Hiroshi ... from my point of view, the only thing the movement has been able to establish factually is the instruments the performers used. The manner Medieaval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical or even Romantic musicians approached articulation, balance and subleties of tone is pure conjecture.
Any so called period instrument player who thinks he/she's got it right is kidding themselves.
The only time that will solve this problem is the invention of time travel.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

One needs to understand how music is composed, for during the great periods of musical history composition developed from, to put is simply, music that was supported by text such as liturgy or poetry to music that was self-sufficient as the tonal and structural vocabulary grew. This aspect of performance is often overlooked.
Of course, period instruments have their own charm, and because composers worked in a sound world their compositions and instruments were working together hand in glove. However, its no use guessing what Mozart would do given modern instruments and techniques - he was a man of his time as we are our day. However, we should allow all music to inspire us, and thus this awareness guides our interpretations. Humans have not changed that much that we cannot empathise with those living centuries ago.
