I know of the book but don't have it yet. But I know Taruskin also
from a second hand relations. So I must tell, I don't feel as a
victime of any crisis without access to medicine. Do you think I
should apply myself the same mental disease?
Obviously 25 years ago, when I was reading with flushes on my face
all available (and unavailable) sources, listening to the stars of
EM, giving interviews with myself (oh, yes)... I thought the early
music movement will last for ever ;-)) Now I've happily forgotten 3/4
of those books and the feeling of a mission. Music will always be
fresh and modern, whatever you could say about a particular style or
a piece. One thing is well to remember -- we are permanently
reproducing the past, either conciously or unconciously, including
the music (not only since 1950s or 60s), just reproducing in
different clothes. And in music, as in arts, the dress is the thing.
So I wear my music as I like or am able...
But I know ''the sources'', only my mics are not that good ;-))

You should check out Bruce Haynes book "The end of early music", it

great antidote to the recent crisis that the HIP movement received

Taruskin's writings.
You can read a few pages here....

Of course, the paradox concernes us, creators and consumers of music
and our vision of the modern phenomenon called ''historical music''.
It is a fancy interplay between science and art, it's a modern thing
in music history -- isn't it?, and in a way quite logically it's
''modern music'' as well, however strange it may sound to all.

I agree, Jerzy, but isn't it rather the paradox(es) of so called

These are paradoxes of the so called historical music.
