5.0 out of 5 stars
a must have for your collection,
By A Customer
This review is from: Verdi: Heroines (Leontyne Price Sings Arias From Aida, Macbeth, La Traviata, Ernani, Otello, Un Ballo in Maschera, Il Trovatore, La Forza Del Destino) (Audio CD)
In this recital recording of previously recorded material we are shown why Leontyne Price is the Godess of all verdian sopranos. No one has ever or will ever match her package of talent and beauty that she entertained the world with. Everything in this compilation is simply beautiful and perfect! I own this cd even though I already own most of the box sets the arias come from. If you don't have this cd you simply MUST buy it. If you've been under an opera rock and aren't familiar with Leontyne, you will be very pleased with this cd and she'll quickly become one of your favorite sopranos. and definitely your favorite Verdian soprano
5.0 out of 5 stars
THE FINEST,
By MOVIE MAVEN (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Verdi: Heroines (Leontyne Price Sings Arias From Aida, Macbeth, La Traviata, Ernani, Otello, Un Ballo in Maschera, Il Trovatore, La Forza Del Destino) (Audio CD)
Arguably the finest Verdi soprano of our time and certainly the finest 'Aida' and 'Leonora' in "La Forza Del Destino" and "Il Trovatore," I was lucky enough to see/hear Miss Price, live at the Metropolitan Opera House and in concert at Brooklyn College. Her God-given talents combined with a passionate stage presence, handsome looks and magnetic warmth made her a unique artist--I heard once on a TV documentary that she was the most "decorated" (i.e. award-winning) musical artist of the century! This superb collection of Verdi arias include two from "Aida" which, most likely, will not ever be matched, an exquisite 'Willow Song' & 'Ave Maria' from "Otello" plus several familiar arias from "Ernani," "Trovatore," "Forza," "Traviata" and the sleepwalking scene from "Macbeth." The sound on this compilation RCA CD is fine, if not as good had it been recorded more recently than the 70's. The various conductors include Thomas Schippers and Erich Leinsdorf.

The review offerred by Amazon fails to mention the most important fact. The main performer is Leontyne Price. I can't even find the name of the other listed performers on this item. The listed conductors are 2 of 5 conductors that took part!!
