Wynton's old classical stuff is SO much better than his recent "interpretations" of repertoire....I wish he would keep it.
-
This sounds to me about as this music should sound: vigorous, beautiful, strong, devoted. I'll just not trouble myself about any other controversies.

I suggest you take a basic human biology/anatomy/physiology class.
It will be enlightening.

@LittleRichOne You're right that the Battle-Marsalis recording is from the album "Baroque Duet," but I was responding to a question in a post 6 months ago from @polymath7, which inquired about what recording Marsalis playing Bach's 2nd Brandenberg is on--that is on the album "Gabriel's Garden." Sorry if it was confusing.

Actually, it's from the "Baroque Duet" CD that she did with Wynton in the early 90s.

@LittleRichOne What is rubbish? Since I made that comment two years ago i have heard recordings of Battle doing this Cantata live perfectly. This recording is an interesting document of the beginning of her vocal decline which was typified by a lack of volume and breath.

What a crock of rubbish!

Awesome!!..
Even if you charge her as horrible or prima donna for one thing, it is also another to state that she has a gift, a voice that is almost as divine. To hear her singing this music is not to point to her but to another, to which this song is addressed.

What a powerful combination; together, they completely dominate the orchestra!
