Kathleen Battle, Wynton Marsalis: Baroque Duet Part 01

[@ClaytonGWilliams]

This is freakin AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I feel like a fly on the wall. They ARE human. lol I don't know why I would think they don't go through the same technical difficulties as other musicians but they ARE human LOL I am all smiles over here.

Well they both had the giggles, and very very happy to see each other. There was definitely something going on.

[@WordWoman111]

One of my favorite documentaries. Two geniuses.

[@LJ-hb5xd]

Absolutely amazing pairing. Her voice and his trumpet are clear as bells. What an enjoyable experience. Thank you.

A Korean university student introduced Kathleen Battle and Wynton Marsalis to me some 20 years ago. He loaned one of their CD's to me. Resurrection College, Canada.

[@TheWriterWalker]

When Kathleen Battle promises, during rehearsal, "I'll work it out," you just KNOW she's going to do just that.

[@DarellJHunt]

I love how his language is just as intelligent as hers even though many wouldn't consider his terminology to be so. I love this pairing.

!!!!!

[@leadingbyxample]

Battle: "How are you doing? Welcome back from Japan!" Marsalis: "I'm doing good now." I be they had such a fiery romance/relationship. Too bad it didn't work out, but the music they created together was some of the best.

[@AJS95060]

The very first song they rehearsed is: Predieri: Zenobia - "Pace Una Volta". Played here much slower than in the final recording.

[@simbad909]

what fun and inspiration i get from watching them do their thang.

[@mountainlinx]

This so wonderful! So much talent in one room!

[@editoracoloratura3936]

She was wonderful!

[@hudsonbailey674]

Positively enjoyable.

[@estevaopequi]

Brava-Bravo!!

[@chloel.8007]

estevaopequi it would be bravi tutti since it's man and woman

[@amazingyear9042]

master chops ... both of them! The Best!

[@lovewalk101]

Not yet. Started watching super late and couldn't stay awake to save my life. Lol. But I get a feeling that I will finish it today. Thank you so much!

[@TheSpaceAlchemist]

Thank YOU for uploading this. I have been looking for this since it aired. Glad I decided to check again. Made my year. Love all the geniuses at work in this piece, especially their coaches.

[@RPenta]

I would like me some Ms. Battle-lovely lady.

[@charlieseable]

Thank you so much for posting this. I looked for it a couple years ago, wanted to post it myself but don't have the means of getting it from my videotape. You are my hero!

[@skankingjoe]

what a treat

[@divolifevlog]

Thanks for Re-posting this!!!!

[@MetuNtr]

Oh, yeah. Watch the two of them in the last 3-4 minutes of the video. See how they are with each other? Wynton is clearly taken with her and she with him. He touches her and her only reaction is to smile and glow. Oh yeah! Even though it didn't work out, I hope they truly enjoyed one another while it did.

[@melanielindsay9367]

So where's the bad attitude diva people talk about? This lady here is warm & ingratiating! Seems to me like others may have been the problem.

[@rebeccacrysdale9852]

I gotta get down to it! such a great line.

[@AJS95060]

My pleasure....

[@lovewalk101]

YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!!! You have no idea of how bad I've been wanting to see this back on here!!!! Made my freaking night! ;D

[@g.raquelvega8043]

Thanks again for your videos. I didn't know they had a romance, buttt it wouldn't surprise me. Take care!

[@melanielindsay9367]

Hope they did. She's human (with the exception of her voice) and deserves to have fun too sometimes, can't be all work. Did she ever marry?

[@NkrumahTure]

Damn...Kathleen Battle is badd!!

[@MetuNtr]

I agree. Music and talent is a natural aphrodisiac. Two people this talented working together would find it quite hard not to take it THERE. It would be like trying to not get wet while standing under Niagara Falls. I hope they did. It would give me something to believe in. I would let me know that there are some things in this world that are worth giving in to.

[@garconfrancais01]

watching them together makes me wonder if they ever had a thing...haha

[@ra15899550]

Yeah, something was "going on" there behind the curtains for sure. Ha ha!

[@AJS95060]

@garconfrancais01 you're not the only one who wonders... read the comment in part 02.

[@AJS95060]

@bigblatino My pleasure.

[@AJS95060]

@dannyelrai My pleasure

[@Playthellgb42]

So what if she is 14 years older? you don't seem to know much about life junior. When this tape was made Kathleen was one of the most beautiful, vibrant, sensuous women in the world...do you really believe that he was thinking she's too old for me? Get real son!!! however just for the record: they were lovers! I have it from an unimpeachable source!!!!

[@fanc.5711]

omigod! that’s amazing! i was already shipping them after watching Bright Seraphim for the first time yesterday! Talk about chemistry!! ❤️

[@AJS95060]

@garconfrancais01 but I don't think so, Wynton is 14 years her junior.

[@melanielindsay9367]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!

[@edivaD62]

Who had the first idea of this duet?

[@rochellewarren5008]

💜💥

[@trumpetrumept]

Wyntonは若い頃から 歌うときは ポンポン ティンティン ポコティンポ って発音するなと思いました

[@AJS95060]

@lovewalk101 Thanks, did you watch all 7 parts?

[@TheWriterWalker]

OK, now, I just love imagining that the woman I see in the thumbnail is a girl in love. Lol. Too bad they didn't become a couple. (Right...?)

[@betando]

What is the first piece they rehearse? Title/ composer?

[@chloewalker8089]

I'm sorry Opera Buff, wrong video. I meant to ask, what is the piece that Kathleen Battle sings before "Let the Bright Seraphim" on this video? Thank you.

[@betando]

"Pace una Volta" - Predieri :) Sooooooo difficult...my trumpeter boyfriend and I have the sheet music but we haven't gotten that brave yet.

[@martamocnikpirc1445]

+betando I would like to get sheet music of this piece - which edition do you have?

[@YagyuDB]

Does anyone know the name of the piece at the beginning?

[@YagyuDB]

I believe it's Su le sponde del Tebro II (Cantata a voce sola con violini e tromba). Much appreciate your uploads.

[@awd412]

how are there 5 dislikes!?

[@Playthellgb42]

Because there are evil and ignorant people in the world who should have been strangled in their cribs!!!!

[@jasonm6468]

Playthell Benjamin I guess in your opinion people should not have an opinion that differs from yours, if they do they should be killed as babies. Your comment reveals your heart. The Nazi's beliefs were sim. to yours. BTW I love Kathleen Battle

[@iestynovich]

Aidan Wada-Dawson I thought that as well..with this playing and singing?

[@MontoyaMatrix]

I see your point, but on this one, it's just too mean-spirit to give these musicians a thumbs down. I don't play the race card either, as Mexican, but how many of those dislikes were RACIST? You bet they were.@@jasonm6468

[@melanielindsay9367]

5 deaf or insane.

[@spencophany]

sorry - these two clearly have a thing - she is all peachy and sweet and all over him - scandalous!! and he is clearly all over her - shameless!! Im offended by the whole thing. Just tawdry and awful. :) - dont come for me now I have been her loyal fan even when y'all abandoned her because of crap :)

[@melanielindsay9367]

Did she ever marry or have children? Voice of an angel!!! 🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤
