One of my favorite vocalists, the incomparable Leontyne Price. I only heard her at the end of her career, and the voice was glorious. This early recording captures well the gleaming beauty of her instrument.

There are singers... and then there are legends.

G. Handel: Atalanta, opera, HWV 35:

Act I: Care selve

Leontyne Price (sop)

Francesco Molinari-Pradelli (conducting)

RCA Red Seal

Lyrics

Care selve, ombre beate,
vengo in traccia del mio cor!

Beloved forests, joyous shadows:
I come in search of my heart.
