@sdegrace I wish you the best! I suspect your version will be lovely! Thanks for your mention.

[StephanAOTTO1]

Oh, YEAH!!! I LOVE this special!

Thanks for uploadng!:)

[varadero1839]

You're welcome! Two angelic voices made this "Special," a winner!

[elegie84]

Beautiful, beautiful, just beautiful!!!

Battle's dress is a riot! Those sleeves...whoa!

Seriously though, I've heard that Battle's reputation for her temperment had more to do with mental disease than personality or choice and that she was able to medicate with mood stabilizers later in life. My theory has always been that such great artistry is often accompanied with something out of the norm mentally. What makes one so great is often one's greatest vice as well.

@StephanAOTTO1 - with another Christmas nearing, we should check Mario Lanza's rendition in English (' The Virgin's Slumber Song'. It is exquisitely

performed with sensitivity.. and not at all bombastic ( as so many critics complain about his overall singing.) I think you will truly enjoy it..

Kathleen's xmas album is the only better recording of this song, but one must remember that this was a live performance from Carnegie Hall. (By the way, Sissel sings one inch from a microphone and sounds highly engineered, however she excells at putting one to sleep with her slow version and her black mourning gown. Do you think Ms. Sissel knows that the mormons have probably baptised her by proxy?)

[GosuSan]

@eashyr If u think this is better then Sissel,s natural effortless angelic voice that comes with a smile since her soprano is natural although she can go as high as F above C, then , of course, it´s your right to think so. On the other hand, I can´t agree with u, since my mother told me ,when I was just a little boy, that I never should lie. So I have to say that Sissel is far better.

[eashyr]

this was with mormon tabernacle christmas especial too, sissel's version came few yeears later. i prefer this one its lively whereas sissel's version is more personal

[GosuSan]

no offense, but this is nothing compared to Sissel Kyrkjebo singing "Maria" with the mormon tabernacle choir. She reaches all high notes effortless. Stunning!!

[JayZDreamer1111]

Great duet from a great concert! Battle's last note particulary was beautifully placed and Flicka as always, is as musical as ever!

[cabral4cleverson]

É arrebatador poder ouvir o que a voz, maior instrumento, é capaz de fazer. Simplesmente maravilhoso!

[888edfajardo]
