I can give one good example of HIP gone wrong and off the deep end. Roger Norrington's Bruckner. Gawdawful, scratchy strings, sewing-machine rhythms, emmaciated sonority, total lack of spirituality. Just dreadful crap, all in deference to the "Historically Informed Performance" ideology. Bah, humbug.
