On vibrato: I like some, but not too much. Some singers speak as if it were automatic, but on wind instruments it must be under conscious control. It's probably less appropriate on period instruments, which makes me wonder about the wobble on Rod's old period instrument recording.

The earlier attempts at period instrument performance usually made little attempt to modify the use of vibrato, they just played basically as their modern counterparts would do. Whereas today you can hear long stretches of music without barely any perceptible vibrato whatsoever.
