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 !

It is heresy for any Brownsfan to say anything remotely flattering regarding Pittsburgh. That said, I will concede that the PSO is a bright spot in that otherwise blighted region. I especially admire their banjo section. :) Schubert, I was also an admirer of Steinburg. My first set of Beethoven symphonies, for which I paid $9, was from the old 35 mm masters with the PSO. I had the pleasure of seeing him guest conduct in Cincinnati back in 1975. He had to conduct from a stool. His Zarathustra was a little ragged, but his Egmont Overture was brilliant. Too bad his work is not better represented in print. I will check out EMA, despite my reservations about its geographical origin.

Al, any Brownsfan can rattle off any number of similarly miraculous plays or series, all of which ended up with the Browns loosing. In addition to the well known Drive and Fumble, you have Red Right 88 and the Dwayne Rudd helmet toss. The list goes on and on.

Len, I'm just not seeing you as a yinzer wannabe. Say it ain't so!
