About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

In this age of vocal specialization, it's difficult to imagine who will take up the mantle of the old-school divas who jumped headlong into any role that could increase their renown. Leontyne Price embodies the notion of the glorious prima donna who made her name interpreting the Olympian roles of the Italian repertory. Back in the 1950s and '60s, a soprano without some combination of Tosca, Butterfly, or Aïda under her belt was considered second rate. Each of these roles is in evidence on this record (popularly known as "The Blue Album" because of its original cover design). Price throws herself into these arias from "Aída," "Il Trovatore," "Turandot," and other favorite operas with tremendous vigor. And while she occasionally sacrifices vocal beauty for dramatic ferocity, the performances are invariably compelling. Matt Dobkin, Barnes & Noble
