La plus fascinante soprano de tous les temps;. La voix crystalline, d'une pureté inégalable ravit ceux qui l'écoute. Depuis trois décenies je ne cesse de l'écouter et chaque fois c'est le même ravissement; Merci Miss Battle pour tant de beauté; The most fascinating soprano of all times. Her pure crystal voice never attained by anyone enthrals the audience. Thank you miss Battle for ravishing us with so much beauty.
Thank you for this insightful piece. Had the same judgment and fine been leveled on male conductors and soloists there would have been a desert of talent in the 20th century. Nina Simone dealt with this game situation and is was a punishment of one of our greatest talents. How much more great music have we missed ?
So Noble !!.....So Elegant !!....So Graceful !!!......My Glorious Kathleen In Her Magnificent Prime At The Height of Her Powers !!!.....What A Moment In Time !!!.....
Madame Battle, thanks for the rich legacy you have shared and will leave behind until the end of time. You reached heights in the world of opera that is hard to funnel from among the many voices in the world. Your voice is a rare entity. Bravo!
I asked myself, if I had no knowledge about the technical aspects of great singing, what might I say about Kathleen Battle's singing?.... I'd say, Oh my goodness!!! Her voice sweeps me off my feet and transports me to the celestial planes. Ahh!!!! Yolanda (MarJupVen)
In my not-so-humble opinion, when Kathleen Battle was at the top of her game no one could touch her. Many sopranos sound pretty much the same because of the standards and requirements of the operatic form. When Kathleen sings, however, you always know that it is her.
