A Trip to Corsica

Tonight we would like to point you toward two live performances in our fair city on March 22nd: 1) Flutist Emmanuel Pahud will make his only New York City appearance this season at the Metropolitan Museum's Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, performing Bach with harpist Mariko Anraku; we are presenting his recording of Bach's Solo Flute Sonata, BWV 1013. 2) Pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard and the Czech Philharmonic will perform Dvorak's Piano Concerto in g at Carnegie Hall; WNYC gives you the same piece and the same orchestra, Ivan Moravec on piano. But the item that will really make your ears perk up is the "Missa Corsica in Monticellu," an hour-long recording in which a Corsican Mass from the Baroque era is reconstructed, sung in traditional fashion by the group A Cumpagnia, accompanied for the most part on a historic 1733 Monticello organ.
