WIFE & I HAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEAUTIFUL PRIMAL VOICE SO FULL OF COLOR & POWERFUL. SHE PERFORMED 4 ENCORES. THANK YOU FOR POSTING. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

What can one say? An American Treasure.

[@lukasmiller486]

That arrangement of “This Little Light of Mine” sounds like Claude Debussy.

[@palashvictor]

😮

[@martinskamletz8619]

Do you also have the group of American songs that was on the program between Duparc and the Spirituals? Or has it not been sung in the end?

[@martinskamletz8619]

@@liedersanger1 You mean left off already in the concert or left off in the upload?

[@liedersanger1]

I heard those American songs from this recital on a BBC broadcast in 1978, broken out separately as a group, so she definitely sang them, but Im not sure if they were included in the Austrian radio broadcast, which this seems to be. Perhaps the poster would answer! ;-)

[@martinskamletz8619]

@@liedersanger1 Thank you David, this is enlightening! I keep looking for the recording of the Lee Hoiby song (The River-Merchant's Wife: A Letter).

[@liedersanger1]

That's the one I remember of that group too. Too bad RCA wasn't interested in recording her recital rep.
