Battle is the very best in Let the Bright Seraphim. Her silvery and pure voice, her dazzling coloratura technique, and her sweet timbre, suits this piece like no-one else can. Kiri is really good, but her coloratura is a little "forced" and Sutherland, besides her coloratura skills, just vocalises the piece, one cannot understand a single word of what she's singing.

@Tankotoka Yres, they're very good indeed.But for me Kiri rules here, as she does almost everywhere.

Good singing by Lucy Crowe but favorite rendition of this aria is by Joan Sutherland. Kathleen Battle's interpretation is also high up there.
