The art of the great American soprano Leontyne Price is displayed in a terrific performance by the Metropolitan Opera of Verdi's "La Forza del Destino" . . . With a youthful-looking James Levine igniting orchestral sizzle, the performance evokes both thrill and regret at the passing of a style and a star . . . As this performance reminds, since Price's retirement from the opera stage in 1985 there hasn't been a Verdi soprano of her caliber. She's regal and touching as Leonora, focused on projecting character without a trace of diva posturing. Record Review / Peter M. Knapp, The Patriot Ledger / 01. August 2006
