Hurwitz on vibrato in Vienna

[Alan Howe]

Hurwitz has pointed out that many orchestras/conductors have learned to play this way already, but there are some that are exclusively wedded to HIP practice and they are the problem, I think.
   The question is where to draw the line, if it is possible to do so. I suspect that the debate will continue until we have more comprehensive evidence about 19th century orchestral practice.

DH's demolition job is hilarious and utterly convincing.

Ironically, the 'traditional' way of playing the Bruckner, the way it has been played by the VPO over many decades, IS HIP - informed by those who knew first hand the way it was played in Bruckner's day.

Quite so!
