I had the greatest privilege to have worked with her as staff producer in 3 productions. I just adored her humor and down to earthiness (listen to her laugh at the beginning). Such a beautiful woman (the Tatyana video here brings tears). She had an inner sadness and loneliness which always came through in her personality - that used to make me so sad because I wished her all the joy in the world. She seemed however to find some peace once she had retired. She is an angel now!
Margaret Price lived not far from me towards the end of her life - in Trewyddel, Pembrokeshire in Wales, overlooking the ocean she loved, and with her cherished dogs. An artist of international renown, and a lovely woman.
Ich empfand gerade diese Sendung als ganz besonderes Geschenk. Was für eine großartige Sängerin Margaret Price war. Sie hat im Juli 1989, noch in der DDR, im Schauspielhaus im damaligen Ostberlin einen Liederabend mit Schubert und Schumann gegeben..unvergessen. Vielen Dank für duese wunderschöne Sendung.
Margaret Price... wirklich eine Stimme, die mich immer und mein Leben lang begleiten wird. Es ist eine völlig natürliche Begabung in dieser runden, silbrigen und melancholisch angehauchten Sopranstimme, die sich ungekünstelt für das romantische Lied-Repertoire empfohlen hat als ehrliche, sanfte Interpretin. Natürlich mochte ich sie als Opernsängerin. Aber bei Schubert, Schumann und Mahler empfand ich sie als eine Mensch gewordene, tiefgründige Stimme der Komponisten. Phantastisch.
Nice to see her happy & laughing. A divine voice, an often troubled personality. A great beauty too & proud to be Welsh, but nothing like Dame Gwynneth (Jones). Big rolls of Rs in her grammatically gut Deutsch. Diolch yn fawr!
in terms of her welsh maybe But Price was the superior artist; check out her Verdi Requiem (Abaddo), Mozart Requiem (Schrier), Beethoven Missa Solemnis (Bohm)
I must agree w you there, altho' i believe Jones has an artist's soul. Her voice is not as disciplined as Price's, true. Love both ladies tho'. Was sad to hear of Dame Margaret's death. She was v. interesting in interview.
+Michael Doyle Gwyneth could be a variable singer & started her career as a contralto.She was born a mile away from where I live in Pontnewynydd. She was not as fine a singer as Margaret Price who was born in Blackwood & I doubt either spoke fluent Welsh.Henry Webb Pontypool.
Good idea - since there is a lot of talking, it takes a lot of time to do that. Maybe someone should gather some money. I would do the translation then ;-)
I doubt that; he was naturally gifted and sure of himself. However, he was with Margaret Price, probably the nearest female singer to his own heart that he'd ever worked with. This little clip of them could have been from a different era, a hundred years earlier, even more. Neither of them could act in my opinion, but you don't go to opera for the acting!

Wow. Wieder so eine wunderbare Stimme. Schön dass man sie hier hören kann.
The sheer quality and glow in Margaret's voice! What a down-to-earth fun-loving personality she was too!
Fantastic. Just fantastic.

Yes, totally agree.
@@abirdthatflew , thank you very much. Regards from the north of Germany :)
What a charming lady Dame Margaret was. I had the privilege of seing her as Norma and it was just beautiful. May she rest in peace

Troubled how?
No, of course nothing like Brunnhilde Jones - different planets.
Eine wunderbare Sängerin und sympathische Frau. Auch sie weilt leider nicht mehr unter uns.
First time ever I have enjoyed Aida. Must be how maestro intended it to be sung.bravissima
Never heard by Price. To me Aida is boring Calles role.
(12:44) "Did you ever sing Elsa?" - "No." - "Neither." - "Boring." - LOL because true.
genau wie sie habe ich Triller auch gelernt.
so eine süsse Person!
Wie bitte ? SÜß ??
Divine duet with Pavarotti.
La plus grande Isolde ! R.I.P.
(11:39) Question (urgent): "What was there with Don Giovanni?" - Margaret Price (little bit smiling): "That depends on who is Don Giovanni." - Great!
Well spotted. Yes, a good answer.
I so wish that these Da Capo interviews had English subtitles. Surely a worthy project for someone?
Good idea - since there is a lot of talking, it takes a lot of time to do that. Maybe someone should gather some money. I would do the translation then ;-)
Yes!!
certo quando pavarotti cantava, era una bestia rara unica insuperata
But Pavarotti got nervous for sure..
I doubt that; he was naturally gifted and sure of himself. However, he was with Margaret Price, probably the nearest female singer to his own heart that he'd ever worked with.
