Strauss: Four Last Songs [Leontyne Price]

Strauss: Vier letzte Lieder /// Leontyne Price, soprano /// Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner

[@lundilar]

I don't t know or care if some other soprano sings this better; all I know is that the voice of Leontyne Price speaks to me, in that it connects to the deepest part of my soul, as she transports me to the artistic orbit of Richard Strauss. Long will you reign in the hearts of us who will forever love you.

Exactly. Transporting. That is the word

Comparto plenamente vuestro comentario. En Im Adembrot me hizo llorar

My soul soars with sadness and joy

Leontyne Price sings exquisitely here.

[@grahammorgan3858]

This is singing that very few of the many great sopranos of the stereo recording age can match. Simply superb.❤

All is luxury! Voice! Music, and such music! And obviously that dress and that hairstyle!!!

[@carlfigueiredo2095]

So many beautiful colours and so much emotion pouring out of one of the most glorious voices of the 20th century. What an artist! Thank you for posting.

Her voice is so wonderful in this! Leinsdorf beautifully accompanies and interprets! A great duo! I love the Vier Letzte Lieder!

[@diogenesmenotti2169]

Sublimes las canciones, hermosa la orquesta y ¿qué podemos decir de Leontyne? ¡¡¡Unica!!!

Happy 95th Anniversary Of Life February 10, 2022 Her Royal Highness, Queen Leontyne Price Grandest Of Them All!

Is this with Reiner or Leinsdorf?

[@geoffreybellah4065]

It’s Leinsdorf and the New Philharmonia, not Reiner with the Chicago.

[@ferguszade5594]

Such a pity that is the case. Luxury versus budget.

[@liedersanger1]

Correct: Leinsdorf, New Philharmonia

[@CarldeFigueiredo-lf2gc]

The Philharmonia is one of the world's greatest orchestras, equal to Chicago anyday.
