Leontyne Price Carlo Bergonzi Anselmo Colzani Irene Dalis Aida (1960 live, full opera)

Wow! Thank you for sharing this and reminding us all of how far operatic singing has fallen! What an electryfing performance. We can hear and feel the energy and how all of the principals are feeding off of it and each other. Leontyne is simply Leontyne! So enjoyable to hear her when the voice was at its freshest and strongest, allowing her to perform with complete abandon. That last descending "o patria mia" in the cadenza is a singing lesson in style and legato for the ages. Surprisingly, Rudel proves a very fine conductor and only slightly disappoints in the Nile scene duet with Aida and Rhadames, which is too slow. I cannot recall a finer performance of Aida! All of the principals are simply magnificent! Thank you, again, for sharing this!!!!
