I have to say that the bulk of the book is something like a big sloppy Valentine to Christopher Page and Gothic Voices. While I am also a great admirer of Page's work, I am a little incensed that a reviewer admits to deliberately panning commercial recordings with the intent to advance one point of view. Ethics? RA Yes! that is indefensible. It seems to me that the "Early Music" movement has always been about the instruments - the more unusual or exotic the better. And I suppose Gothic Voices etc. are a kind of re-action to the David Munrow approach. But - instruments must surely have been involved in all sorts of music making. Otherwise why do they feature so prominently in paintings, church sculpture, stained galss windows and the like. It is all a matter of degree. You dont need an orchestra but a harp or lute seems appropriate in most circumstances.
