At the moment, though, I like HIP (certain performers) applied to the high baroque as well, mainly because of the heightened sense of dance elements, and the extra "colors" and "textures" that the instruments afford.
If you'll indulge me, listen to #3, Allegro, from La Primavera, (Vivaldi's Four Seasons) below. Wonderful! Lilting! (And if people like Tasmin Little's recent Four Seasons with montovani- oops, modern strings, that's wonderful too!)
