Seamless Flawless seamlessness

[@emimosco]

Splendida. Perfetta. Da prendere ad esempio da parte di tanti soprani di oggi. Brava, brava, brava, bravissima.

[@Ursaminor31]

The last ‘voce’she sings is pure divinity at 3:54

[@Barabanych]

I can't believe what I've heard. People don't sing like that anymore. My favorite, Caballe couldn't be better. I heard Price many years ago in a historic stage of Don Carlo with Domingo, Obrazcova and Nesterenko, Zeffirelli I think was a director. She was completely ill with flu and still sang like a healthy singer wouldn't even think of singing. It showed on TV in USSR and for a few days there was talk of nothing else but her singing. Thanks for posting. Fantastic!!!

[@raphaelpisano5462]

The staging for this 1977 La Scala production was by Luca Ronconi, not Zeffirelli :)

[@yww7938]

The best version I've ever heard.

[@Bobrogers99]

Margaret Price was one of my late mother's favorites - and for good reason.

[@callastoujours]

What a beautiful aria and what a superb interpretation!!!! BRAVA!

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

I was actually there that Day!!! I was a young teenager and I was very new to Opera and went up to the city with my Grandma Elvira to see the "real" Opera singers!! I love Margaret Price.....she had a FANTASTIC style of singing! She REALLY was true to the words in this particular aria! She sang the music the way the COMPOSER intended.....nothing more nothing less!

[@phil2u48]

+george prentice That must have been a wonderful experience for you, and a great memory. She lives now only in memory... and in recordings. We are fortunate to have this one. She loved San Francisco and its people, but found flying somewhat painful and difficult. She eventually retired to the country with her dogs, but delighted in receiving friends.

[@judyjones2475]

Montserrat caballe did the same ,sang as the composer wrote ,please listen to the opera or excerpts on you tube 🥰

[@Tenortalker]

I am so happy to see people remembering Margaret Price here. A truly wonderful soprano . Alas memories are short and time marches on , but hopefully these recordings will continue to secure her legacy. What touches me even more is to see how beautiful and happy she looked here.

[@stephenwijnants2152]

splendid, really splendid and sounding so easy. All notes so full, no cracks in the registers. Probably among the best Adriennas.

[@blauauge2]

the most beautiful version of this aria ! thank you margaret !

[@armandonazarenocerutti9860]

Excelente versión ¡¡¡ MARAVILLOSA INTÉRPRETE !!! Armando Cerutti - barítono

[@guido2877]

Perfetta. Non c'è altro da dire. E' così che si canta!

[@pawdaw]

Most singers will tell you this aria is very hard- especially the octave jumps at the end. She makes it all sound so easy! One of the loveliest versions of I've ever heard of this aria. I'd be standing and cheering as well.

[@LeeKatherine20]

Simply Astounding. . . .

[@alexgomez2]

She was JUST wonderful. There are many great Sopranos but her demeanor and the beauty of her voice were JUST WONDERFUL.

[@yww7938]

Her voice is so amazing that it is rich as well as soft. It's perfect for this aria.

[@Altonahh10]

After 10 seconds it is clear how wonderful Price handles this aria. The richness of her sound, her intonation, her dramatic effect. Simply wonderful

[@Wolfiewolfgang2]

We are in danger of forgetting just how incomparable Margret Price is - she can out do all other sopranos in her pianissimo control in this piece whilst still convincing us with a huge sound. She can be both ethereal and sensuous at the same time.

[@Ursaminor31]

Ethereal sensual seamlessness

[@MariaCaIIas]

for sheer beauty of voice she was unmatched

[@guydupays8558]

Thank you so much Margaret Price; I kept a wonderful memory of the Requiem from Verdi you sang with La Scala de Milan in the Champs-Elysées theatre in Paris

[@mabemawi]

The Ultimate Voice, The Ultimate Technique, The Ultimate Interpretation. WOW!!!

Just Lovely! Creamy, beautiful soprano, who obviously made a tremendous impression on the huge audience. She looks and sounds radiant! I also enjoyed the casual atmosphere of the proceedings. Maestro Adler looks so cute! The half-dressed guys in the crowd... err, not so much! Thanks for posting!

[@numetutelare]

Una mozartiana prestata al verismo... una vera perla rara.

[@StoneCrusherJermz]

It's the piano and pianissimo that do it. Comparable to Caballe and the other Pearl of great Price.

[@Ursaminor31]

This is the sheerest hand woven silk velvet ever vocally speaking

[@OlgaKaminska19]

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAVAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

[@rubyedelman]

Sorry to hear that the announcer did not know that the opera is by Cilea and not Rossini........

[@maury0009]

ruby edelman he actually said, while she was leaving, she was going to come on stage again and sing another piece, by Rossini...

[@terrance7220]

Shes very endearing.

[@sachseco]

Far better than renata tebaldi!

[@FoggyRoad81]

I dont think she records well, but man is she incredible in this music.

[@adris2604]

I pianissimi del finale sono eseguiti con una tecnica PAZZESCA! Una voce così grande, bella e perfettamente calibrata sui pianissimi, c'è tanto da imparare da questa grande soprano

[@BalletBabyBoy]

DIVINE!
