It is my understanding that the "historically
authentic" practice that blossomed in the 1980s of
singing Baroque music with as little vibrato as
possible has since been debunked by the majority of
scholars on the subject. But again, as I'm not an
expert on this subject, I leave it to our other
historians and professors on the list to either refute
or affirm. My understanding is that the current
scholarly opinion does not support the straight-tone
method of singing early music that came into vogue a
couple of decades ago.
