    A superlative rendition of this beautiful spiritual. She gave it her all. Her voice is like a fine wine.

    WOW! LOVE these lyrics, and nobody but nobody can sing like MS Battle!
    My God is so high you can’t get over Him,
    He’s so low you can’t get under Him,
    He’s so wide you can’t get ‘round Him,
    You must come in, by and through the Lamb.
    One day as I was a-walkin’ along the heavenly road,
    My Savior spoke unto me
    And he filled my heart with his love.
    My God is so high. . .
    I’ll take my gospel trumpet and I’ll begin to blow,
    And if my Savior helps me I’ll blow wherever I’ll go.
    My God is so high . . .

    It's amazing she can produce that sound from such a petite frame. James Levine is ecstatic at the end and says "Marvelous!" as Miss Battle turns toward him.

    Nothing like the Negro Spirituals as Ms. Kathleen sings them with her fine-tuned beautiful voice! Praise Jesus Christ my Blessed Savior!!!❤

    Wow!...And I still remember that cold night on March, in MAINZ (Rheiland Pfalz), GERMANY, in 1990, when an Argentenian Music classmate, invited me over to watch this Live Direct Broadcast from the CARNEGIE HALL, at a Brazilian girl's apartment; another Music classmate. NEEDLESS to say that I was in COMPLETE, 100% AWE, to watch Ms. JESSY NORMAN and Ms. KATHLEEN BATTLE sing Spirituals...
    In a TOTAL Heavenly manner!! To say that I was utterly blown away by their talent, would OBVIOUSLY be an unadulterated UNDERSTATEMENT. I started to admire, treasure, and cherish Spirituals back home in South America (i.e., Lima, Perú), when in one of my Music Music classes, we were exposed to this REGAL kind of Music genre. Ahhhh...Golden Memories...
    "Youth, treasure from the gods." ("Juventud, divino tesoro," i.e., "Youth, divine treasure.").

      @@georgiaines666 INES ITEN: I don't know when and if you will be getting this message. I went to Buenos Aires from Lima, Perú where I am from in 1986, and I was able to attend a concert at the magnificent Teatro Colón. Are you from Argentina? Si ese es el caso, ¡un MUY CORDIAL saludo de un hermano peruano que en la actualidad reside en Austin, Texas! 👋

      Exactly what I’ve always said about this song! Love it. We’re singing it at my chapel tomorrow - one of my all time faves. You MUST go in and by and through the Lamb. ✝️

    This sat a bit low for Kathy with the beginning phrase croaking as she began. However ... She played with the rest really well. That upper ending transposition was so adorable and completely effective. This entire programme of her and Jessye was raw, deeply humorous and captured a part of Americans culture that is undeniable. Their spirits were dancing. This disc still remains a very special collaboration.
