As New Yorkers get ready to brave the ice, frost and snow, English tenor Mark Padmore joins us with a shivery assortment of music. We hear about Schubert's song-cycle Winterreise, which Padmore has performed with jazz pianist Ethan Iverson and is now taking to Lincoln Center in a new theater production featuring Samuel Beckett poems. And we’ll delve into Padmore’s recordings of Bach’s Christmas Cantatas and Handel’s Messiah, among other wintery favorites.
Dec. 9-11: Mark Padmore appears in the US premiere of "One Evening," a theater production that explores the effect that Franz Schubert’s music had on Samuel Beckett at Lincoln Center.

How much was Louis Armstrong aware of Miles Davis's innovations in the late 50s with "Kind of Blue?" Did he feel behind the curve given all that was happening with modal, post-bop jazz?
I learned to love Mark Padmore from a recording of his Handle Opera oratorios or solos released about three years ago. It touched my heart, in particular, his rendering of Waft her Angels Through the Sky,from Handlel's opera, Jeptha. I bought the CD and listen to it regularly when I want to listen to Handle. He is a wonderful performer, with a perfect voice for these kinds of songs. I am so pleased to see him receiving greater recognition that is so deserved and doing more recordings.
