A Usenet discussion on authenticity ...
The following 13 posts are reproduced from the REC.MUSIC.EARLY newsgroup and EARLYM-L listserve. The story begins with the author posting a request for recommended "historically-informed" recordings of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos. What ensues is an interesting discussion of HIP, authenticity, period instruments, modern instruments, original orchestration/version, and Thurston Dart, all leading to the thread's most interesting question, "Did Sir Neville Marriner and his Academy of Saint Martin-in-the-Field once play HIPly?"
I hope you will find this an interesting glimpse into the controversial topic of HIP as "seen through" the experienced ears of knowledgeable REC.MUSIC.EARLY participants.
