Amazing!!!! They told the story of scandalisation so well😅 or shall i say the shock and disdain that follows. I love the feminine touch - this is exactly how we gist. Amazing voices! Beautiful delivery

Magnificent rendition of this seldom heard Spiritual. Sound quality is very vivid. I think this concert was around Spring of 1990.

How I love Sis Kathleen's beautiful soprano voice, and what she is singing of! These are Negro Spirituals my late mother would play and sing when we kids were small! I love her!!!❤

Great God Almighty, Sis Jessye tore that song up, didn't she!!! Glorify Jesus Christ, Jessye!!!❤

Nothing like the Negro Spirituals as Ms. Kathleen sings them with her fine-tuned beautiful voice! Praise Jesus Christ my Blessed Savior!!!❤

These last songs are so marvellous. So is she. A perfect match. ❤❤❤❤

Lindíssima e emocionante.

Beautiful , just beautiful . RIP Ms Norman , and RIP to maestro Strauss for creating such a masterpeice

❤❤❤

This is the best rendition of the song. Jessye Norman;'s voice, the organ and the pacing...sublime perfection!

For me the best to have done it. ❤❤❤❤❤ Shame the cultists had her legacy marred

I listen to this piece often and it never fails to give me goosebumps every single time! It's an extraordinary arrangement, Hubert Laws is brilliant and Kathleen Battle wrings every drop of emotion in breathtaking voice.

Just magnificent. No other words.

Summertime, a la base c'est plutôt du répertoire lyrique, en tout cas comme Gershwin la composé et c'est plutôt l'interprétation très Jazz d' Ela Fitzgerald et de Louis Armstrong qui l'on fait connaître comme un standard incontournable de ce style. Après, honnêtement, ça peut se jouer très bien sûr trois accords bateau genre Ré m Solm La 7, dommage de ne pas l'avoir tanter.

Awesome!

Magnifique ! ❤

October 2024 Listening and Delighting!!!! YES LORD!

Just amazing 🎉

She was the BEST! LOVE!

She is already an unforgettable legend. She was the best interpreter of the Four Songs of Strauss.

Sublime.

Absolutely Beautiful. Thanking God more now than ever for the gift of hearing

😢 So many emotions of joy & wonderment while the senses take in the experience of these divas including the indomitable Sylvia Olden Lee on piano✨

Levine was such a big perv.

They both look and sound like a heavenly pair of angels 💖 Their performance of this hymn is unmatched and beyond magnificent!!

😀😃

Her voice is legitimately perfect. I cry everytime. 🥺💓✨️

日本歌曲がきわめて自然で潤いある美しい響きで、しかも声量豊かに聴けることには驚きを禁じえません。

I have a friend who sang this so powerfully 4:18 . First time I heard it, I cried. I want the rendition of Robert McFerrin Sr played at my memorial service. 🙏 This was beautifully rendered. ♥

Best

Absolutely stunning!

You can tell Norman and Levine were both just colleagues, but friends. He said “I can tell exactly what you are doing”.

저기요, 선생님? 님 노래랑 오케스트라랑 따로 노는뎁쇼?

Why are idiots discussing her facial expressions?

One of the best singers EVER! She could sing Mozart through Verdi. We need more singers such as she was. Miss her greatly!

I died, went to heaven...and heard this.

😍😍😍😍😍

Great to hear that she won the Olivier award for acting. She is fascinating to watch in an opera.

This is sush a beautiful area.when he dismissed her not only from the opera house. but all Opera lovers from hearing perfection in ery performance she gives. We all still love her dearly..Blessings to you Kathleen Battle!!!.

If you can get thru this without tears you must be made of stone.

I'm now close to 80. I can't remember how many accounts of these I've heard over the years, but this is at the very top

Sweet! As someone else has written, that last note she delivers in "Swing Low" is, indeed, "a bar of pure silver." And her voice was made for the second number. The best performance of that song!

It´s her diction, man! Fix it!

I don't know if there's a balm, but there are certainly two magnificent voices.

Tendría que ser un alimaña que opine tan mal . De una norteamericana que canta maravillosamente como nadie y pronuncie el japonés casi perfecto. Para mí es música de Antología.

This should be played at Kamala’s inauguration 💙

Bravisimoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.................................................................................................................... FOREVER AND EVER

Edita G. Not really sure what she's doing but it's funny as hell.

first time hearing this, and WOW. What a statement while in agony

MARAVILLOSA
