This study tells the story of the British early music movement. Since the late-1960s this influential cultural phenomenon has completely transformed the way in which we listen to 'old' music, revolutionising the classical music profession in the process. 40 years on, the influence of historically informed performance is everywhere to hear. And yet the extraordinary rise of 'Early Music', founded on its apparently uncompromising agenda of 'authenticity', has been anything but uncontroversial.
