In Reply to: The best period-instrument Eroica you've never heard... posted by C.B. on March 23, 2011 at 08:56:54:
I'd forgotten to mention the Collegium Aureum - a very interesting case indeed! Yes, I had many of the Collegium Aureum recordings and I liked them a lot! But here's the interesting thing: near the end of their recorded history, they too started playing without vibrato in the stings! I don't remember exactly when this occurred (late 70's, early 80's?), but I remember being very exasperated by this. It just seemed as if they too had to fall in line with the other HIP groups. I remember seeing that Erioca for sale in the shops, but I don't believe I ever heard it. Your description makes me want to hear this recording, even though I feel very uneasy about the two cellos!
