Zankel Hall - 7th ave/57st

Checking out the brand-spanking new Zankel Hall for an evening of baroque chamber music played with period instruments. The small auditorium creates an intimacy of a jazz club, but with the acoustic design of a first-class concert hall. Especially the historic wood-winds, show how much technical evolution there has been in this area - but also how the particularly warm tone of those oboes and bassoons has become more precise versatile and neutral in the process.
