Info for Verdi & Puccini: Arias - Leontyne Price
Known by connoisseurs as the legendary 'Blue Album', this historic gem released in 1961 was Leontyne Price's debut orchestral recording for RCA. It offers some of her most shining moments from the composers whom she calls 'her best friends, operatically speaking.'
Leontyne Price performing arias from Il Trovatore, Madama Butterfly, La Rondine, Tosca and Turandot.
The album captured her at the beginning of her career when her voice was so fresh, creamy and powerful. This wonderful recital presents the majestic artistry and magnificent voice of one of the 20th century's most beloved sopranos. Leontyne Price demonstrates on this album why she dominated Verdi spinto singing during her prime and also demonstrates her excellence in Puccini roles. Price has a dark, rich voice with an amazing upper register. Her high notes are among the most secure and beautiful on records. Her version of 'Ritorna Vincitor!' is fabulous and ranks with the best out there. Her 'O Patria Mia' is truly in a class by itself.
