Strauss - Kathleen Battle - Frühlingsstimmen - Voices of Spring

[@Bahia82]

Battle has the purest tone of any soprano ever! what I love about her is that she never over sings a song, or over do it with huge notes. Battle realize that opera is not just about hitting the big note at the end or in the middle, but the whole song being sung with tone clarity and correct pitch. she is one of my favorites

[@anthonylopezgallegos2682]

One of the greatest voices ever. Her intonation is above all the rest; no one can even come close, not to mention the beauty of her tone.

[@lbcandide]

She sounds like an instrument!

[@garydubois7755]

I don't care what anybody says. being loud is not the criteria by which one should judge a voice. battle has the most beautiful soprano voice I ever heard. just falls so softly on the ears.

[@gaphoogys]

I do agree, I also think Elin Manahan Thomas also has a very beautiful soprano voice as well, even more Renee Fleming. I love listening to all three of them

[@markuse3472]

Its absolutely amazing, surely. But there are quite a few women who have as beautiful a voice.

[@piousaugustus84]

She's right up there with Lucia Popp.

[@shuaizhang9566]

Being loud is important to be a heroine in some operas to some extent. But Katherine has her own characteristic in her voice, and her interpretation of Frühlingsstimmen is best in my mind. The cooperation of the conductor and the orchestra also make a difference. If the orchestra is too loud, it will destroy the beauty of Katherine's voice.

[@HerbertSchepers]

It is my reference always, 'the sparrow' she was called.

[@DCFunBud]

Battle was a phenomenon. Stoic von Karajan could not suppress his delight. There is nothing like a perfect performance.

Anna Moffo is my favorite of all opera singers.

[@thatsacoolone9038]

Yes, Patrica also my favourite. Followed her on YT since the beginning. She's a Soubrette. This singer has a more full operatic voice with a different attitude on the song which I don't like very much.

[@micahwoodard]

Superb! Pitch perfect from what seemed to be an effortless performance. She has a beautiful tone. Many sopranos have an almost harsh or scream-like sound to me, but not her. Her voice is absolutely beautiful!

Look at von Karajan's smile at the end; he knows this was a superb 8 minutes of Kathleen Battle at her best.

[@bigmoneyc9395]

As a classical singer, she is my idol. The most perfect soprano ever!

[@chorusinger]

Kathleen sang this walz as close to perfection as is humanly possible in my humble opinion, underscoring the fact that she was a great artist 25 years ago as she still is today. Too many times underrated due to gossip about her being difficult to get along with. True or untrue, it should never obscure the fact, what a magnificant soprano she is and belongs among the greats of all times.

[@linda_smilesrfree2744]

[@vivsters96]

She still manages to keep a quality of girlishness in her voice even after years of vocal refinement and strengthening. Beautiful.

[@artsylovelylady]

[@carlosdossantos917]

Kathleen has the angelic voice that will make Babies stop crying. So velvety. Anyone who can't feel the beauty in her sound, perhaps can't feel at all.

[@craigbloomfield527]

As a huge classical music fan, I can still maintain that Battle's voice, coloratura and delivery remain among the most seamless of generations (note the S). Certainly, like many perfectionists, she was reputed to be difficult to work with, but many overlook that she was even harder on herself than she was on others. Does this excuse any behavioural indiscretions? Certainly not, but like all of us, she was profoundly human and always wanted to look, sound and be her best for herself and for the music. What of John Eliot Gardiner? One of the finest conductors of the last 100 years who revolutionised early music performance and interpretation...and, according to close sources, a monster in the rehearsal room. People who aspire for perfection often have bouts of hubris - not only in honour of themselves, but also because they see a clear standard they believe is achievable and they want those around them to attain it. Anything else, to them, is failure. The same applies in other fields - medicine, law, literature. The fact is, brilliant people are often quite difficult. To call them divas would be an oversimplification. As to those who make all this fuss about her not being retained at the Met, remember she's not the first leading opera singer to have had this experience. Pavarotti also comes to mind... At the end of the day, we cannot hypocritically sit in our seats, listen to the music of these artists and shred their lives for being more flawed than their vocal production. Let's embrace them, be grateful for them and cherish the recordings they have left us. Small voice, big voice who cares? Voices aren't buildings so they needn't impress with their sheer noise. For a seasoned listener, range, pitch, line, breath, colour and ring matter infinitely more. Little surprise that so many young singers break their voices early in many supposed leading music schools - all trying to be louder and bigger than they were ever meant to be. It isn't the size of the voice that matters. It's what the singer achieves with his or her gift. This remains one of the best performances ever of this piece and shall remain thus for decades, if not centuries. As to those who claim the Met stopped or slowed her career: rubbish. Miss Battle went on to be one of the greatest recording and concert artists of our time. By the time she was dismissed at the Met, she was already beyond her prime anyway. We mustn't forget that the highest voices, however well maintained, are the first to lose their sparkle. They are shooting stars.... I have to thank Kathleen Battle for sharing her immense gift and artistry with us. I have been listening to her for over 20 years and her voice still brightens my day.

[@lapamful]

You know it's funny but I couldn't help noticing exactly the same thing ;p

[@dem24utube]

She sings this as a consummate musician. Not as just a 'singer'. She has so much in her technical arsenal that you do not hear any efforts of 'singing', but pure music. There are so many details that most people would never even notice--very important stylistic nuances. On top of all that she of course has a beautiful, beautiful voice. This is musicianship far beyond any other rendition I have ever heard. I wish I had been in Vienna in 1987!

[@vinemp]

🎯(Found you!) With ONLY the exception of that ill-advised Zerbinetta, Battle shall forever be the [cleanest] technician WITH the most consistently pleasing-compelling sound.

[@armongolliday9866]

What I find puzzling about people who comment on the smallness of her voice is that Miss Battle sang at the MET for nearly 20 years to rave reviews and a following she still has to this day. I hardly believe she would've had the brilliant career she had if she were inaudible. Do you think the reviewers were sitting on stage? Miss Battle, in her prime, was the jewel of the MET and every other opera house she performed at, and her name on the billing practically guaranteed a sell out house. People don't flock to hear a singer that they can't actually hear. Make sense? Probably not to simple-minded, bandwagon riders. One last thing, do me a favor a post a video of you singing this piece at the Musikverein under Maestro Von Karajan. Not just anyone gets that opportunity, especially someone inaudible.

[@55archduke]

I completely agree Arnon. She is a "light" soprano, who has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, and which delighted people in opera houses including the Met for years.Armon Golliday

[@Shahrdad]

Armon Golliday Small voices that are resonant and focused can be heard in the biggest houses. They don't flood the house, but simply carry easily above the orchestra. I have heard bigger voices that stop at the footlights because they don't have focus and resonance.

[@francisloa3810]

Armon Golliday I totally agree with you!!! Battle is a true genious! If you listen her zerbinetta, her Ach ich fühl's, Semele, or this jewel, you can tell. My teacher went party with battle, and he say she is a bitch. He was in her debut as Zerbinetta in London, and he tell her she was stunning, then battle answer "Don't you think is boring when people tell you that they saw you somewhere?" lol

[@VoiceVirtuoso]

francis loa That's another thing I don't understand. Why do people care so much about her personality, when most will never have the opportunity to spend time with and get to know her? As a person who enjoys beautiful music, Miss Battle is doing me and the world quite the service by sharing her wonderful gifts. I can appreciate her for that. I've met her in person, and she was nothing but warm and gracious, so I take those stories with a grain of salt. Enjoy the voice and leave it at that.

[@serenaisdabomb]

+VoiceVirtuoso "Why do people care so much about her personality, when most will never have the opportunity to spend time with and get to know her?" While it's still not clear why she was fired and if racism played a role, IF the stories are true, the reason is obvious: musicians work closely together and rely on each other, and it's very difficult to work with a jerk. Evidently, the incident that led to her firing was her insistence on having no one in the cast or orchestra watch her while she was singing. That's something that's *extremely* hard to work with.

[@Sunnivah13]

I am a bit of a voice nut. I have heard all of the great voices from Melba to Sutherland but never have i heard a voice has beautiful as Battles. Period. She sent shivers down my spine when i first heard her in the early 80's. I had the pleasure of seeing her live a few times and was always enthralled.

I listen to so many sopranos of her type and they all fade in comparison to magnificently produced voice. She executes every technical challenge with grace and aplomb. Her vocal registers are so evenly balanced and her intonation so perfect its insanely gorgeous. If she was difficult begind the scenes i can't imagine the intense pressure she was under and back biting and jealous behavior of the less gifted members of the metropolitan opera must of been a nightmare to deal with.
