'Arte-Deco' applied to music
on: November 10, 2009, 11:51:06 PM
I have heard this term used in music critique, but I do not understand what it is supposed to mean.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

Where have you heard it, and in what context? I personally haven't heard this term applied to music (only visual and graphic art), but I have an idea what some critics might mean by this.

Mostly applied to Bach performances. E.G. look at the comments of this video
