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 !

I went to a game years ago between the "Stillers' and Cleveland. All I remember is the drunken fistfights in the stands. This was back when the games were played at the Pitt stadium? Before 3 Rivers, which is now also gone, or so I gather. Pittsburgh, for me, is best captured in the Deerhunter. Yeah, I know it's a pretty depressing movie....
Bill, I root for the Vikes and have since '61 when they were founded . Don't know why, I was in Germany at the time and had never been to MN.
That said, IMO football has descended to a level where I really don't much care about it,much less lose sleep over who wins or loses.
There was a similar mag that Gramophone itself was publishing, named Gramophone Early Music. I have issues 1-4 from 1999-2000, which I found at Tower Records. I never saw any more issues, and had forgotten all about it until I saw this posting. The mag was great in it's coverage of "period informed" Baroque performers. I'll have to look at B & N for this new one, thanks.
Bdp25,if not in your local store try web instead , B& N doesn't put a mag like that in many of its stores.

I just now Googled" Early Music America" ,like the mag itself their web site is very classy .
Okay--if Pitt is in the top five US orchestras, which of these are not: NY Phil, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, LA Phil, Seattle, Minnesota...
