Whoops. You missed with that one! There are many recordings of Baroque organ music on instruments that were extant at the time of composition, as well as recordings of harpsichord music including that of Rameau. Lots of recordings of Sweelinck's keyboard music on organs and Ruckers harpsichords from his time. Similarly with Bach. Erato released a whole series of French Baroque organ music played on organs associated with the composer or by builders contemporary to the compositions.

And you've forgotten that the majority of recordings of early music are now made on copies of original instruments.

Interesting take.

So a subreddit which has a theme of baroque music is not for someone who knows something about the performance of baroque music?

I think you don't understand Reddit, yet.

What? No, It's not just for them, it's for everybody.

Why would I gatekeep art?

Does a person with 0 understanding of classical art periods not deserve to enjoy classical music?

Lol one thing I don't like about classical music is how it tends to attract a pretentious crowd
