Music Theory, Historically-Informed Performance, and The Significance of Cities by Adam Krims

“…It isolates the feature of wind/string balance, widely touted at the time as an advantage of the HIP approach, and measures them at key points of the movement; the resulting similarities of two of the recordings, both from London-based performers, and their pronounced divergence from the third, featuring East-Coast American performers, suggests the possibility that music workers (performers, but also engineers, producers, etc.) informed each others’ aesthetic preference and priorities, whether implicitly or explicitly. …”
