Hugs and kisses but no: I've said in the past that the OSR sounds delightfully HIP

A year ago I mentioned how refreshing I found Amsermet's Brahms, because of its HIP-like clarity and liveliness, and that was long before the darkness had fallen.

But back then, one was allowed to venture beyond the Binary without upsetting the fanatics.

But seriously, the parallels should be obvious to anyone.

When I talk shop with fellow musicians and music lovers, I expect the context and caveats to be understood: Yes, Newey's heard that HIPsters don't use vibrato. That they play fast. That they're bass light. That they flub, etc.

**Of course** the OSR players use vibrato, of course they employ the modern standard number of string bases, (or at least newey's minimum standard, unless it's since been revised up to 10, now that he's looked at a pic of the Berliner bass section : ) and, well, Amsermet was usually pretty expedient.

It was just amusing to me that newey was singing the praises of one of the few ensembles that was unwittinglying HIP ( for reasons that you know and dont need to be told), even before the movement began.
