I actually like both--depending on the playing and style in both cases--
and agree that what we enjoy is what counts here. To that end there
really is no debate. I just rue the fact that so few recordings are
made of Baroque music these days with modern strings to give me and
others like me more of a choice. Beyond that, I have no argument with
you at all.
