Back to the Future: Authenticity and Early Music

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The 'authenticity' of early music, once the pursuit of a coterie, is now a vastly popular phenomenon. But how far is it possible to be authentic? Is a historically faithful approach to performance desirable? Is it merely a 20th-century neurosis or is it a major threat to the traditions of the musical estabishment?
Nicholas Kenyon discusses these and other questions with Julianne Baird , Howard Mayer Brown ,
Reinhardt Goebel , Nikolaus Harnoncourt , Christopher Hogwood , Gustav Leonhardt , Nicholas McGegan , Robert Morgan ,
Christopher Page , Richard Taruskin and Robert Winter.
