Post Subject: "Period Music", vs. Music, PeriodPosted by Paul S on: 5/22/2026
Thanks for the tutorial, Robin! And thanks for sharing David Guerrier. His playing is so fresh and (awake and) alive, and so Musical, and ditto the orchestra and the conductor. I am thinking of several pieces I want to hear David G play. I remember back (1960s) when "authentic period music" was popping up everywhere, including in movie soundtracks. I confess I was put off by most of this "historically accurate" play on "period instruments", and to this day I have not warmed to it. I suspect this had as much to do with the interpretations/orchestration and the playing as it did with the instruments. In any case, I never tried to keep up with it, so no idea how it may have "progressed" (if one can apply this term to "period reenactments").
Best regards,
