[@user-vxymoqm]

私はお話しさせて頂いた事があります。 ほんとに子供みたいな純粋な方なんです。無邪気 でこの声、この歌に表れています。🥰🤫

[@がららにょろろ]

どの曲もおざなりではなく、とてもきちんとしっかりと歌われていて感動しました 全部好きな曲ですが、どれも今まで聴いた中で超一級の美しさだと思います。 やはり素晴らしいですね

[@尾長ちゃん]

幸運にもコンサートを拝聴しました。上から金色の雨が降るような不思議で表現できない美しい美しい声でした。

[@s1ebihtan]

あの鮮烈なウイスキーのCF以来ずっとファンでした。そしてこんな素晴らしい日本の歌を素晴らし日本語で披露して頂きまた感激を新たにしました。 耳にしたのが遅かったのが悔やまれます。ありがとうございます♪

[@emikokamei4898]

Marvelous!!　Wonderful. 日本人の心にも響く歌声です。　細く澄んだ歌声が大好きです。 一緒に歌って、ソプラノの訓練をしている毎日です。 オンブラマイフ同様、高音がキレイです。

[@radiotelegram]

Incredible. I'm so grateful to have stumbled on this magnificent art.

[@excelsior999]

In my opinion, when Kathleen Battle was at the top of her game no one could touch her. She was in a class by herself. A lot of sopranos sound pretty much alike because they are all trained to meet the standards and requirements of operatic singing. When Kathleen sings, however, you always know it's her.

[@stepaushi]

Very few sopranos can control their vibrato. That's what kills them.

[@sweethoneythoughts]

I plan on learning these through and through! Kathleen Battle is and always will be a role model in the Opera World! I just pray I can do these songs a modicum of justice. Thank you Kathleen Battle for such an amazing recording!🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰👏🏾👏🏾

[@高橋正博-s2u]

We Japanese classical music fans are so pleased that the marvelous opera singer kathleen Battle had chosen 5 lovable Japanese songs. And she had brought an additional remarkable value into these precious traditional songs. Especially, "Blossom" and 'Shore song" are awfully nice!

[@bingo1232]

Yes.... so true!

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.

[@juanitoalimana3131]

La idea parece buena, pero suena a verismo trasnochado, casi pop. Battle tiene momentos brillantes en su carrera, esta grabación no los alcanza por mucho.
