Good morning, J.S. Bacchus! We are running way late this morning. I blame the patchy fog

Good morning Rob!

Today we're comparing different performances of pieces of music!

That's a great idea!

Might you be comparing PDQ Bach's version with a normal I mean serious version?

JK!!!!

😂😂😂

Love PDQ Bach

He is amusing!

Greetings and Good Morning to Bacchus, Rob MD and all listeners

Mr Klemperer received a recommendation card from Gustav Mahler in 1907 and carried it with him until his death in 1973

Good morning Patrick!

Not a classical music student myself but I wonder if this HIP movement is related to the Performance Practice Puritans often denounced by former PRB host Teri Noel TOWE.

Interesting, I'm not familiar with these Performance Practice Puritans! It may indeed refer to the same movement

This is a terrific theme. I appreciate the context you’re providing that highlights the contrasts

Thanks Dave!

Thanks for great show and program concept Mr Bacchus. Everyone have a great day

Have a great day Patrick!
