My job for these 20-odd years includes playing Monteverdi's Maria Vespers a number of times every year; it's safe to say I've played it something like 100 to 150 times by now. Do I want everything, or just my contribution, to be to up to date with my current knowledge of HIP every time, or do I want to give the conductor a chance and give his ideas a try? In practical reality I usually end up doing a bit of both. Over the years I learn, both in what is the latest fashion in HIP, and what works in various churches, with various ensembles, fellow lute players, choirs, soloist, conductors' ideas and whatnot. B-guitar works for me in a number of movements, and I see no reason why not to use it, but I am open to your arguments.
