Almost a year ago I attended a beautiful concert of 'Sette Voci' -Peter Kooy, with Viola de Hoog, cello, and Lorenzo Feder, harpsichord-on-top-of-organ, in a programme of Schütz Italian madrigals and Geistliche Konzerte, with a toccata of Frescobaldi and Variationen über 'die Mayerin' of Froberger. Between two pieces, Lorenzo retuned 4 notes, and all was wonderful. Later in the week, the same programme was broadcast live on the radio, and before and in between, there's the commentator. Who in this case did not at all get the point when Lorenzo quickly changed some semitones, as he said that regrettably the harpsichord will obviously not stay in tune, or maybe there is a draft. I felt embarrassed to have that nonsense aired, and am sorry he was not set aright on his 'perceptions'.
