I've known Kallen for about 10 years and she has always been kind and generous towards me and others that i have seen. She has had more than her share of tragedy in her life as well as success so some may have been around her during one of those highs or lows. I prefer to focus on the present and in the present, she is a great person.

i searched for so long through the videos for a rich and pure version of this timeless piece... this is by far the best... the earth moves when she sings this and it grabs at my inner core and brings tears to my eyes... love it... i listened to this 8 times before i typed this comment... all the other artists seemed a tad contrived. besos

I met Kallen Esperian a number of times socially in Memphis, TN, and each time she was just horrifically snobbish and rude, to the point that on one occasion the host mailed out hand-written apologies the following day. That was twenty years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Awful woman, just awful.

I am a voice student of Kallen Esperian's.She is the most kind ,humble,and disingenous person.She treats everyone with respect, despite her vast training,dedication and acheivement.Her students are treated like gold,although I definitely paled in comparison,when we parted.I can not believe you have actually met her; because at the premiere of her second movie,Visi De Arte,she very congenially met and spoke to the public in attendance,and I personally escorted a young woman working at the concession stand who was to shy to speak who had a keen exitement that Kallen was present, to Kallen,who graciously met and spoke to the little college age girl with shining eyes.Stop your propaganda,I don't believe you.There is no kinder,more honest,intelligent,talented,humorous person on planet Earth,and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have been able to study under her expertise,be present socially with her and her wonderful,fully loved son; experience her ability to bring everyone in her audiences,even in her generous volunteer concerts for charities;to tears;through the purity of her heart,and her well crafted capacity to deliver an astonishing,deeply moving performance.Your poison typing sounds like fiction.Kallen is my personal friend,SHE IS THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD,and never has to give us the time of day,but is always well mannered and completly friendly,and diplomatic,despite having been in the presence of the Royals,and Popes and musical greats like Pavarotti,Carras,and Domingo,et al.I can not praise the personal virtue of Kallen Esperian enough,it is very heartening in this corrupt world,to meet some one so uncorrupted,and kind,who adores her son so thoroughly,who would never conceive to slight another human,a kind animal lover,elegant cook,poet,and well rounded,normal ,admirable woman of intellect and education.Kallen has a beautiful album of Arias,and an enjoyable album of standards,Lover Come Back,that she created herself,and has sold at her free, volunteer Christmas concerts every year at the Germantown,Ten.Presbyterian Church.As a nobody experiencing criminal abuse and coercion,Kallen without asking volunteered to take her time out of her busy shedule to testify on my behalf as a character witness in court.Her documentary movie Visi De Arte reveals more of her true nature,and is very uplifting,inspiring,and entertaining.Do not lie about this patriotic,well grounded American mother and vocal phenomenon of great musical understanding and ability.Not only a great artist,but a great and enjoyable, unpretentious,person of notable good humor.

It is a lovely voice but the Italian was terrible. At one point she inserts oo in all of her o ‘s more weird diction games. Esperian always had a natural warm feathery sizable soprano voice but the technique was never entirely on the body. She had this annoying thing of raising her larynx and lifting her head on the end of a phrase or in a high note and singing around the edges of a note. She completely lacked bite in the sound. She was capable of it she just did this kind of soft grained game. In the end the gigs dried up due to a sort of blandness. Which was odd and she was missed but yet forgotten. The career just didn’t develop past the “I can sing pleasingly in tune and with some size” point. There was a lack of developed artistry. That said to look at the hams running about nowadays sounding like sirens and wah wah voices Esperian seems utterly compelling.

[@tamerlano]

No, she's still dreadful.

[@annetterohla8932]

Kallen's career did not "dry up".Kallen had a severe car crash,which crushed and cracked her skull,and saved her life,because they removed a previously unrevealed brain tumor,which she had to recuperate from.She has had a very dramatic life.A more complete history of where Kallen went,and some of what actually transpired,despite your lies;is revealed in the second movie made about her ,"Visi De Arte".Your baseless,phony nitpicking doesn't stop the full public enjoyment of her art,and everyone should know Kallen Esperian's great talent and following has many who are professionaly jealous,and because she is one of the few honest and non Illuminatti members in the entertainment world,of course she would be defamed by untalents and thugs.I have been her grateful friend,and ya'll enemies of Christ need to stop your pissing match against me and Kallen,one of the most beloved artists in her field.Jealousy,hatred of competition,and trying to eliminate Western History,no doubt.Jesus is coming,and the wicked will be cut OFF,and we will have a thousand years of peace;and no more liars from the Devil,the father of all lies.She taught for many years at Mississipi State University,and has a display dedicated to her,including costumes of hers,at the State Museum in Nashville,Ten.We all LOVE KALLEN,and her deep multidimensional residence in the musical ether.She is also a great and profound voice coach to many of us;children;who she loves;and adults.If you don't like her music,then why are you here trolling?

[@annetterohla8932]

And I will completely refute your claim that she has a habit of lifting her chin,while as a student she always corrected my vocal structure by instructing me to lower my chin,which my next voice coach in Bridgeville,Pittsburgh Pa. repeatedly wanted me to lower in training.Kallen is of Armenian descent.The young Turks who committed the Genocide of the Christian Armenians were Jews.You young Turks will be meeting Jesus,stop coming at her,to eliminate her or me,your favorite prophet temporarily under your gang stalking.No one can stop the return of Christ Our Lord and Savior,slanderer.Jesus said Christians should not go to court,unless they've been slandered,or subpeonaed,that is how abominable your lame lies are to Him.I see your J - and so does God.He who laughs last will laugh best.Judgement Day is coming,and Jesus is Lord of Judgement.
