Look for recordings using the terms "period instruments", "historically informed performance" (HIP), or "early music". There are several ensembles, both orchestral and choral, that perform music in a historically informed way.

- Bud 11y agoThat list is a start, but it's over ten years old now and leaves out a lot of world-class groups. We're actually right in the middle of a golden age of early music performance. I sing professionally with several period instrument groups: American Bach Soloists, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Bach Collegium San Diego, and others. The first two groups I just listed are in the Bay Area, btw, so concerts are readily accessible to readers in Silicon Valley.
