- Leontyne Price performs for the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1982, 43 years after they denied Marian Anderson use of Constitution Hall. Miss Price dedicates her performance to Miss Anderson as only she can.
You could see the tears well-up in her eyes, no doubt thinking about the great injustice done to Ms. Anderson. Ms. Price will always be a shining example of a true American patriot. She's a national treasure.
Elegance, grace, poise, beauty and astounding power and control all served to cement Price as a National treasure! I can never get enough of this anointed woman! Thank you for sharing this clip!
She is the greatest American operatic soprano and the most beautiful voice I ever heard on stage. Bravissima!
I agree. Price had the most sensuously beautiful voice I've ever heard. Although I was overwhelmed when I heard Caballe. To me, she had the greatest instrument, and hers was (even 44 years later) the greatest singing I've ever heard. But one could bask in the sound of Leontyne's voice.
you can literally hear the spin in her voice
Miss Price’s vocal technique was impeccable. She also knew how to take care of her voice, and sang off her “vocal interest” and not her “vocal capital.”
Madame Price is so regal & true. It's the most beautiful voice to come from America. We saw her in concert in 1976 & my wife & I could not believe our ears. And let's just say the rest is history. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral P.S. ONE PLANET ONE PEOPLE 🌍🌹👑📖🙏🎹
Leontyne Price is a Divine Gift to humanity
I can't help but to cry tears of gratitude for the victory of great American spirit of Ms. Price, ms. Anderson and the DAR daughters who righted their mothers wrong! God bless and preserve America.
Ms. Price so did the right thing. Unfortunate that the first part the aria was cut.
I love at around 2:10 mark she scans the audience while singing. A True Artist!
She will always be Prima Donna Assoluta! I had heard her sing this many times, but never in this performance. She sounded no less than astounding! Brava!!!!!
A glorious instrument. These is just no thing sweeter! Brava
Fantastic voice! She mentioned that Marian Anderson was a fantastic american. Yes she was.
I get choked up every time I watch this video.
Literally feel this in my BONESSSS MERCY!!!!!!!!!! THE CHILLS!!!!
CLASSIC!!!!
Indeed!
Happy 91st Life Anniversary - Saturday, February 10, 2018
Grand Opera Soprano Queen Leontyne Price
And She Shall Reign Forever & Ever!
the speech was gold
This must be the only video on CZcams with Zero dislikes.
I doubt that any of those DAR hicks and rubes could even begin to appreciate the talents and brilliance of Leontyne Price. None of them were worthy to kiss the hem of her gown.
Literally cringing at the confederate flag in the background
Now, now. Marian Anderson would not have approved of such hate speech. And the DAR aren’t the same women who blocked her 40+ years earlier.
Powerful, for more reasons than words can say. I thank the gift giver; Jehovah God🔥🔥🔥❤️
Simply divine!
Best ever !!!!
Callas and her are the best singers of all times !!!!
What a perfected art, personified. Thank you, Ms. Leontyne Price.
Leontyne sure adores and love Lady Marian Anderson. It was an honor to be in Marian Anderson grace she mentions
It simply couldn't get any greater than this moment in both musical and social history.
Just…wow.
The Queen. That breath control ... unmatched and flowing like pure gold.
Bravo! One of the best sopranos ever!
Happy Birthday, #LeontynePrice95! 🌹🌹🌹
What an artist. What a woman! Some 20 years after her triumphant Met debut and the voice is still truly magnificent.
BRAVO MS PRICE...PRICELESSSSSS
I heard her sing this aria live in recital in Boston in 1986. She had us!
Good Lord 💎🙏
Omgggggg, breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Diva!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Lady in the back expression looks like ,why couldn't that be me.😐😊💖⚘
The Prima Donna Assoluta said it well regarding Ms. Anderson, who was another with an anointed voice of the Highest Class!
Superb!
Incomparable
Adoro la Price ma in questo pezzo non è incomparabile,ascolti la Tebaldi ,la Callas la Caballe,la Freni e poi ne parliamo!
There's a lot of voice there...
Brava! Ben detto anche!!
Does anyone have Leontyne Price, Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic in sept 1982 for which she won an emmy?
Unsurpassed!
Woooooooow :O
Would someone be so kind as to enlighten me the name of this aria? I would love to hear Ms. Price sing this glorious piece in its entirety.
"Ecco, respiro appena...Io sono l'umile ancella" from Adriana Lecouvreur (Cilea).
cjordan99 All of the thank yous to you!!! 😊😊😊
cjordan99 she never really did the role on stage I don't think. But she can sing it and bring it home like only Madame Price can do so Regal so beautiful and she's 55 years old sure they know her now shame on them for denying Marian Anderson to perform. I'm so glad Madame Price
conducts herself like A GREAT LADY And that voice speaks for itself all the performances on CZcams or listening to her on a CD Opera do not do her justice. Because once you see her live that VOICE just freaks you out it's so primal that color so beautiful the best VOICE
to come out of the United States. And the way she speaks so dignified a GREAT LADY.👑 I had the privilege OF SEEING HER TWICE IN concert recital 1975 and 1985. In 1975
my wife and I had been married for 1 year we had not been to many operas prior to this concert. But we never heard anything like it.It was sold out a great experience she sang for 2 hours. And did 4 encores. Thank you for posting this again I just added it to her playlist I have over 80 performances of this great lady.My
wife and I will never forget the first time we saw her and heard her sing saw her again in 1985 after she had retired from the Operatic Stage @ The Metropolitan Opera final performance. She still sounded great at 57 years old. Enjoy she's one of a kind. I felt that it was a great privilege to be in her presence INDEED 👑. The 1985 concert recital PERFORMANCE was SRO sold out in 2 days & it was @ the same beautiful concert hall that we first heard MADAME PRICE in 1975 with incredible acoustics. 1985 when she sang that beautiful Puccini Aria from Madame Butterfly I quickly stood up and applauded saying very loudly BRAVA. BRAVA. everyone else followed suit Madame Price turned around and acknowledged me with a nod. I looked at my wife and she was teary-eyed a moment I'll never forget. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral 🙏👴🌿🌎🌍🌏
If ever a group of people did NOT deserve something glorious, it was THIS group. She should have dedicated it to Marian Anderson, and then left. Right out the FRONT door! Alas, she has too much “class” for that.
La plus belle voix noire d’Amérique, et certainement du monde, chante pour un public terriblement blanc…
Daughters of the American Revolution concert in Missisippy, with not one Black person in the audience?
Renata Tebaldi is the reference for this aria.
She was such a great singer.
What a glorious voice she had!
