I’ll keep this one short. Celebrity-packed recordings usually swing between extremes: They’re either a slam dunk or a total misfire. This one—featuring Kathleen Battle, Wynton Marsalis, Anthony Newman on continuo, and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s—is an absolute success. Simply stated, I can’t imagine this music sounding any better.
