I’ve sung the in the chorus of several performances of “Carmina", and I can’t begin to imagine doing it without music - from memory. And Kathleen Battle is incredible!
I worked at an HMV’s classical section in Montreal when I was a student and played this EVERYDAY, each time freezing everyone in tears and in their tracks at the store as it did to me and my team when we first heard this. Everyone in this team produced the finest performance of Carmina Burana I have yet to hear. Proud to say I am now married to a Japanese mezzo soprano here in Tokyo, and thanks to one of her upcoming performances under Ozawa San, I will have the honor of meeting the maestro. 🙏
I have always thought of the “dulcissime” solo to be the apex of this massive choral work. It is a complete reversal of the raucous and bawdy Carmina up to that point. Everything comes to a sudden stop before this soaring an stunning five-word solo.
@@beabea4541 Was Mr. Stern the violinist who was smiling as his eyes were on Ms. Battle? His smile is unforgettable, and I remember it from 33 years ago. I recall seeing this on PBS back at the time of this original broadcast, and I remember recording it on my VCR. I was fortunate to see Kathleen Battle live in several concerts over time in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
Moi aussi, je trouve que c'est le meilleur enregistrement, la meilleure orchestration. A voir le violoniste assis a gauche de l'écran, derrière Kathleen, ses yeux pleins d'admiration pour cette DIVA. Et Serjy Ozawa, il est le meilleur chef d'orchestre , a mon avis, parmi tous les CARMINA CURANA. Beautiful British Columbia Canada.
She is very pretty, the color of her voice is very beautiful and immediatly recognizable; but the person is the archetype of the capricious diva and no more director of theater wanted to invite her, so they had a chance to keep their sleep quiet.
Kathleen Battle is one of the greatest musicians of the past hundred years. Her singing is just godly. When you can see the lead violinist in the background smiling like a pig in shit, it's because he can hear *real* tonality from a singer - something which very seldom happens, and which violinests spend decades and decades refining. This is a unique talent.
My first encounter with Kathleen Battle was with Mahler’s fourth were she sings the song Sehr Behaglich at the end. That rendition was much slower than written but made the song more beautiful. Contrasted to this performance which is like being shot out of a cannon. But like the Mahler, the speed made the listening much better for the overall effect
He visto la obra en vivo en Buenos Aires Es tan extenuante para los interpretadores como para los oyentes escucharla Esta obra es algo tan increible y fuera de lo comun
I don't know whether you have heard her live, but her voice was of an exquisite beauty. One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and she did know how to use it properly.
Sumptuous singing but all concerned appear with anxiety unable to revel in Orff's grand celebration of humanity. I can hear it, very restrained, correct but lacking joy completely to transcend to the next level. Damn shame, never soars.
I'm glad someone pointed this out. I believe what you're saying is that he begins that section way too fast(?) That is my opinion. However, I believe it is supposed accelerando until the end.
In 62 years no one has come close to matching the way Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Philharmonic recorded this piece on 1960. People unfamiliar with that recording think these modern versions are fantastic. But in fact they are not bad but not good. Like a local rock band doing a cover of a Beatles or Led Zeppelin song. The timing is always terrible. Amateurs think timing is like a metronome, you have to keep perfect time. Expert actors and singers know the context of the line determines the speed, sometimes slightly slower, sometimes slightly faster.
Total agreement here, too! I bought the recording when it was released and still have it but the grooves a probably completely worn out. I have tried to listen to other versions but can’t make it through. One of my favorite pieces is the Tanz. The sound of the horns is absolutely magical. Unfortunately the soprano was, in my opinion, not up to par but Harve Presnell more than made up for it. This is, again, in my opinion, one of the best recordings of any piece ever.
I would say the Michael Tison Thomas recording with the Chorus prepared by Robert Page is the best. The Ormandy (another Page collaborator) is a close second.

Marvelous performance. I wish I had been in the audience. Kathleen Battle;. exquisitely beautiful. Ozawa:. Da bomb!!!
When you say Da Bomb, do you mean that he makes a very loud racket and destroys things?
@@doncarter2686 Yeah, that must be what he meant.
Brilliance personified. RIP dear Maestro Ozawa. SO loved this at Tanglewood with Battle, Lopardo & Hampson soloing.
Her tone....is EVERYTHING. Impeccable technique. She sings at such a high level, nearly peerless.
She is breathtaking , voice like velvet, precious moment

Ahh thirty years ago I found a CD of Kathleen Battle singing Negro Spirituals absolutely angelic.

I always adore watching the violinist there beaming behind her. ^___^
That was the reason I carved this portion out. I wanted to quickly get to this beautiful solo.
@kagitsune Me too!!! I find myself grinning with him and in rapture at Battle's glorious singing.
5:07 - That violinist's reaction behind Kathleen Battle is as good as her singing. ;-)
Yes. This was Mr. Stern.
Yes, that strikes me every time.

Oh, he is clearly enjoying her performance.
That finale is the MOST POWERFUL, VERY HERALDIC and BIGGEST!
Leontyne Price sings and she brings God to me-but Kathleen Battle, Kathleen Battle-she take me home, to the hearth of my soul’s high song!
I could listen to Ms. Battle do this all day. Hermosa ❤
ABSOLUTAMENTE HERMOSO MARAVILLOSO CORO...... GENÍALES MÚSICOS Y CANTANTES TODOS ME EMOCIONA
Najlepše izvodjenje Karmine Burane ikada ! Vracam joj se svih ovih godina!
Kathleen Battle je božanstvena!!!
Moi aussi, je trouve que c'est le meilleur enregistrement, la meilleure orchestration.

CARMINA CURANA. Beautiful British Columbia Canada.
Je suis d'accord!
Kathleen Battle…I love you. God bless you always.
I sang in a performance of Carmina. The strangest, most memorable music I ever participated in.
I am falling in love with Kathleen Battle’s singing this year 2022. Wow!!
I am glad I found her too!
I fell last year, in 2021.
Welcome then Battle lovers! You must check out her singing Vangelis as well
@@WhiteWizard79, why, thank you, friend! Lol. We should start a club for Kathleen lovers.

Totally well said!
Very much impressive! Young Ozawa’s conducting is still full of power deriving from every part attracting the audience too!
Splendid singing by Kathleen Battle-One of the greatest "ina" singers of her generation!!!!❤💟❤ "Dolcissimus"-BEAUTIFUL
She did it with my orchestra around this time - surely one of my life’s peak experiences

Super love!!! Kathleen Battle is a queen!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Kathleen Battle is indeed!!!
God's above. That last solo. Transcendent. Such passion.
He visto la obra en vivo en Buenos Aires
Es tan extenuante para los interpretadores como para los oyentes escucharla
Esta obra es algo tan increible y fuera de lo comun
From 5:08-5:51!!!! I got transported to another world!!!!! Kathleen Battle is an effffffing legend!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Kathleen Battle is the reason I cut this out of the whole piece. I wanted to be able to find her fantastic performance quickly. Glad you liked it.
I love watching the expression on the violinist behind her when she hits her high notes! He is being transported too!
Yes my favorite part in Carmina ! Was lucky to perform this at the Stephen centers in Nc. For NCSA at the time.
I don't know whether you have heard her live, but her voice was of an exquisite beauty. One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and she did know how to use it properly.
I love this woman. Marvelous, esplendid
Blown away with this! Wow 👏👏👏
É tão lindo que dá até um troço 🥺🤧❤️
tribute to the composer n the conductor who makes it real. The soloist who sublime it! So perfect. 太好啦！ 感谢你们！
Kathleen Battle and Sir Thomas Allen are the soloists.
And the tenor Frank Lopardo.
I did this for Kathleen Battle, but Frank is no slouch either.
Thank you!
Preciosa interpretación la cantante es única
Thanks for uploading this excellent rendition.
Glad you like it! I carved this portion from the entire work for my own enjoyment, but I am overwhelmed that so many love it as I.
So beautiful to listen to her voice 💐💖
Excelente cantante y coro, muy buenos.
Seiji Ozawa
He is indeed an exciting conductor to watch!!
5.07 minutos inacrditavel fabuloso, a melhor do mundo !!!!

Everyone
Obrigada. Maravilhoso recordar uma das inspirações que me levaram ao estudo do Bel Canto.
Sublime!!! Espectacular!!!!❤️❣️🌷💐👌👌👌👌
Soprano and angel voice= kattlen battle
Sumptuous singing but all concerned appear with anxiety unable to revel in Orff's grand celebration of humanity. I can hear it, very restrained, correct but lacking joy completely to transcend to the next level. Damn shame, never soars.
Maravilloso, emocionante, majestuoso!!

Esos chinos son los del Coro de Schiller
7:30 god…
The speed towars the end was of course complete bullshit. It's almost as if the conductor was trying to make fun of it.
I'm glad someone pointed this out. I believe what you're saying is that he begins that section way too fast(?) That is my opinion. However, I believe it is supposed accelerando until the end.
where was it performed.?

I agree. That was the first recording of Carmina Burana that I heard. But most of us are here for one reason: Kathleen Battle
I will have to look up the Eugene Ormandy version. I have watched numerous versions on TH-cam and this was the my favorite.
Total agreement here, too! I bought the recording when it was released and still have it but the grooves a probably completely worn out. I have tried to listen to other versions but can’t make it through. One of my favorite pieces is the Tanz. The sound of the horns is absolutely magical.

I imagine getting perfect synchronization of such a large number of musicians and choristers must be challenging

Mexico en Los Angeles thank you so much...
