News of musical doings in Boston has been somewhat harder to come by since the demise of Christina Linklater's blog, St. Botolph's Town, thought Matthew Guerrieri's vastly engaging Soho the Dog does toss us the occasional bone. That's why it was such welcome news to learn this afternoon that the semi-permeable website of the Boston Globe has a page devoted to compiling recent articles and reviews by Jeremy Eichler, its new classical music critic and formerly a valued contributor to The New York Times.
I don't envy Jeremy the task of following the legendary Richard Dyer, but he's a distinguished critic in his own right, one always worth reading. (I suppose it's fair to say I've been attempting to fill one of his shoes since his departure.) Go here to bone up on all things Levine, Emmanuel and Jordan.
