Customer Reviews of The Essential Leontyne Price
BEAUTIFUL,.....and PRICELESS...... Here we have one of the most luxuriously presented, and carefully laid out, documentaries of a great, great, artist. A great lady. A great American. A true "citizen of the world". And, certainly, a great giver of joy and pleasure from her marvellous singing, on and off the stage, and her recorded documentation of it, also. <
> <
>May I say here to you, Ms. Price "God Bless you, and Thank You, Forever from My Heart, for what you have given us. You are Greatly Loved, not just by me, but the Whole World, and Most Fittingly." <
> <
>---- <
>The Review: <
> <
>This generous, lovely packaged 11 Disc overview of Ms. Price's career is simply beyond compare. I, in my long "love affair" with LP's, and CD's, have never seen such a wealth of material placed in one box! It simply must be held in your hands, listened to, and the beautifully bound hard cover book included just finishes icing the cake. BMG, you are to be greatly thanked and congratulated on producing this beautiful "gift to us, from Leontyne". <
> <
>Here is as near a complete collection as we are ever going to get, or need, of Leontyne's recordings. From selections from her complete opera recordings, to the arias and songs that she recorded over the course of her marvelous 30+ year career. It would turn into a "book" here if I commented individually on the included works, so I will refrain, and, instead, send you back to the notated list of arias/etc. mentioned above, with short clips to listen to. <
> <
>Sadly, this wonderful box has been allowed to go out of print, perhaps to return under the Sony/BMG partnership(?). I will say this...I currently see here used sets at $399, and new ones for $499. This is a very steep price, but, at $35-$45 per disc, and the wonderful book, all in a "leatherette"-type packaging I would not consider it outrageous for die-hard Leontyne Price fans like myself as this MIGHT NOT be reissued...who knows, today, what goes on with oop stuff? All you need is one "director" someplace high up in the company, and if he/she feels it will not "sell" enough, then NO GO on a reissue, that's for sure. One could also check other venues for new/used recordings, too. <
> <
>But, regardless, this, truly, is one of the greatest presentations of an artist's work that I have seen. It is fitting that BMG produced this beautiful package honoring Leontyne Price, and pleasing us so much in the process. My Higest Recommendation, both to the quality of presentation here, and also to the quality of the recordings, and the endearing, everlasting greatness of Ms. Price's art. There has never been a more flexible, exciting, voice as hers. How thankful we are to have experienced this lovely lady's gifts to the world. ~operabruin
A Long Time Coming...
This compilation of Ms. Price's career is almost as complete as anything I've ever come across!!

>An American Icon....I will forever be a loyal fan and admirer!!
Her Best Album
Along with the equally extensive "Prima Donna Collection" this is Leontyne Price's best album. Anyone who wants to become familiarized with her vocal technique and her art on record should own this album. It features her best work ever recorded. A lot of these arias and their respective soprano roles were not roles she sang on stage. Leontyne Price was not only a consummate artist, but a cautious one. The reason these arias, Lieder, Gospel and spirituals sound so beautiful and technically brilliant is because Leontyne was smart enough to sing them infrequently and in concert form. She did not take on new roles other than her repetitive Aidas, Leonoras, Butterfly, Toscas and Madame Lidoins, etc, because she was afraid of ruining her glorious voice too soon as many of her contemporary sopranos. Like soprano Zinka Milanov, Leontyne Price preserved the freshness and vitality of her voice through "operatic abstinence". Thus, the Norma, Salome, Manon, Lady Macbeth and even Traviata we hear on this album are well-rendered because she did NOT sing them on stage. She would have worn out her beautiful voice if she sung so many roles.

>This collection is overwhelming. Leontyne Price proves herself to be a masterful artist of diverse repertoire. Pity she didn't really sing these on stage because she would have put Maria Callas and all the reigning divas before and after her to shame. Listen to her remarkable, unsurpassed Mozart repertoire. This she did sing in opera houses, probably because Mozart does not require a true lyrico-spinto heavyness and smaller opera houses can accomodate Mozartian voices that do not often rise above the staff/orchestra. She sang exquisite Fiordiligis at the Met. The arias from Cosi Fan Tutte here - Soave sia il vento, O Guarda Sorelle and the fiendishly difficult vocal showcase "Come Scoglio" with its vertiginious scales are all fine samples of Miss Price's artistry. She sang Susanna and Donna Anna with beauty and bravura. The Salome excerpt is quite thrilling. She would have made a terrific Salome but the role is quite difficult and it would have surely killed her voice. Leontyne Price was the number one Verdi soprano. Every opera cognoscente will tell you that. When you hear the excerpts from Verdi operas here - Lady Macbeth's Sleepwalking Scene, Aida's arias, Leonora's arias from Trovatore and Leonora's arias from Forza Del Destino, particularly La Virgine Del Angeli and the ravishing Pace Pace Mio Dio- are the best renditions of Verdi soprano singing. Anyone who wants to study how to sing in the letter-to-letter Verdi lyrico spinto style should hear these arias. A voice like Leontyne cannot be easily imitated. Maria Callas's own voice can be imitated as Romanian diva Angela Gheorghiu has proven. Leontyne was in a class of her own, a voice that is both dramatic and beautiful to hear. However, most people find fault in her lack of dramatic interpretation. I say they're not hearing hard enough. Yes, there is excessive beauty in her singing but she understood that the opera heroines should sound beautiful because they are beautiful and though I never saw her on stage, from the recordings I hear she sounds dramatic and character-driven enough for me to be satisfied. For a devoted fan of Leontyne Price, this album is the Holy Grail. She sings the most beautiful Norma, Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Aida, Violetta, Madame Lidoin, Suor Angelica, Susanna, Dona Ana, Gilda, Fiordiligi, Desdemona and countless other heroines. The last cd is a collection of Gospel, spirituals and patriotic songs. These "American", non-opera selections find her in beautiful voice and she is actually paying tribute to her roots. She was not only African-American, but a Southerner from Mississippi. Her voice must have been heavenly to hear in Church! This is the album that made me love Leontyne.
