Superstar soprano Kathleen Battle takes center stage for this recording of the world's most popular works from the sacred music repertoire. Featuring well-known classics like "Ave Maria", selections from Handel's Messiah, and favorites by Mozart, Bach and Rossini, Grace showcases Miss Battle's famous coloratura with spectacular results.

This is the repertoire that made Kathleen Battle an international star and cemented her reputation as one of the world's purest voices. It is the repertoire that continues to fill concert halls and elicit multiple standing ovations at her sold-out recitals across the country. Grace features a moving a capella rendition of the traditional spiritual "Were You There" in the tradition of her most anticipated a capella encore performances.
