*I do not own the rights to this recording. An avid collector sent me this when I was sourcing material for an event I held in honor of Florence Quivar at the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts. Quivar recalled this performance and shared her recollections with me. Forgive me for posting a Requiem on her birthday; I don't have a lot of Price recordings that haven't already been posted. That's the only reason I'm posting this. Some people may never have heard this recording, and I thought this would be cool to share.

I have always thought that the Verdi Requiem was Leontyne Price's best role. Her early recording with Fritz Reiner conducting is magnificent and unsurpassed. But then again, the other recordings of the work are magnificent.
I’ve been searching for this for years, thank so much. What a wonderful cast, and Leontyne sails through these Verdi lines, like he wrote this for her! Brava
❤
I had no idea of this Requiem recording so late in Price's career! She is in absolutely fine voice! Bravissima! And how wonderful to have the added joy of Quivar's gloriously rich mezzo! Plus Domingo and Cheek! An embarrassment of riches, indeed! Thank you! Happy Birthday Leontyne Price!
Thank you for sharing this recording. I have heard bits and pieces of it but not in its entirety. Price of course, is singing with much beauty, passion and abandonment. Love hearing Quivar here as well!! What a glorious voice!!
Madam Quivar is superb and such a rare and beautiful vocal instrument she has cultivated over her career. Lovely! Thank you for sharing.
I agree hundred percent...
The perfect birthday present to all of us-thank you!
Thank you so much for this, I thought Madame Price retired the requiem in 1977 or so.
She also sang it in London in 1980.
This was recorded in house and was a memorial concert for Francis Robinson. It has been available on the Met on demand and on Sirius
Bravo Sir! 👏🏾
I truly need to purchase this into my collections. To me this has the best Libera me I ever heard.
Any stories about Leontyne from this performance, Maestro Cheek? (BTW, more than 40 years later, I am still thrilled by your singing of the Frate’s aria in Don Carlo from 1980 or 81? THE best! It’s amazing how firmly and vividly great singing lodges in the memory!)
Nothing except how glorious she was. It was a tremendous privilege to stand beside her. Thank you for your compliments
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the post. I loaned mine out and it was never returned. Lovely to revisit the moment.
You are the best for uploading this today!
Thank you so much!
I am enjoying Libera me ( 1:06:34 ) as I write; so powerful, so inspiring. This collection definitely has to be among my souvenirs...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you courtneybaritone01! I'm enjoying this and it is a great performance, excepting Levine's conducting. Surprisingly, he seems unable to find the grandeur and mystery in the music. Everything seems rushed, spastic and too fast, lacking the needed breathing room; kind of like guzzling a fine vintage in stead of sipping, drinking and savoring the pleasures. Leontyne is magnificent and is in commanding voice. One question I have. Is this a pirate recorded in from the audience or was it from the broadcast? Sounds in-house to my ears. Thanks.
I do believe it is an in-house recording, though I do believe it was also broadcast during the pandemic. I could be wrong about that. It may have been another requiem cast.
Price is just astonishing. So secure and such a beautiful voice. Levine seems to be not connected to the material, at least not to the spiritual side of it. Tempos are rushed at key moments throughout when the text cries out for space and pacing. Domingo and Quivar are the strongest tenor and mezzo one could wish for. Cheek is a fine singer, but I seriously doubt that he was the original choice for the bass. Does anyone know?
Yes I was
great performance!
but I don't like Price's portamento.
オーケストラはどこ？
It is the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. I wasn't sure about that until Maestro Cheek said so. Sometimes, Levine conducted the American Symphony Orchestra. I'll update it when I can.

多分、MET orchestraだとは思ったが、念の為、尋ねました。
