I may end up sick at home watching reruns of the strangely fascinating Ashley Parker Angel show, but the following NYC events are worthy of notice in the next few days: genius gambist Jordi Savall playing solo at Weill Hall on Thursday night and with Hespérion XXI at St. Paul on Saturday; cult baritone Tom Meglioranza singing Schoenberg, Eisler, Blitzstein, Cage, and Bolcom on Thursday at the Neue Galerie's Café Sabarsky (program repeats March 9, overlapping with a Schoenberg Cabaret in Montclair, NJ, at the cool Kasser Theatre); Mode Records presenting Xenakis's monumental multimedia piece La Légende d'eer at Anthology Film Archives (you in Boston should know that Mode is presenting X's Kraanerg at NEC next Tuesday); Columbia Composers featuring their latest tunes at Tenri on Saturday; Philip Glass giving a concert at Third Street Music School Settlement on Sunday afternoon; Masters of Persian Music, namely Mohammad Reza Shajaran, Kayhan Kalhor, and Hossein Alizadeh (whose new CD is a wonder), entrancing Tully Hall; etc.
