The most beautiful voice ever at the height of her voice. OMG
I was there! OMG I will never forget that day! Five of us music students from FSU had driven up to hear her concert. After the concert we went to the backstage entrance and I sent her a note asking to meet her pointing out that I had just won the Metropolitan Opera Regional auditions and she graciously received all five of us and someone in our group took pictures (which I have never seen. If anyone has them, please let me know!) She signed my program and I asked her if she practiced every day. She said, “If you don’t practice one day, you can tell; if you don’t practice two days, the audience can tell.” My favorite soprano in so many roles. Her Aida continues to be her legendary role. God bless Miss Leontyne Price for her great and exemplary role as a singer and as an American.
I was at this concert.
She wore a fabulous turquoise gown all smothered in feathers.
The old Atlanta Municipal Auditorium. Henry Sopkin conducted.
It was sublime. Forever memories !!
She could sing damn well everything. Beyond words. Legend.
She always began with an eighteenth-century piece to "line up the voice."
Glorious voice. Touches my soul. Loved her since I first heard her at 10 years old. Best thing that ever came out of Mississippi ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely beautiful, Miss Price at her best!
Listening to a voice as gorgeous as this has to be amazing for my health.
FLAWLESS ARTISTRY and MUSICIANSHIP UNMATCHED!!!
Miss Price is a true legend. She is now 96 years old and lives in Maryland close to her brother and his family.
A fellow Mississippian who inspired my own opera career her voice will live eternally
Along with Joan Sutherland, she's the greatest singer of the Century!
The sheer glory of Price's voice is so thrilling! There are so many wondrous aspects of her brilliant vocal artistry on display: deep emotion, sensuality, nobility, frailty and the pure joy of singing! Bravissima!
Thank you for posting this treasure.
Pure class
Fabulous! Thank you!
This concert is legendary, as it's rumored that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was in the audience.
Afraid that does not make it legendary. I imagine he was there 'cause she be black.
@@josephcollins6033 that makes it legendary.
@@Reikyellah Nope. She is a racist pig as was he. Only he was dangerous.
@@josephcollins6033 lol please kindly explain to me how either of these people were racist. A man trying to fight for equality in the 1960s & a woman fighting for more opportunities for people that looked like her in the operatic world. Please explain.
@@Reikyellah He was a violent, killer racist who hid behind religion and through his violence and ignorance tried to put his race above all others when his race needs to be back in the jungle: that is their climate; they are good at chasing round things and running from tigers; they are very good at jumping around and taking things quickly; their skin color and thickness suits that climate; they are extremely violent and have thick bones; they also have not evolved on the same branch as others; it is most unfair to them to be here; and, in the jungle they don't have to use consonants. She is a racist with a chip on her shoulder the size of Mt.Everest. I don't have time for more; you don't understand what racism is.

Who the blank was coughing during the end of “Depuis le jour”?!?!!! 🤬

Il semble que ce soit celui qui enregistre ce trésor, alors… soyons indulgents 😉
