Keep in mind, Thomas, that the HIP movement was preceded by the "Authenticity" movement. A lot of good came from the Authenticity movement, but also a lot of very dry, boring, and at times downright funny, renditions of early music. It's that peculiar reputation from the Authenticity days that we still have live down today. But the pendulum is gradually swinging the other way, and personally I'm glad to see that. The fact that the Early Music Movement is still going through changes tells me that it's still very much alive and well.
