What annoys me in some sense about the whole "Early Music" business is that ... you know, I have no objection to people performing Bach with a large orchestra-and-chorus or a small orchestra-and-chorus or quartet of saxophones. It doesn't worry me in the slightest. It's when people try and create spurious musicological arguments to justify things that are basically just musical taste.
Thank you Kim, you spoke out of my heart. Early Music today has become a fashion for many, which is successful because it is fast, hip, you name it. There are very few performers who take the whole thing seriously.
I hope to be one of them. Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com http://www.camerata-berolinensis.de _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
