“I’m haunted by ghosts. When I heard Regina and Osvald out there, it was just as if there were ghosts before my very eyes. But I’m inclined to think that we’re all ghosts, Pastor Manders; it’s not only the things that we’ve inherited from our fathers and mothers that live on in us, but all sorts of old dead ideas and old dead beliefs”

“Relatively few musicians know much about the pre-Bach period and the complications of its performance practice, and this militates against performances. In addition, audiences tend to find the music archaic, or lacking in personality, or just plain dull. It is an unhappy state of affairs, but there it is.”
—Harold C. Schonberg, The Lives of the Great Composers
