IntroductionUn particulier; avocat en retraite; un mélomane, un baroqueux sévère: Les BAROQUEUX are revisionists resisting the post-Romantic mainstream hegemons of the 20th century, conspicuously (or figuratively) against Otto Klemperer, Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan, "normalizers" [a caustic euphemism] of the Baroque repertoire and performance. The pioneers of the movement were, among many others, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt, who began re-exploring and drastically changing the performance and understanding of Baroque music in the 1950s. Generation has surpassed generation in applying new genius to performance.
