While I am not sure about the vibrado thought, I do think there are trends in style and sound. Classical music is prone to this more than modern because (obviously) it has been around so long and gets repeated (also usually in cycles).A good example of this is in the number of "correct" A (440Hz) tones are specified. I understand it was way down at 400 or so 200 years ago and floated around until recently when someone decided it was 440Hz. And even now some of the violin soloist stretch it higher in concert.

The same with singing. Unfortunately we only have a small sample of recordings compared the the number of years of music. I often wonder what Mozart or Monteverde were listening to when they directed. I honestly think the sound of most music we hear was very different in original form. Adn that does not even tought the rhythm. Sounds like a thesis proposal to me.
A closer time frame can show some real differences. Take popular song from the 1940s to today. Pick a part like alto and follow it through. Compare Broadway in the original Oklahoma with the current one. Very different. In this case a lot has to do with electronics and miking.
Compare Julie London to Dianna Krall. More than just different singers, different styles. Both miked.
So yes.
