Back in the '60 there was a revolution in progress on the subject of how Baroque music should be played. "Have we all been barking up the wrong tree?" a rather baffled critic asked in 1967 on the occasion of a debate on the subject of performance practice. The fact of the matter was that an obscure Viennese ensemble had begun to spark off some rather heated discussions and that an argumentative and philosophically-minded cellist with a defiant Hadsburg lip ensured its disticntive and controversial image. The pugnacious Austrian was as vehemently opposed to Karl Richter's popular and "Romantic" way of playing Bach as he was to the views of some of his contemporaries, whose attempts to reproduce "authentic" sonorities were, he thought, far too academic.(...)
