Here's a nice historical irony for you:  composer Jean-Baptiste Lully emigrated from Italy to France, where he established a French Baroque musical style that went to musical war with the contemporary Italian style — until a synthesis was achieved by subsequent generations.  In this interesting program, the crack New York Baroque Incorporated ensemble plays a little bit of Lully and then traces the music that came after in various countries, via Muffat, Handel, Mondonville, and Telemann.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm going to keep pushing Atlas Kitchen, which has a much more interesting Chinese menu than you might expect in these parts.
