Collection: Historically Informed Performance

Historically Informed Performance (HIP) is a musical approach that seeks to recreate the original sound and style of early music as authentically as possible. This genre encompasses various periods and styles, with a particular focus on Baroque music, as evidenced by the subgenre of Barockinterpreten. HIP musicians meticulously research and employ period-appropriate instruments, playing techniques, and performance practices to bring centuries-old compositions to life. The Dutch Classical Piano subgenre highlights the importance of regional interpretations within HIP, showcasing the unique approach of Dutch pianists to classical repertoire. Through careful study of historical documents, instrument construction, and cultural context, HIP artists strive to present audiences with a sonic experience that closely resembles what listeners might have heard during the original composition's time period.
