“Leontyne Price was an excellent Tosca. Her luscious, smoky tone made her an alluring diva and she phrased in long, generous lines. She recorded the role twice in the studio. Her first, with Herbert von Karajan wrapping her in the plush velvet of the Vienna Philharmonic, is by far the best..." - Gramophone, 2022
