This recording features soprano Leontyne Price starring in Giacomo Puccini's dramatic opera, Tosca. Accompanying her are tenor Placido Domingo as Mario Cavaradossi and baritone Sherrill Milnes as Baron Scarpia, with maestro Zubin Mehta conducting the New Philharmonia Orchestra and The John Alldis Choir (directed by John Alldis).
Leontyne Price was widely regarded as one of the finest operatic voices of her era, acclaimed for her lush spinto soprano timbre and commanding stage presence. Her performance in Tosca stands out as a benchmark classical presentation.
