David Perkins: Both Leontyne Price and Anna Moffo had signed to RCA and it’s sad that either didn’t record the role instead of Renata Tebaldi who had already recorded the role on her ‘her’ label, Decca.
@@johnpickford4222I don’t know for sure why that decision was made. But the Nilsson-Bjoerling-Tebaldi recording was made in 1959 and Leontyne had not yet sung Liu. She did so for the first time that fall in Chicago. And Moffo did not sing Liu at the Met until 1961.
@@matOpera i frequent a lot of operatic content on youtube as being an operatic tenor myself and consider you to be right up there with some of the best! shame that Di Stefano 1955 Forza aria got copyright striked, would love to hear it!
@@AlainArvelo Thank you! I would highly recommend di Stefano’s 1955 live rendition of “La vita è inferno” from La Scala, which is on CZcams already. I think it’s his best rendition, even more inspired than the (excellent) studio version. I’ve never heard anyone sing the aria with more abandon. I wish you all the best with your operatic career!
EXCELLENT!
What a gift to us. Thank you so much.
Awesome!
Amazing!! Thank you!
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you - 1961 - fantastic sound! Great artists!
Pradelli che dire sublime
una come la Price che poteva fare benissimo Turandot umilmente canta Liu'...e come.......cast da brividi
Thank you for this wonderful recording, and for the great work you've done to enhance and enrich the sound quality. What a cast!
I don’t know what Leontyne Price’s “only Liu” could mean. She sang the role in San Francisco, in Chicago, and in New York, as well as in Vienna.
I believe this is her only recording in the role.

This is not her only Liù.
I believe her only recorded (live?) Liù.
