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.
First time in my long life I sat down immediately after first read( there will be several) and mailed a check for a years suscription !

Thanks for the heads up, Len, but Pittsburgh????? I don't even by Heinz catsup.
May just be printed there?
There is a lot of music there. Even Cleveland has "Apollo's Fire" .
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.
As I am Learsfool.
Pittsburg Sym. first came to my attention in the 70's when they made many stellar recordings on the old Classic Command label with the great William Steinburg at the helm.
The 35mm magnetic film CC recorded on sounded great IMO .
They are still worth watching for today, usually about 15 bucks are they still have fans .
