Redefining Early Recordings as Sources for Performance Practice and History
Project website
ViewOverview
Redefining Early Recordings as Sources for Performance Practice and History was an AHRC-funded research network led by PI Dr Eva Moreda Rodríguez (University of Glasgow) and CoI Dr Inja Stanović (University of Surrey) and Dr Karin Martensen (Technische Universität Berlin, international partner). It brought together researchers, performers, curators, technicians and collectors from all over the world who use early recordings (roughly defined as pre-Second World War) as sources for the study of music history and music performance. The network ran from March 2021 to March 2023.
