Blurb:
THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF OPERATIC RECITAL ALBUMS brings together for the first time all the recital and duet albums Leontyne Price has recorded between 1960 and 1982. Starting with her operatic debut with arias, LP LSC-2506, recorded 1960, it features not only her legendary Great Scenes from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess but also the famous complete Prima Donna collection consisting of five volumes released between 1966 and 1980 as well
as her 1982 concert at the Met with Marilyn Horne.

“The power and sensuousness of Leontyne’s voice are phenomenal – the most beautiful Verdi soprano I have ever heard.” Plácido Domingo
“Man, I love her as an artist. I love the way she sings Tosca… I might not do Tosca, but I loved the way Leontyne did it.” Miles Davis
