Truly, no soprano comes close to singing this aria as easily and as beautifully as Leontyne Price. This performance is spectacular in every way. There are multiple live performances of Price singing this aria in various stages of her career, including at age 64! They all have multiple merits! She sang this aria because she could!!
Price proves she's much much than a Verdi Soprano. Her discography is astounding in its range, and she nails it! Except for her Liebestod. But who expects Price to be an authentic Wagnerian. Leave something for Nilsson.
Oh God! Please help me with my sincere addiction to Leontyne Price. I cannot seem to stop listening to her. I will be strong and stop-no, I will submit to my aural desires and allow my spirit the pure joy of listening to La Price!
Others have said the same, but Mother Price could have made a career of simply this piece. Singing beyond reproach. Singing beyond compare. Singing beyond humanity. Simply stunning.

Superbe..what a voice for this most difficult aria by Richard Strauss a wonder Price at her height!!!!
I don't think there's another Soprano EVER that kept this in their repertoire for 4 decades!
The best live recording of Zweite Brautnacht. The sound engineers did a good job of capturing not only the Soprano but all sections of the orchestra
Only she and Rysanek took this aria to the heavens to which Strauss intended to soar….
Happy 94th Anniversary Of Life Wednesday, February 10, 2021 Our Grandest And Dearest Madame Leontyne Price
Honestly OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!

That final phrase where she glided up and down from her lower and upper register without taking a breath is perfection!
No one else
This and Leontyne Price are fantastic. I've never heard the opera. Thanks so much for posting!
BRAVO DIVA!!!!!!!!
RCA OR DECCA OR DETUSCHE GRAMOPHON SHOULD HAVE RECORDED THE WHOLE PIECE WITH HER ON STUDIO!!!
Not much else in the opera. Alas.
This is her best performance of this aria.
Astonishing
Glorious ... ...
Wonderful. Best of her recordings on You Tube in my view.
somptueux as usual.....
I love her

This could have been written for her. WOW
It was. Strauß just didn’t know it…. Smile.
