I love these old recordings too. Digging out the old LPs is a trip down Memory Lane but also a reality check in terms of listening to what people used to be able to get away with. This week, I listened to a very old LP of Inspector Smith playing Denis Gaultier on an historical lute that couldn't leave the museum, so they recorded in the foyer. I listened to Michael Schaffer playing with astounding sensitivity on an LP from the late 70s. I listened to Eugene Dombois and the Bailes' on an LP of music by Praetorius dated 1973. I enjoy hearing what people had to say about this music I love so much as they were forming their own individual interpretive ideas. We've all learned a great deal from their work but the thing that gives me that tingling sensation of nostalgia is the thought of the buckets of money apparently offered up by record labels, academic institutions, and even governments to make these records. If there is anyone still financing recordings, I'd love to hear from them.
