A friend of mine is a violinist and has a recording of them out and
performs them regularly. He's a modern violinist, but he played
extensively with Laurette Goldberg (founder of Philharmonia Baroque)
when he lived in San Francisco, and she taught him a lot about
Baroque dance styles, and he's very much historically aware in his
performances. He's told me that whenever he played Bach in
competitions the judges always said they loved his playing, but
marked him down for it because it was "non-traditional."
Very annoying.

Well, I should hope not!
I do wonder what kind of intonation your friend used. In my opinion this
is actually the biggest difference between a modern and a good period
instrument performance.
