This was suggested as an idea for a contest. I didn't feel as though I had enough videos for a contest. But I was immediately taken with the idea of this selection, "La vergine" from La Forza. This has always been one of my favorite moments in the opera, such a beautiful piece of music.

Price interprets 'Care Selve' from Handel's opera "Atalanta". This aria is the very first aria she sings at the recital and her voice is literally perfect. This debut recital was Feb. 28, 1965 at Carnegie Hall. If you don't appreciate the quality of her voice in this recording then you really should learn more about opera...

Ihope everyone enjoys these postings. I have tried to put together a small sampling of videos that represent the best of Verdi and the best of the soprano voice. As with any Verdi music the aria is difficult in its own way. Aida is a part that has many facets, beautiful and devious as they are. 1-5 for Singing/Characterization: Galina Kalinina - 1989 Leyla Gencer - 1963 Sharon Sweet - 1990 Birgit Nilsson - 1964 Orianna Santunione - 1973 Leona Mitchell - 1995 Maria Guleghina - 1998 Aprile Millo - 1992 Daniela Dessi - 2000 Galina Gorchakova - 1995 Herva Nelli - 1949 Gilda Cruz-Romo - 1977 (sorry for the poor audio) Violeta Urmana - 2006 Mirella Freni - 1987 Renata Tebaldi - 1959 Gabriella Tucci - 1961 Leontyne Price - 1985
