As a performer of Bach's music for mor than 50 years I can assure you I know of no-one who finds HIP to diminish the music or limit it.
Quite the opposite.
The music becomes far more expressive, more dynamic, richer, and far more human.
Much more difficult? You bet. More open to interpretation, yes but within that as in what to bring out within each passage, and NOT about how heavily to lay on the trowel of rubato, wobble and THICKNESS.
If you love Jazz you should love HIP approaches, despite the nay-sayers here the expression is far richer and varied between and within HIP performances than between say Klemperer, Jochum or Munchinger.
The music and its players were as much working class as middle class and constantly pushed against the envelope of what those in charge wanted or could accept.
It is a good thing that this music was kept going by some musicians.
The instruments sounded more different from each other than their descendants (where they exist) do.
There is no modern equivalent for a cornet (a cow-horn split and glued, with a trumpet mouthpiece), or a basset horn, and all of these missing items were vital to the way the music was made.
