Hmm--I wonder if Respighi's nightengale (sp?) record caused the same furor. (Not to mention that it may take a period-instrument mindset to bring it off with a 78-rpm turntable rather than a laptop computer nowadays!)
Don't be silly, Aaron. A true period-instrument person would insist on using a real nightingale, or possible a small flock of them, since it has proved rather difficult to train birds to respond to a conductor's cues. Somewhat like opera singers.
