John Dunstable 3.7.22

[Pulcinella]

I have this HMV Classics Hilliard Ensemble compilation, called Introitus, which features both Power's Quam pulchra es and Dunstable's Veni Sancte Spiritus/Veni Creator Spiritus; I must give it a spin, but I think that's it on the Dunstable front (once broke down there, so it's a place I now tend to avoid, and I'd probably want to call myself Dunstaple if I'd been born there!). I've found the Tonus Peregrinus Naxos CD on Deezer and might stream it at some point, given the comments here (levels of scholarship and my cynicism about performance practice and especially pronunciation notwithstanding!).

Yet again the assumption that "academics" - people who've dedicated their lives to an area of study they feel passionately attracted to, must be "dry". This is the 21st century, not the middle ages. "Deciding what's historically correct" is a brutal simplification of the detail and nuance and honest speculation that goes into most scholarly work on music. Surely the world is a slightly better place for the presence of such people in it. Others just want to hear a nice-sounding piece of music, which is of course completely fine, but please don't talk about early music scholars as if they were sour-faced monks.

Apologies RichardB, didn't mean to offend with my generalisation. I wouldn't describe Christopher Hogwood, Trevor Pinnock or Andrew Carwood as dry.
