I got complementary tickets to some very expensive events this
year because I was going to write them up for the American Recorder
magazine.
The issue with the BEMF coverage is now out, and as usual, the
very able editor, Gail Niklaus, did a very good job of editing for
length and content without distorting my opinions.
Because there was so much editing for length, I’m going to post
the originals of
a couple of articles where I think I said interesting things that
got edited for length, or in one case possibly for insufficient
reverence to the gods of early music performance.
