Lines: 21 For those living in the tri-state area. I have just listened and watched a magnificent performance from the Lincoln Center on Channel 13 and WCNC. The performances were by The Academy of Ancient Music from Great Britain featuring original instruments, and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center using modified (modern) instruments. In addition to many marvellous performances of Bach pieces back to back there were a number of most informative interviews and discussions of the relative merits of modern and ancient instruments, improvisation in baroque music, and a most amusing address by Christopher Hogwood. There is a repeat to be run on Sunday 16th at 1.00 on channel 13, unfortunately it doesn't look as if this one will be simulcast. Catch it if you can. Marcus Hand (pyuxt!marcus)
