I saw her perform this song live in San Francisco, acapella style, and I was moved to tears. The purity of her voice was like an angel calling to my soul. Thank you Ms. Battle for being a vessel that beauty can reach out to us though.

TRANSLATION: Kathleen Battle is one of the most sublime sopranos that I've ever heard. A voice that makes you think of the beauty of live, of heaven, of perfection.... TOTALLY AGREE! Well said.

Kathleen Battle is one of the finest Soprano's in the world, and she performs this piece superbly. In it is not only represented the history of African Americans, but it is a glimpse into early American history and tradition. For those with an ear we should be grateful for her still beautifully angelic voice, and for Americans we should be grateful for her tradition.

Doing a search for Kathleen Battle on KZitem, I realize we often forget (because of her dismissal by the Metropolitan Opera in 1994) what an enormous career she had and with how many top-flight colleagues she successfully collaborated: von Karajan, von Stade, Jessye Norman, Alicia Keyes, Wynton Marsalis, James Levine and on and on -- Ms. Battle appeared in Japan, in Berlin, at the Kennedy Center, seemingly everywhere over time, singing in as many as six languages besides English. Let's hear it for a diva of championship caliber, if an apparently capricious and difficult one offstage.

So beautiful! I love gospel, spirituals, hymns, the old songs of faith performed in a church with everyday people. I used to sit outside just that church in the village where I spent my youth. Me and my bike and bubblegum just listening. This performance though, is so incredible! I've heard both Kathleen Battle and the Boys Choir of Harlem many times in my life but never together, and never like this!!

This is a profound statement. Each style brings out perhaps different aspects of the song. This interpretation speaks of a home in paradise where peace and beauty reside. In this style, in the high, beautiful notes we one can hear (if one's heart is open to it) that high, beautiful place of which this song speaks. What an artist.
