Worth Noting: Corinna De Fonseca-Wollheim on early music group Les Delices

In 3/15/2015 NYT,  CorinnaDe Fonseca-Wollheim  writes of how early modern music group Les Delices leader and oboeist, Debra Nagy plays a baroque oboe. The instrument  allows her to shape more expressive  notes than she could on a modern oboe. She writes, "One of the most delightful aspects of any performance by Les Delices is this exploration  of the dramatic potential  of pitch- how to curve, stretch or wilt a note in a way that's emotionally resonant."
