Good music is born now

Baroque flutist Barthold Kuijken doesn't like the term "early music." He says, "It doesn't exist. Good music is born now." Kuijken is the world's foremost player of the traverso, the Baroque wooden flute, and a philosopher of music. He joins host Fred Child in the studio today for music and conversation about the Baroque flute, and performs works by Couperin and Telemann.
