Early Music aka Historically Informed Music


Ran across a mag called EMAg, " The Magazine of Early Music America" today at Barnes and Noble as I was picking up my Gramaphone
I never heard of it before and was thrilled there even is such a thing.
Absolutely WONDERFUL rag, pure class throughout, covers the entire scene in USA, great reviews and very well written high-level articles .
Some for the musician that a serious listener can grasp with some effort,
and there is nothing but good that comes to one who tries.

Out of Pittsburg , a Quartely, 6$ a pop.

There is indeed a thriving early music scene in Pittsburgh and Cleveland both, as well as pretty much every other major musical center in the US. The Pittsburgh Symphony is one of the very best in the nation now, as well, easily in the top five, anyway. I am always surprised when people don't know this, as it has been that way for some time now.
Hi Schubert - not sure many in the industry would put Minnesota in the top 10 in the US right now, especially with the great players who were able to leave during that ridiculous lockout. They might still be top 15, though. LA is most certainly in the top ten, I think just about everyone in the industry would agree with that.
