If you think you're sometimes hearing "incarnaCtus", not "incarnatus", the explanation is that you're listening to the word "factus", not "incarnatus". The entire text is: "Et incarnatus est de spiritu sancto, ex Maria virgine et homo factus est." The goddess Kathleen Battle never gets it wrong ;-)

Mozart macht den Sopran zu einem Instrument. Musikwissenschaftler sagen zu dieser Arie: Es ist ein Wunder! Ich bin der gleiche Ansicht. Für dieses Stück gibt es einfach keine treffenden Wörter außer: Danke Mozart!

I had never heard of Kathleen Battle until about 2008. I was held up in a hotel in Frederic, Md. watching the classic arts show. They showed a still of this stunningly beautiful Black woman who was going to sing. But I was offended because she was going to sing 'an old Negro Spiritual'. Lol When this woman opened her mouth to sing, I sat straight up in bed and said "oh, my God. Who is this?!!" That was the same reaction I had to hearing Whitney Houston the first time. LOL Glad she is a contemporay.

@operaman20 Thanks for commenting! I should have added the name of the person who wrote it... here it is: John Gilmore in "Probing Heaven". Here is another beautiful quote by Belle Brittain: "This is the luxury of music; it touches every key of memory and stirs all the hidden springs of sorrow and of joy. I love it for what it makes me forget and for what it makes me remember..." This is what music means to me anyway. Have a great day.

Angelic. Mozart may have written this piece for Constanza, but I bet he had Kathline in mind. Simply ridiculous! The best rendition ever. Notice the ethereal transitions and flotations into oblivion and abyss.
@Pawel_Malecki7 жыл бұрын
You may not be wrong actually. Recent research shows that pre-19th century opera singing was much more similar to natural singing than it is now, so Constanza and 18th century divas might have sounded like Kathleen. No matter how the singers in 18th century sang, for me Kathleen's voice is made for Mozart's music. Sadly the whole C minor mass, with Kathleen shaking the ground and hearts in Kyrie eleison (together with Wiener Philharmoniker under James Levine), is not on KZbin.
Es de lo màs bonito que se ha escrito. Kathleen Battle tiene voz de angel.

The first time round it's definitely INCARNATUS and NOT incarnaCtus ... though maybe the second time ?? it's .... ctus, though further again it's definitely carnatus. And the beauty and power of the voice is exceptional and the great Levine takes it nice and slow 8.23. Fabulous combination, and talking about "believing" - what else reflects eternal love more than this?

Only Mozart could write something so out of the box, ingenious, glorious, simple, marvelous, perfect... Bravo Mozart. Beautiful rendition! I didn't quite get the reason to watch the beautiful tropical beaches- I would associate this music to other visual attributes, but it's maybe a personal matter. I wonder what Mozart would feel when writing that. Goosebumps would he have, but would he think in Incarnation or in the goddesses that would have to sing this?

In some way, the performers must believe the music or even believe in it or perhaps even believe through it in order to, as one music-shop owner put, "play it correctly".

This is a lovely version but may I suggest that Arleen Auger's is truly unsurpassed!
@thomasmartin60464 жыл бұрын
I beg to differ. Kathleen has better breath control and is just sheer perfection. Ms. Auger's is a fine performance, but lets not pretend her voice is better than Battle's in this music.

@Pawel_Malecki6 жыл бұрын
She took a very short breath right before that "t", that's why it may be confusing. Battle's voice is so sweet and delicate you can hear her breathing, what is not common among Classical singers.

I agree that Kathleen Battle is, here as everywhere, exquisite. She is the best I know for "Welche Wonne, welche Lust". Here in "Et incarnatus est" I love her but still prefer Sylvia McNair (pure, heavenly, otherworldly) or Sumi Jo (the one who gets me shaking as a leaf every time I hear her).

Bittersweet beauty, heavenly and cursed. Kathleen Battle was my ideal 20 years ago. Now both she and Levine are finished.
@wellasang5 жыл бұрын
Eileen Pollock From the stories after the dissolution of her contract with the Metropolitan Opera, the manager made it sure that Battle would be out before Levine would come back after his vacation, because the latter would surely defend Battle. Kathleen still has her silvery voice even at the age of 71, just like Jessye Norman who could sing even in her early 70s in one of Masterclass’s birthday greetings to Marilyn Horne.
