Among the evergreens on this program by Bach, Vivaldi, and "Albinoni", I'm recommending this show for a performance of one of Handel's marvelous organ concertos; although I'm sure some of these concertos have been played in New York over the last several decades, I myself have never been aware of a live New York performance of any of them.  I'm sure you care that Handel's organ concertos were the works that got me not only into Baroque music, but into classical music as a whole.  Anyway, this is recommended even if you're not me.
