Thank you ever so much for posting this !!! I started to go to opera performances and recitals at that time (the mid-80s), and I clearly remember some globe-trotting opera buffs talking with great reverence about those Leontyne Price recitals they had attended in Salzburg, sort of "I feel sooo privileged to have been there !" What voice, of course, but also what artistry and what generosity in her choices for the program and in her singing !

So moving and stunningly performed.

The Price technique: Ach ich fuhl's, after thirty-plus years and hundreds of Verdi performances - remarkable.

Mark Cogley I enjoy it soooo much!!! No other Pamina could summon such a sense of death yet love with her voice at the same time!!! If it weren’t for the two scoops she does, it would be my favorite rendition ever. I lllove how she rolls the “r” on so wird rrrrruh’! And her b-flats are effortless!!!

1984 was 25th anniversary of her first and only run of Zauberflote (Pamina) at the Vienna Staatsoper.

Absolutely wonderful recital by the diva of divas! A veritable jewel-box of song! What a sensuous and dream-like quality she brings to Liszt's O Quand Je Dors, just to single out one of the precious gems. Profound thanks!

Thanks for putting this up. Means much to me. Here is the text of the Hoiby Evening: EVENING . . . Evening, when the measure skips a beat And then another, one by one and all To a seething minor swiftly modulate. Bare night is best, bare earth is best, bare, bare, Except for our own houses, huddled low Beneath the arches and their spangled air, Beneath the rhapsodies of fire and fire, Where the voice that is in us makes a true response, Where the voice that is great within us rises up, And we stand gazing at the rounded moon. Wallace Stevens (from Evening without Angels)
