I do not own this video. I am asking the licensees of this concert to release the film footage of this concert for the public. If you release it, we'll buy it and we won't do this.

Leontyne Price is the QUEEN of this song!

Best rendition I've ever heard. She captures the Southern essence and expresses it with her exquisite voice, perfect technique, and through her Mississippi lived experience. Brilliant. And she looks fabulous, too. A charming woman who was born to sing and be on stage.

I mean.... she set this song up with the most Mississippi delta bluesy intonation I've ever heard. 😊 So good.

Sublime. And she’s still alive.

With all the versions of "Summertime", hers is the best....she is from the south and knows how to sing those words like a southerner. Just plain stunning!!

Bent every note possible, yall. In a classy, Mississippi delta bluesy fashion. Molasses to my south western (texas) born ears.

I am fortunate to have attended a recital by Leontyne Price in Richmond, VA in the early 1980s. With no microphone, her voice powerfully filled the entire auditorium with clear, luscious, and beautiful sound while conveying every nuance of emotion in the songs. She performed six encores and received seven well deserved standing ovations! Brava Diva Price!

What a privilege to hear this sublime voice these 55 years later!! Many thanks for sharing.

Pulling a high B natural out of the air and holding it with such arrogant ease! She sings this with such simple perfection yet still makes a tour de force out of it. No one alive can do this today. No one. They all TRY hard, but just fall short.

She's always totally awesome, sometimes less, sometimes more. She made an opera fool of me a long time ago. She sang Verdi's "Tacea la notte placida" to me. It is like yesterday. My head spun, she got me. I've never seen her live, unfortunately. Time brought other artists, but Leontyne was the first. She is the first love, and she will always be loved.

@@trilobit4 I was lucky enough to see her twice in 1977 in Il Trovatore and a recital the same year. She is also blame for my opera love. She is in her prime in this concert in Munich and she looks so cute

I heard Leontyne Price sing SUMMERTIME with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra at about this same time, Henry Lewis conducting. My father played the English horn in the orchestra, and he was a lot clearer than this player. I will never forget the performance.
