Hi Bambi,While I'm getting what SSI's objection is I'd believe in your description of things as far as HIP openness goes before SSI's "battle of all battles" characterization. Speaking to musicians who play in HIP-style orchestras and ensembles I've never had a being preached to experience.
Haven't had the opportunity to speak to any HIP-oriented conductors except for Andrew Parrott once, briefly, after a concert. He was very nice, not pushy or "my way or the highway" to anyone he spoke to. In fact, before the concert while he was going through what I guess is his standard one voice per part introductory speech, he didn't make any claims at all. It was more like "Well, we think this may be more like what things sounded like back then... it may sound odd to many of you, but I do hope you enjoy it."
The huge battle and gnashing of teeth? Maybe in SSI's neighbourhood people are more violence prone! I've only encountered nice HIP people in my neighbourhood.
Your AA post descriptions of the conversations you've had/people you've been speaking to are really interesting - makes me wonder about the different people I might have met if I'd become a music professor or instructor instead of an office worker.
Anyway, as a small population sample, none of the friends I have who are also music fans (like 1,000-2,000 LP/CD classical collections) show any concern over HIP or non-HIP. They just get and listen to stuff they like.
