[@l.e.6263]

Many do not realize how difficult this aria is, and she did it live in front of audience. You can hear a pin drop because the audience is enthralled. She wore the loveliest gowns, but her voice out shown all that great unique fashion.

[@timothyford992]

She has a voice that will never be replicated!

[@eatallnowsavenone4later342]

Such a beautiful voice!!!!

[@TheWriterWalker]

Her gowns were always fabulous and stylish, but more than that, she knew how to wear them! Ah! Our dear Pristine Kathleen!

[@MiguelArcangel-zi7xd]

Voz cristalina y aterciopelada una de las grandes sopranos ligeras de los ultimos tiempos!

[@lucianasalis9216]

Non ci sono parole! Troppo brava!!! ❤️

[@rosesflowers4722]

She looks fabulous for 71 years old.

[@nkm8209]

This Sunday she'll be 75😊

[@Chelltheworshiper]

perfect

[@janetjacksontylerlummer6828]

Brilliant

[@luziederschrecken]

At 6:26min she makes a very unusual "purring trill" in her throat. Never heard that kind before!

[@antonioespozito2555]

Una dolcezza , forse , non molto nota , ma molto graziosa , per davvero .

[@SR-jx8yu]

I adore her

[@TheWriterWalker]

You and I.

[@mariaszczerba4490]

Brawo!

[@user-ql4qi4fk1w]

OK! Let's enjoy Sumi Jo's Una voce this time!

[@ifluvinguiswrong]

Go look her up then.

[@IsNoob]

Wow she has beautiful voice 😗 I also like this but,I like the penthouse ver better!

[@florinest]

She has a great voice of course. It sounded to me like she was more connected to the beauty of her voice than to the emotional connection she has with what she's singing. And there were far, Far, FAR too many unnecessary and repetitive arm gestures, which I found artificial and distracting.

[@fabiogagliardi5908]

Pare sia stata una stronzissima persona, ma che voce!

[@Cedricfollyman]

Great voice and a good technique, but sung completely without any real meaning, feeling or emotion. One colour. A technically brilliant but very boring performance. A real pity because her voice was so beautiful, perhaps part of the reason her Opera career was so short.

[@HaleyMyles]

One of a kind. Magnificent voice and a stellar sense of style to boot.

[@stevenwilliams5360]

Like all your luscious singing you made it a show-stopping concert showpiece with your lovely stamp upon it, Miss Battle. Thanks for the voice that always makes me think of fine pearls being pulled across piles of the softest velvet. !!!

[@1mariamariamaria]

Aaaaah! Sublime! Greetings of the day to all my friends, featuring the incomparable and immortal Kathleen Battle, one if the greatest sopranos of All Time...!

[@hudsonbailey674]

Diva Kathleen Battle has an angelic voice.

[@brandonburrell8517]

She's extraordinary.

[@darkinetix]

Oh, Kathleen, this song has never brought tears to my eyes. It's that voice. God bless you.

[@ChagoWilson]

Happy 71st Anniversary Of Life Our Dearest, Kathleen Battle Tuesday, August 13, 2019 All Love, Honor & Respect For Your Precious Gift To Us ALL!

[@67gyomber]

Pity I can press only one thumb up instead of a hundred. Great tone of voice, volume and interpretation.

[@miscellanyman263]

Sheer bliss from The Voice of An Angel. Thank you, Kathleen. Hearing you sing live at Carnegie Hall, years ago, was just as much a thrill as it is now. Brava!

[@pelican5708]

A diva in her own right with a voice from heaven...

[@nickosullivan6264]

Who can disagree with that ?

[@gokcenozen8797]

Unforgettable voice,Kathleen,you are peace of my soul.

[@VoiceVirtuoso]

SHEER PERFECTION!!!!

[@GRDowntown2020]

Dan Saunders is a wonderful accompanist. This is the period in which her voice was at its best.

[@MrOu83]

George Downtown - Yes, he was superb as well.

[@liedersanger1]

I bet he had to put up with a lot of insecure diva.

[@brunolewis1360]

One of Miss Battle's signature roles, brava!

[@g.moeller308]

She's beautiful!

[@SR-jx8yu]

One of the greatest lyrical sopranos of our time

[@ifluvinguiswrong]

@S R She's a coloratura soprano not a lyrical soprano.

[@Marlene55M]

And bravo for the pianist, too! :)

[@latonyamichellRD7784]

How can someone not like this, i mean some of the notes were shifted from original but she made it her own!

[@trzagor2769]

Nobody handle this song better in all its forms than Kathleen Battle!!!

[@shells500tutubo]

Grist is also adorably cute, fits the part.

[@SuperLmer]

She had great taste in dresses. Very fashionable.

[@reala1276]

[@c.j.williams3948]

Uhm how about the voice disrespectful asshole

[@TheWriterWalker]

@@c.j.williams3948, the writer of this anchor post compliments Ms. Battle's fabulous and tasteful fashions. No reason at all to turn his kind observation into a cause for attack.

[@rosenogueira1943]

Maravilhosa! !!!!!! Bravissimo.

[@rexsojo]

O, Kathleen my bel! Great post, thank you!

[@zasesdea]

It sounds so tender in her voice!!!!

[@hectorberlioz1449]

Outreageous....!

[@TheUnknownforu]

no wonder she was once one of the best 10 Sopranos in the of the world

[@TheWriterWalker]

Much deserved.

[@christa06able]

Une pure merveille dans tous les sens du terme !

[@harrybencosme5016]

Voz y piano molto bello 😙😙

[@MaximilianGarbe]

❤️❤️❤️

[@chochosan582]

Ever artist brings their own personality style and life to breathe into their music. I listen to them all. Kathleen is the sweetest of sweethearts. .Joyce DE. PLAYS IT MORE COMIC. CALLAS IS THE SUPREME RULER. AS AN AMATEUR AND COMEDY WRITER. MY VERSION WILL RELECT THE MEAN EVIL. CHO CHO SAN. .COMEDY WRITER AND LIGHT LYRIC LIVING IN THE HOT HOT PHOENIX AZ.

[@ciociosan]

Cho Cho San Hmm.

[@SuperLmer]

Softer version of this song. There is an earlier version of this song when she was just a bit younger...She blows it out of the park. To bad there are no more recordings she has done after the fall from the met.

[@TheWriterWalker]

Is this that more robust version from a younger Kathleen? kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfai36ge69gp9E

[@amazingyear9042]

dolce 🥰

[@SuperLmer]

Look up Kathleen Battle - Rossini: Una voce poco fa so you know what I mean.

[@PunKComido]

wau

[@Marchinoft]

Fa senza accento!

[@sutherland9]

Sig. Boschi - Lei direbbe che la sua pronuncia non e' italiana o anche il suo modo di fraseggiare?

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Youth and age are deeply fascinated by this her song,This is wonderful vocal. From where are you watching this video ？ Vousregardez que catte video est du pays ？Voce esta assistindo que este video e do pais ？ Estas viendo que este video es del pais ？

[@Marchinoft]

La pronuncia mi pare corretta, il fraseggio è un po' rigido e non incisivo...perché me lo chiede? :-)

[@jjlungdoc7472]

Ironic that relatively few Americans speak more than one language compared to Europeans. However, when it comes to opera singers trained in USA, Americans are capable to sing , if not necessarily speak, in multiple languages much better than their European counterparts. Madame Tebaldi never ventured beyond her Italian boundaries. Price, Fleming, Sills, Battle or Studer ,to name a few, sang in Italian, French or German all the time.

[@gvocalist07]

I mean... it's cute!

[@helenaiv7830]

It's too slowly!

[@tklogan111809]

Very careful singing, no abandon. Thus isn't bel canto.

[@MarioJimenez-hk5sy]

no es bel canto y ella no usa el pecho y el sonido es pobre.

[@daniel_5606]

she need coloratura

[@ifluvinguiswrong]

@*Daniel_560 * she is a coloratura soprano. She does'nt need what she already is.

[@liedersanger1]

Too much grand gesturing. Rosina (and her music) was coy and sly.
