That may be true, but if you go back far enough in the history of recorded sound, some pianos on those old recordings sound as if they might have vibrato! ;-)

True dat. Funny, before I (wisely) decided not to delve deeper into this debate, I read an online review of one of my favorite baroque flutists, Stephen Preston, who has performed and recorded extensively with Christopher Hogwood, Nicholas McGegan, Trevor Pinnock, etc.
This reviewer slammed Preston -- for using too much "modern vibrato" in violation of proper historic performance practice! Wow. Just the kind of dufus Chris from Lafayette is complaining about. So I'm not pursuing this discussion any further. ;)
I feel sorry for pianists.
They can't have it and they can't do it.

. . . as in some of those Glen Gould videos where he rolls his finger back and forth on the key during sustained notes. Not as good as the real thing, but I applaud the gesture! ;-)EDIT: I seem to remember that there are some piano pieces by Balakirev where he specifically marks "vibrato" in certain spots! ;-)
