Leontyne Price at the Met: "Vissi d'arte"

YouTube

Richard Strauss's Die ägyptische Helena was first performed in Dresden #OTD in 1928.

So here's Leontyne Price singing the Awakening Scene with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Erich Leinsdorf. One of the most astonishing things on disc, it still takes my breath away fifty years after I first heard it.
