Dan,

By HIP, I mean Historically Informed Performance. Sorry that was unclear ! I
agree with what you say. I think that it would have been a more important
factor to Meyer due to the time of her recording and I haven't found any
evidence to say that Goodman considered it. I just wasn't sure about Brymer
since although performance practice was not prominent in his time, I
wondered if he himself had done research into the area to produce a
'historically correct' performance. Maybe he just worked hard at the
Concerto to produce a great recording without taking anything else into
consideration ??
