Awards and reviews
September 2004
Aida dominates the Leontyne Price portrait disc, for half is given over to a Canadian telecast of the opera's third act made in 1958… The filming is stilted… but her 'O patria mia' is deeply moving. A 1982 Montreal concert catches the diva towards the end of her career, singing a range of arias.
