It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Big surprise - NOT: HIPsters have vibrato all WRONG (according to The Strad)

The amazing thing to me is, once the authenticist [my word] recordings came out in the 60's (examples: Harnoncourt's Concentus musicus, Wien, or Pinnock's English Consort), with their sackcloth and ashes approach to vibrato, all the lemming academicians instantly fell lock step in with the party line, with their "vibrato is just an ornament" mantra, and we've been paying the price (in the loss of resources for decent performances of 18th century music in favor of vibratoless authenticist HIP performances) ever since. What a waste!
