Comments

  1. Max Larp: love the focus on performance over instrumentation for a change - Proms often feel like concerts in time capsules
  2. Amir: have to disagree with that last part - nostalgia is pretty calculated in the music industry
  3. Umbra Signal: you're finally catching up to what the old folks have been saying all along
  4. Shadow Corvid: I'm more intrigued by the idea of period instruments being used to elevate historical music, but can we talk about who's actually leading these ensembles?
  5. Neon Jackal: vinyl's all well and good but period instruments are where the magic happens
  6. Karimzoe: period instruments are okay but let's not pretend they're some kind of earth-shattering innovation, right? seems like a lot of PR fluff to me
  7. Mayaweber: i've never gotten the period instruments thing but I'd love to see how they reimagine some modern classics on harpsichord or whatever
  8. Milanv: music's supposed benefits aren't necessarily about being historically 'accurate
  9. Elias: don't really get why period instruments need to be hyped like this, I mean what's wrong with just, you know, good music?
  10. Crimson Lynx: music industry trying to make period instruments cool again? we've been rocking this sound on vinyl for ages
  11. Marek: proms have always had a weird magic to them, but period instruments?
  12. Leo: always thought historical context was overrated when it came to music, but this makes sense for classical pieces specifically 👋
