theStanford Archive of Recorded Sound
<http://lib.stanford.edu/ars>convened the first/Reactions to the
Record/symposium in 2007 as an interdisciplinary meeting of the world's
finest scholars and performers interested in the legacy of historical
recordings. Past symposia can be foundhere
<http://music.stanford.edu/Events/StanfordMusicSymposium/past/index.html>.
Presenters have included Charles Rosen, Nicholas Cook, Robert Philip,
Joseph Horowitz, Jose Bowen, Malcolm Bilson, and Donald Manildi, among
others.

The symposium highlights work in performance practice that engages
historical recordings as vital source material. Central to this interest
are performances inspired by historical models. Presentations in related
areas include cultural studies in performance, methodologies of
performance analysis, and performance in historical narrative.
