What a night! I can never forget the thrill of viewing this live. Thanks for sharing this fine document of the Aida of all Aidas!

Leontyne Price - best Aida ever. Really not impressed with Mc Cracken at all - even Alagna made a better Radames. Also loved Simon Estes - my favorite Amonastro ever, ever!!!! Florenza Cosotto - great Amneris!!!! The only problem is the tenor - otherwise very enjoyable performance.

Well like him. I had the privilege of hearing him sing Manrico in Trovatore and his pitch was spot on .

My favorite Amonasro too

The "Celeste Aida" is sung a little flat from McCracken. 😢
