About

Celebrating one of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century, the American prima donna assoluta Leontyne Price. A collection of 10 of her best opera recordings in a limited remastered edition. 19 of the 22 CDs newly remastered in 2016 from the original analogue tapes using 24 bit / 96 kHz technology. New essay by renowned German critic Jürgen Kesting. She has repeatedly been called the supreme Verdi soprano of her time, even of the entire 20th century. As she approaches her 90th birthday in early 2017, Sony Classical takes pride in saluting the prima donna assoluta Leontyne Price with a new reissue of ten complete opera recordings from this great American artist’s matchless discography.
