Were any other early music purists bothered by the "Bach to Bach"
program? I thought that the choice of pieces was very poor to
contrast authentic from modern interpretation. How come Hogwood's
violinists played under-the-chin instead of off-the-shoulder?
Some of those instruments even had chin rests. And he couldn't
find a violone player? I thought only us semi-pros had to make due
with a string bass.
All in all, I thought the authentic consort was much more together
and in tune than the modern consort, but then I'm prejudiced.
Baroque oboist was fabulous! Baroque flutist very precise, but
uninspired. Cooper was in great form.
My vote for THE piece to distinguish modern from early instrumentation:
Mozart Symphony #41.
