Editorial Reviews

Since Price's retirement from the stage, there has been no really fine Verdi soprano to take her place: If you want proof, listen to the first of these two CDs and hear her Aida, her two Leonoras, her Elvira, and her Amelia--no-one has come near her sense of line, phrasing, control, and the utter loveliness of her sound. The second CD finds her as Butterfly (a bit gross for my taste), Fiordiligi (ditto--and she misreads or mis-sings Mozart's instructions in the long roulade up to and past the high C), Manon Lescaut (beautiful but dumb), Donna Anna (fine), Liu (gorgeous), Ariadne (a knockout), Cleopatra (sui generis), Tosca (blah but elegant), and Poulenc's Madame Lidoine (imperious). A mixed bag, but that Verdi stuff is dynamite. --Robert Levine.

BestVerdian soprano ever!.......1998-10-12
It is impossible for a passionate Verdi listener not to match the music of Aida,Leonora(1and2),Amelia with the incomparable voice of Leontyne Price.When trying to explain the meaning of the verdian"canto spiegato"it is sufficient to play one of the tracks of this marvellous CD!But also in her Puccini (Tosca) and Mozart(Donna Anna) roles miss Price brings in a freshness, an authority ,which makes also this listening sessions a thrilling experience .
