So, no critcs of the critics? To me the following kind of attitudes are pure facism:
"As to purely [modernist] sound – it is utterly inappropriate for all lutes in general, and the baroque lute in particular, as the acoustical properties of the instrument tolerate absolutely no gratuitous dissonance and/or non-traditional methods of producing sound …" Generalizations on generaliztions. Blaming a genre as such. How this kind of thinking is possible today? Well, seems to be the unhappy trend these days anyhow...
