Baroque trumpet and organ, produce an incredibly powerful sound together. Given a well-selected program and a competent performance, the result is often quite thrilling. Add to this the specific artistry of an Edward Tarr--considered by many the finest baroque trumpeter today--and the combination should be superb. But last Wednesday's recital at Memorial Church was a disappointment. Though the playing was excellent, the program was second-rate: and no amount of techinical accomplishment can redeem medicore music...

It was no accident that the canny old Hanoverian preferred the great volume of the organ to the harpsichord's thin tone at those intermissions. Fortunately, the Sanders audience quieted down in very un-eighteenth century fashion to hear a distinctly unemotional performance by Harriet Wingreen at the harpsichord...
