Unearthly Voices: Past and Present
With Arthur Zimmerman

Old records contain living, breathing clues as to how music was performed in the past.
The ethos and fashion of music-making has shifted over the years in weird ways and for bizarre
reasons and we'll explore one particularly strange taste that's returning to fashion. Like other
performance practices, classical Baroque and early Romantic, the truly authentic has been lost.
We can't re-create this ancient style from verbal descriptions but we can get significant
evidence of how it may have sounded from studying the recorded legacy of one very late hold-over.
Like in the crafting of violins, flutes and pianos, these living instruments were crafted with
little knives, and the whole business is downright creepy.
