From the point of view of the humble listener this statement is quite wrong, as was illustrated for me when I heard Joanna McGregor (at the Huddersfiled Contemporary Music Festival would you believe) play Dowland's Forlorn Hope Fancy on a grand piano. Have a listen to it on her CD 'Play' . You may or may not like the interpretation, but as a live concert piece, in amongst other pieces from this CD, it was a stunning musical experience. (OK, so that's renaissance music but the point still holds.)
