Leontyne Price Rediscovered, a recording of her 1965 Carnegie Hall recital, can be bought from amazon.com. "This live Carnegie Hall recital from 1965 catches her at the height of her powers, before all that dramatic chest voice nonsense spoiled her middle register. The program is demanding, even ludicrous -- Handel to spirituals via verismo, German and French songs, with the best singing coming in five American songs by Sam Barber and Lee Hoiby," wrote T. Hashimoto for examiner.com. |
