Aus dem Walde tritt die Nacht， Aus den Bäumen schleicht sie leise， Schaut sich um in weitem Kreise， Nun gib acht. Alle Lichter dieser Welt， Alle Blumen，alle Farben Löscht sie aus und stiehlt die Garben Weg vom Feld. Alles nimmt sie，was nur hold， Nimmt das Silber weg des Stroms， Nimmt vom Kupferdach des Doms Weg das Gold. Ausgeplündert steht der Strauch， Rücke näher，Seel an Seele; O die Nacht，mir bangt，sie stehle Dich mir auch.

Somewhere on the Internet there is an even better version of this: a young Kathleen Battle paired with Rene Kollo! She was gloriously young and beautiful, living in Germany and speaking the language, her voice floating to the heavens, and he was completely smitten! It is so sweet!

Simply perfect! Tall, handsome Thomas Hampson and Petite Nightingale Kathleen Battle: a perfect pairing! Loved the way he swept her off her feet and carried her away after she agreed to go with him! Wish I could have been in the audience that night!

A Paola Tizi ❤ Rossano Corradetti ❤

Bless God for this gifted genius, the soul-nourishing artist. Her shimmering genius got me through over two years of challenges and isolation. God knows how to bring light, food and peace to His people.

Fantastico

You betta play that flute!! ❤

1:17 So brilliant. See smiles on everyone's faces

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My God!

Excellent

So much fun with that one!

Perfekt !!!!!!

Why is Octavian sung by a mezzo soprano?

Anyone who thinks this interpretation is "terrible" simply doesn't know anything about this discipline. Please spare us your ignorance and stick to Taylor Swift.

Brava !!!

Braaaaaaaavo.

Love this Diva since I was a child.

I want my Diane back

Damn Kathleen, get it!! This is gold! 🙌☀️⭐️🐸

This woman by far is the most beautiful woman that has ever sung opera!

Que Diferencia Ella Cantando Esta Cancion- A La Maestra De Una Amiga Mia- La Señora De Este Video Tiene Que Seguir Cojiendo Claces Y Canta Haciendo Muchas Muecas Con La Cara.

how many people listened to this more than 10 times?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oops, she did however make a big mistake with the text: "Nimmt das Silber VON des Stroms" instead of "Nimmt das Silber WEG des Stroms". Take it from a fellow opera singer, it happens sometimes. In her case her mind substituted another word that almost means the same thing, "von" instead of "weg".

Love how he carried her away.

A beautiful voice, but the vowel sound in ‘Shade’ is not quite accurate. A small point, but it spoiled it for me.

My ears are happy to hear her voice that outweighs some breathing that haters are keenly searching for. Thank God she's breathing for life's sake.

Голос,как ручеёк! Супер!!!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

I dont know what this music is about or what language its being sung in. But these two make it supreme noise to my ears.😮

5yeas later it does not get any better. Still the same .Fantastic

May this wonderful soprano voice last a millennium in humankind's memories!

Kathleen Battle and Lucia Popp are the most beautiful versions of this song.

Pagina sublime di sconvolgente bellezza

A song ABOUT Kathleen! kzbin.info/www/bejne/paipo2iXj6mIitEsi=pvEXWdYr8qm6v8vA

Sorry, they destroyed the whole meaning of the song....Dreadful

Great singer, terrible human being

Existe um vídeo que mostra a preparação de ambos para este concerto que é uma jóia que deveria ser disponibilizado na internet. Uma Grande professora realiza um trabalho sublime com ambos.

Wynton Marsalis é absolutamente mágico no trompete. Um gênio.

Maravilhosa e eterna kathleen Battle.
