In 1992, Kathleen Battle and Wynton Marsalis joined forces to record Baroque Duets. The set featured works by composers such as Handel, Scarlatti and Bach. That year, Battle earned a Grammy Award for Best Classical Vocal Performance, for Kathleen Battle at Carnegie Hall. Marsalis, whose other studio releases that year involved all things jazz, nonetheless demonstrated that he hadn’t lost a step when interpreting the classical repertoire.
In addition to the album, the duo also recorded video of their performances. While it looks to only be available on VHS, you can thank YouTube and the amateur archivists of the world for making several selections of it available in this digital age. Here, Battle and Marsalis perform Handel’s “Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne,” also known as “Eternal Source of Light Divine.” And it’s a divine performance indeed, with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s sharp support of Battle’s soaring voice and Marsalis’ exceptionally clear trumpet. Listen carefully, and you’ll feel like royalty, too.
