5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any opera lover!, May 14, 2004

This review is from: Great Stars of Opera, Vol. 2 - Telecasts from the Bell Telephone Hour 1959-1967 (DVD)

These two DVD's are happy in my collection and are essential to anyone who were lucky enough to see some of these wonderful programs in their living rooms on television. I certainly miss programs as wonderful as these. If you are old enough to remember these singers you have to have these DVD's (volume 1 and 2) if not, you need to have them to see and hear the singers that older people refer to in conversation and in print. All the singers are fun to see and hear again the these are true treasures for any opera lover. Price is priceless! Each performance is a jewel to keep entertaining far into the future.
A definite buy!

Truly a magnificent find for me. The uncomparable Leontyne Price proves over and over that she is, "first among her her peers", a real diva. I'm not surprised she received an unrivaled 42 minute standing ovation at the Met. This record still stands today.

I heard her in person in the 80's in Tennessee and was overwhelmed beyond belief. I waited in line for her autograph and went back several times for additional ones.

Had Leontyne Price not been included (and there was no way possible she could have been excluded) in this dvd I would not have made this purchase. I must add; however, the other sopranos were good and am pleased.

Franco Corelli was magnificent as usual and never a disappointment; Nicolai Gedda, Georgio Tozzi, Richard Tucker and Robert Merrill were fantastic. Also George London, whom I had no knowledge, was good.

Must close but not without saying that I wish Leontyne Price well for she is a true American Treasure.

This is a treasure that I've found that I can't do without. Price was the star here. But check out an even better find...
