Too many things here I agree with!

I've been getting into MOG as well and enjoying the novelty of an entire range of performances. And your observation about the 78-era recordings matches what I've long found and believed. As I've listened over the years, I've come to be better acquainted with the gradual shift in performance practice from the cylinders of the 19th century to the present. And while there is much that still delights me, it seems to me that the performance of 100 years ago were more expressive, more sophisticated musically, and more compelling withal.
