Salient Makes Another Mistake
Salient Makes Another Mistake
In paragraph 2 of my review of the Baroque Players Concert in the previous week's Salient, there was a line or two committed in the typesetting which distorted the meaning (and the grammatical sense) of the sentence.
"Peter Walls's approach to Baroque Music seems to be a realisation of the intrinsic emotive force which is present in the music itself: the rhythmic changes which occur within single movements, the subtlety of phrasing, and a tightness and control of overall rhythm and dynamics. This is in contrast to a more popular style which tends to regard the notes on the page as being rather uninteresting...."
The bit about the contrast was important, as my comments about "the popular style" were not very complimentary, and not meant to be direct to the Baroque Players, which is the way it read in last week's issue. The last thing I wanted was to run down a group as good as they are.
