highly recommended

Excellent pairing of trumpet and vocals

Although I'm not a huge Baroque fan, Battle and Marsalis do a great job of bringing out the beauty of the voice-trumpet pairing. It really is a must-own for all classical music lovers.

Great CD!

This is a great cd that shows Kathleen Battle's true musical ability, as well as that of Wynton Marsalis! I highly recommend this to any lover of classical music!

No Rating! Just a Blooper Alert!

I came upon this CD while browsing for recent performances of Alessandro Scarlatti. Hey, the notion of soprano Kathleen Battle battling jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis for stylistic high ground sounded like fun, so I clicked the MP3 samples....

If you do the same, you'll find that there's an ensemble loose among humanity, called Battle, making music that's neither baroque nor Jazz.

One of the best recordings ever!!!

Just listen it! If you want to understand the meaning of "virtuoso".
Highly recomended.

Excellent!

I had heard of this album in 1992, and since then I had not found it available in Brazil. Fortunatelly, I've got it through Amazon now. Despite of the fact that it is not played in the strict baroque style, Battle/Marsalis are great, brilliant, and they turn the difficult duets into delightfull virtuosism. The duets were very well selected, and some I did not know until now, which are also wonderful. This is the kind of CD anyone would enjoy, and I do recommend it.
