That sounds much more like a typical Pierre Audi choice - I think Audi did something similar in his production of Monteverdi's Ritorno di Ulisse at the Nederlandse Opera, for instance...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2452898368844841110.post-28163132915805481692010-03-16T12:09:06.997-07:002010-03-16T12:09:06.997-07:00Dear Johan (if I may),
I completely agree with yo...Dear Johan (if I may),<br /><br />I completely agree with you.<br />This is a major problem with Early Music nowadays, and some of the people seem to be more interested in learning just a few rules to go on stage to play as many concerts as possible, instead of reading, studying, analizing, asking questions and why not, making still experiments.<br /><br />You didn't mention about the standardized A=415 / Vallotti, and the dogmatic use of critic editions, with the result that musicians often perform the mistakes which are published in the score, because they didn't check the manuscripts... (these problems often recur in the HHA - Halle Handel Edition, where there are many incongruences, mistakes and very unclear modernizations).<br /><br />I stand against the superficiality and the arrogance of some of my colleagues, and I hope I will have always the strenght to work seriously, with humble and respect for the music and the composers we perform.<br /><br />Let's hope that the new generations of musicians will take the challenge of bringing HIP a step forward.Marco Vitalehttp://www.contrastoarmonico.eunoreply@blogger.com
