In Reply to: The artificial lack of vibrato is instantly recognizeable in HIP performances posted by Chris from Lafayette on February 23, 2015 at 08:34:15:
"the strings' vibrato is rationed in a quasi-totalitarian way." Who is being absurd here, Chris? Again, I have worked with McGegan multiple times. Your comments in no way bear any resemblance to how he works (one of the nicest, least controlling conductors I have ever worked with), or what his performances sound like. Everyone here can judge for themselves. And I cannot resist asking if you also find it absurd that modern string players also do not match a singers vibrato when accompanying them? Who is really being disingenuous here?
