Many do not realize how difficult this aria is, and she did it live in front of audience. You can hear a pin drop because the audience is enthralled. She wore the loveliest gowns, but her voice out shown all that great unique fashion.
She has a great voice of course. It sounded to me like she was more connected to the beauty of her voice than to the emotional connection she has with what she's singing. And there were far, Far, FAR too many unnecessary and repetitive arm gestures, which I found artificial and distracting.
Great voice and a good technique, but sung completely without any real meaning, feeling or emotion. One colour. A technically brilliant but very boring performance. A real pity because her voice was so beautiful, perhaps part of the reason her Opera career was so short.
Like all your luscious singing you made it a show-stopping concert showpiece with your lovely stamp upon it, Miss Battle. Thanks for the voice that always makes me think of fine pearls being pulled across piles of the softest velvet. !!!
Aaaaah! Sublime! Greetings of the day to all my friends, featuring the incomparable and immortal Kathleen Battle, one if the greatest sopranos of All Time...!
Sheer bliss from The Voice of An Angel. Thank you, Kathleen. Hearing you sing live at Carnegie Hall, years ago, was just as much a thrill as it is now. Brava!
@@c.j.williams3948, the writer of this anchor post compliments Ms. Battle's fabulous and tasteful fashions. No reason at all to turn his kind observation into a cause for attack.

Softer version of this song. There is an earlier version of this song when she was just a bit younger...She blows it out of the park. To bad there are no more recordings she has done after the fall from the met.
Youth and age are deeply fascinated by this her song,This is wonderful vocal. From where are you watching this video ？ Vousregardez que catte video est du pays ？Voce esta assistindo que este video e do pais ？ Estas viendo que este video es del pais ？
Ironic that relatively few Americans speak more than one language compared to Europeans. However, when it comes to opera singers trained in USA, Americans are capable to sing , if not necessarily speak, in multiple languages much better than their European counterparts. Madame Tebaldi never ventured beyond her Italian boundaries. Price, Fleming, Sills, Battle or Studer ,to name a few, sang in Italian, French or German all the time.
