As beautiful as songtress as could ever be!
What a beauty, what a voice!❤
Just discovered this recording. What a treat! Incidentally, I've never seen her looking more beautiful!
Kathleen Battle - My forever fav!
I love these hidden gems 💎 ❤ so glad modern technology creates an opportunity for this footage to be shared!! Thank you! She is by far my all time favorite ❤🌟
Thank you for sharing this! Her voice at this point had become more velvety, warmer, rounder, and beautiful as always.
So gorgeous
Beautiful! Brava!!!
😍😍😍😍😍
A little bit too slow for my taste but Battle is just fabulous and can do whatever she wants. Love her ❤
Thank you so much ❤
Lovely rendition of Una voce poco fa. The beauty of its delivery has been reinforced by the lovely trills. The other pieces are lovely, too. I wonder when and where this performance was rendered?
As listed above, " New Jersey Performing Arts Center in 1997." NJPAC is in Newark.
@@JussiTTvanVickTheOperaAddict Thank you. I was not attentive enough!
Well, she certainly milked that cavatina!
Wouldn't you ifyou could do it like that?
Young Battle❤❤❤😅
well, young in what sense? She's been singing since the 1970s, so this is really the tail end of her singing career.
She was younger than she actually is today
She was 49 here. Considering she's about to perform at the Met at 75 is remarkable.
O mio babbino caro
Mi piace, è bello, bello
Vo' andare in Porta Rossa
A comperar l'anello
Sì, sì, ci voglio andare
E se l'amassi indarno
Andrei sul Ponte Vecchio
Ma per buttarmi in Arno
Mi struggo e mi tormento
O Dio, vorrei morir
Babbo, pietà, pietà
Babbo, pietà, pietà
Oh my dear papa
I like him, he is so handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
To buy the ring!
Yes, yes, I want to go there!
And if my love were in vain,
I would go to the Ponte Vecchio
And throw myself in the Arno!
I am pining, I am tormented!
Oh God, I would want to die!
Father, have pity, have pity!
Father, have pity, have pity!
Una voce poco fa1
qui nel cor mi risuonò;
il mio cor ferito è già,
e Lindor fu che il piagò.
Sì, Lindoro mio sarà;
lo giurai, la vincerò. (bis)
Il tutor ricuserà,
io l'ingegno aguzzerò.
Alla fin s'accheterà
e contenta io resterò.
Sì, Lindoro mio sarà;
lo giurai, la vincerò.
Sì, Lindoro mio sarà;
lo giurai, sì.

Io sono docile, son rispettosa,
sono obbediente, dolce, amorosa;
mi lascio reggere, mi lascio reggere,
mi fo guidar, mi fo guidar.
Ma,
ma se mi toccano
dov'è il mio debole
sarò una vipera, sarò
e cento trappole
prima di cedere
farò giocar, giocar.
E cento trappole
prima di cedere
farò giocar, farò giocar.
A voice a while back1
echoes here in my heart;
already my heart has been pierced
and Lindoro inflicted the wound.
Yes, Lindoro shall be mine;
I swear it, I will win. (bis)
My guardian will refuse me;
I shall sharpen all my wits.
In the end he will be calmed
and I shall rest content...
Yes, Lindoro shall be mine;
I swear it, I will win.
Yes, Lindoro shall be mine;
I swear it, yes.

I am docile, I'm respectful,
I'm obedient, gentle, loving;
I let myself be ruled, I let myself be ruled,
I let myself be guided, I let myself be guided.
But,
but if they touch me
on my weak spot,
I'll be a viper
and a hundred tricks
I'll play before I yield.
And a hundred tricks
I'll play before I yield.
