Most excellent, indeed!
As a youngster (age 17-26) I was involved with a young lady who got her BM* in Harpsichord Performance. She hipped me to a woman (whose name has, alas, fallen by the wayside decades ago) who was a proponent of using ensembles sized & instrumented in the fashion that ol' Johann actually wrote for, at a time when it was far more common to use full-sized modern orchestras; she was revered in Baroque-hardcore circles for telling some famous conductor (also no longer in the memory banks) who was rather militant about doing it with full-blown modernism "That's fine, you go ahead and feel free to play Bach your way, and I'll go ahead & keep playing Bach his way."
Peter
*That's "Bachelor of Music", not a scatological reference.........
