I first heard her on a Met Opera Madame Butterfly on a Saturday afternoon, on my little transister am/fm radio. I was 13. Over the years she was my favorite soprano. Her voice is unique and mezmerizing. I saw her in recital in '82 here in Albuq New Mexico...she was absolutely astounding; did every favorite aria, and i think 2 encores. I still have the program, stored in the LP set of Tosca I bought later in the 60's, with Karajan conducting. Later I bought that CD, which captures every nuance, which are hers alone. She is a LEGEND and a NATIONAL TREASURE.

When I saw the original broadcast I was shocked that she was not permitted to sing the entire aria uninterrupted. But now as I watch the performance, I realize the audience couldn't restrain their applause for Ms. Price's magnificent voice and superb artistry. Back in 1983, I applauded afterwards. Today, in my heart; I applaud Ms. Price as I listen. This great lady sang splendidly!

music royalty... She's 96 yrs old, as we speak. And thats probably a testament to how well, she's taken care of herself. She is, to my mind, the greatest soprano, who ever lived. I saw her perform in Montreal in 1982...I was 14 yrs old..there with my Aunt and Uncle, who lived in Toronto. We flew to Montreal and stayed there two days, before her performance. Seeing her live...blew my mind. It was like seeing the face of God.

@@chipbarfield62 Im also a fan of the late, great Montserrat Caballe'. And was also privileged to see her at the Kennedy Center Opera House, in my hometown Wash/DC. She was in her 40s and was VERY heavy. I hate to say this, but she struggled with her breath control and vibrato..and there was nowhere to point, besides her health not being better. I STILL listen to her early recordings, and I STILL think she brings something to Verdi and Bellini, that no other soprano does. But in contrast, you have a Leontyne Price, who even in her 70s, could go to 3 octaves with ease, with no pitch issues or desperate attempts to push thru chords she feared not being able to pull off. Im fine with realizing, we wont get another one like her. It happens sometimes...along comes that vocalist, that has a gift that is just extremely rare to so many other folks on the planet. And she is one of them.

And an incredible display of the wonders of human genetics the great mezzo pop singer Dionne Warwick is visibly sitting in the audience and so is their shared first cousin Whitney Houston. In my book there are no better singers - range, phrasing, breathing, coloring, tone, breathing - around.
@direfranchement Жыл бұрын
Leontyne is NOT a first cousin to Whitney and Dionne. They are cousins, but it is distant. To be first cousins, they would have to all be the children of siblings. While Whitney and Dionne are the children of two sisters (Lee Drinkard Warrick and Emily Drinkard Houston), Leontyne is a cousin of Cissy Houston. I would need to see a family tree to divine the closeness, but as far as I can tell, Cissy and Leontyne are not the children of two siblings, despite what Wikipedia says (without citation, mind you). Cissy's father was a Drinkard, and her mother a McCaskill. Leontyne's father was a Price, and her mother a Baker. Where they get "first" cousins for Wikipedia, I don't know.
