MA.. chi giunge??!!! Every time a car pulls up to my house, I start on that... and “Maledizione” whoever comes to my door. Then open the door and it’s usually just friends or family 🤗😁

Perhaps the most beautiful true words yet. Thant you.

Yes I agree

She is still singing at 92!

Dragan Vidic Very smart LADY indeed. She said lyric Spinto . She knew her limitations smart LADY ! 🙏💜🌍🌎🌏🎹🎶🎵

Dragan Vidic sorry not an opera expert here. What do you mean by her considering herself a lyric soprano she preserved her voice?

Yosvani Ramos by thinking “smaller” than her actual vocal size, she preserved the instrument for much longer than most singers (even w/good technique most operatic voices only last about three decades). By saying I’m “I’m a lyric soprano” she ideally never “pushed” her voice to its fullest capacity, thus giving her more years with her voice. Most singers get bored/move up from the lyric repertoire that they’ve been singing for the first 10-20 yrs of their career to gain their bearings, for more larger (dramatic) rep. that REQUIRES you to push your voice. She sang the same 10-12 roles her whole career. And recorded each more than once

Agreed, she sang extremely well in recitals WAY beyond her retirement from the operatic stage. I would venture that she even sang better from vocal rest than in some of her later fully staged performances, such as here. Yet, she did have some trouble (noted here) because, I speculate, she started singing into her resonances to make her sound bigger and wider, whereas her greatness had always been in her earlier, narrow and laser focused placement. It is still present here sometimes above the staff. But the raspy ending (and other places in between) is a sign of vocal strain, rather than dramatic emphasis.

M Scott I 👂 that!! 👱💜🎶🎹🎵🎻🌍🌎🌏

And Price was 56 here.

an andy SHE WAS PASS HER PRIME BUT SHE NAILED IT ! I HAVE THE CD & LISTEN TO THE U TUBE PERFORMANCE WITH CORELLI MY FRIEND. ITS TRULY FANTASTIC!!! 🙏🎶🎹🎵🎻🌍🌎🌏😳

Yashin 74 Angela Brown comes very close. She is a huge fan of Leontyne Price.

I’ve always felt the same way lol. And I’ve heard some fantastic sopranos on this aria but I just love LP voice on this .

😂😂😂

Dana, obviously you don't understand Verdi at all neither this great Opera "La Forza del Destino and this wonderful performance ( except your comment was a joke ....)

Callas always tops it and you can understand every single word Callas sings

All I will say is this... every singer gives it their own interpretation.

4:49 ... heartbreaking...

Crazy organist in your opinion she does. Price’s voice is superlative. No one to trump this.

@@crazyorganist1609 who is talking about Callas here?

Best artist America has ever produced? No. One of them, certainly, but not THE best. No!

@@mmjhcb No disrespect, but who, in your opinion is...or is there a singular one?

@@wyadore The arts, no matter which, carry a degree of subjectivity which often makes it difficult, if not impossible, to name a GOAT; however, in the case of female classical singers, to those who truly know the art of classical singing and performance, have taught it, lived it and have heard and seen the greats, even worked with them, there IS a GOAT. I am not about to engage in useless argument by naming her. I will say, though, it ISN'T Maria Callas. On top of all this, Mr. Esposito claimed Price was "the best artist America ever produced." Artist covers many fields of endeavor, making his an even more impossible claim.

Maria Callas was born in New YorkCity-Might be America's best soprano so far...

Melissa Schroeter ''Clear,perfect,magnificent'' ?! davvero ?! ... ahahahahahahahahahahahah !

@@bodiloto Horseshit!!

Totally.

It is late in her opera career, but she continued to sing recitals for another 15 years or so and came out of retirement in 2001 to sing for a post 9/11 concert.

You ain’t kidding. It’s actually SCARY!

Brandon Burrell who's father my friend??? 💜👱🎵🎹🎶🌏🌎🌍

luanllluan LIKE BUTTER !!!

luanIIIuan best version per i sordi e gli ignoranti ....

She might have been past her summit, but her summit was so high and mighty that even here she sounds better than anyone else today in this music.

Very true & very Sad my friend beyond sadness.😞😓😪 Viva La Price La unica 💙💚👑

THIS IS OPERA !!!

B-flat. Two of them.

ANNA CLORINDA NAPOLITANO ''Pelle d' oca. Ottima interpretazione '' ?!... e cosa di ''ottimo'' c'è in questo accento poco italiano e questa vocalità degna della musica spirituale americana ?! ...

@@bodiloto Are you one of those Italian football fans who sit in the stands and makes monkey noises when black players go by?? That's what you're doing now, fucking racist!!

I wasn't there, but I was watching it televised live on PBS. She was remarkable! Brava!!!!

It's like the best Master Class at Julliard. You just don't get better than this. My goosebumps get goosebumps. I was fortunate to see her in recital in Oscar Meyer Theater in Madison, WI in the early 90's. she sang this aria, and you could hear a [in drop. We met her afterwards for a autograph. So sweet, and a classy humble, lady.

belcantospecialist I was there. True, Price was fantastic, and the rest of the cast was very good. But this is a LONG opera with a lot of dry moments. By the time Price came out for this aria, people were falling out of their chairs already.
