@pcienniwa 'semi-historical' with regard to the baroque. Yes she is playing on transitional equipment and that's great. I don't mean to imply that equipment trumps musicianship. But the equipment is often turned into a selling point and that coupled with the fact that there is anything from little to no precision about morphology among players leads me to quibble now and then.

It's nice that RBP likes to use semi-historical equipment for this repertoire. Have a listen also to Rachel Podger's version of these sonatas. With any luck we will see Podger re-record them with Gary Cooper at some point--their work together on the Mozart sonatas was wonderful.

@AndSendMe Semi-historical? The violin is a 1770 Nicola Gagliano in completely original condition, gut strung/pre-Tourte bow. The harpsichord is modern, though, made by Paul Irvin in the 1980's, I think.
