Baroque Duet
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, February 11, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Soprano Kathleen Battle and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis teamed up in 1992 for an album called Baroque Duet on the Sony Classical label. The pairing of Battle's exquisitely pure tone and Marsalis's virtuosic brilliance makes for beautiful arrangements of baroque favorites like Handel's "Let the Bright Seraphim." We sample several tracks from this excellent partnership on this week's program as part of our celebration of Black History Month.
