Your comment made me smile:  Two nights ago I listened to Gardiner's
version for the fist time.  After I while I all of sudden asked myself:
....  but isn't this rather shallow? One piece, I can't remeber which,
made me think about a sewing machine, perfect rythm but dead.

I don't remeber if it was on this list or the bach-list I was member of a
year ago, that there were a fair amount of Gardiner-bashing.  He is anyway
a long way from my favourite Herreweghe.  I have unfortunately nit he his
"Mass".  His new ome on Harmonia Mundi got fairly bad press.  Has anyome
heard it?
