Is this at the Musikverein in Vienna?

I love her voice; it's very pleasing to the ears - very controlled yet never forced; strong yet tender.

IMO this requiem is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created and this performance is exquisite.

I agree, her high notes are remarkable, however it seems that she is having difficulties in lower notes and it is seen more clearly in her other performaces (e.g. in Mozart's "exsultate jubilate" posted on you tube).

Kathleen Battle is just stunning in this btw.

Es scheint mir als ob der Effekt des Dubbing einfach aus dem Film Edit entstanden sein koennte, der ja ein eigenes Sound Band hat. Frau Battle ist ausserdem ein Stueck von der Kamera entfernt. Also hat die Film Produktion im Schnitt eine echte Auffuehrung Lip synchen muessen. Fuer mich ist das Tempo wunderbar, Perfektion, Gaensehaut Tempo. Durfte der grosse Herbert von Karajan nicht interpretieren?. Das Resultat zaehlt doch wohl, oder? Was fuer eine Auffuehrung, was fuer ein Stueck. Pure beauty.
