Now if not *HIP* ( an Historically Informed Performance) - it is surely
intended to be a musical performance!
So, is the articulation musical? What purposes does it seem to serve?

Since the recording " stands on its own merits" - what merits might those
be? Answer that and you have defined the *modern* performance practice of
*our era* (or is that really a decade ago? or maybe two.. ;-) )
