Description
[Gramophone Hall of Fame]: LEONTYNE PRICE: “possessor of one of the most glorious voices of our time, Price was one of the first black singers to scale the heights of international opera. The bulk of her great roles were captured on disc … Without doubt Leontyne’s glorious voice should be included in Gramophone’s Hall of Fame … one of the greatest vocal talents of the past 70 years. The fact that Karajan admired and engaged her is confirmation that she was special … her vocal gift is simply God-given; that, along with her impressive looks, make for a stunning artist.”
