the spotify playlist I made of HIP Bach

dominated by Historically Informed Performance which like ok so the 30s-50s were themselves dominated by performances of bach over which prevailed such musical elements as piano, singing like you're an opera lady, and flutes and violins that look the way they do now. whereas in the 1960s certain scholar-conductors started being like, "hey, we should play this music as it would have been heard by 17th century audiences, as bach would have intended it to sound" and so they started using violins that look really big and flutes that look like recorders (as they did in the 17th century) and the ladies in the choir started singing like sirens (no vibrato, singing every note "straight") and instead of pianos there are harpsichords. to me the belgian conductor philippe herreweghe is the absolute icon of historically informed performance (aka HIP), along with his performance group the collegium vocale gent, and a lot of this list is him too. I think this kind of performance ethic is really salutary for listeners and I think a lot of the recordings of performances in this style are much better than the recordings that document other kinds of performances
