Going for Baroque
Today on Soundcheck, a look at the state of New York's early-music scene, with some of the leading presenters and performers of music from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Conductor Nicolas McGegan stops by in advance of his performance with the New York Philharmonic, in which he’ll lead Handel’s “Messiah” at Riverside Church. Also, we look at the ongoing debate of whether New York lags behind other musical centers like Boston, San Francisco, and Paris, particularly in the promotion and dissemination of early music. Does New York simply lack a charismatic figurehead that can galvanize support for the art form? Are critics less supportive than elsewhere? Find out as we’re joined by George Steel, artistic director of Miller Theater, and Gene Murrow, general manager of the New York Early Music Foundation.
