I don't think it's "totally wrong". Yes, you need a competent musician to play organ, or a skilled orchestra to repeat the partiture of a 18th century composition, but we have a good idea of what it sounded like. The tempo may be a bit of guesswork but probably not too far off. And if it can be played, it can be recorded and listened by anyone.

No, it can't be. Maybe you're rich enough to hire a symphony, but some random laborer in 1885 was not. That's the whole point: everything has changed because music is accessible to the common man now, in a way that it never was before the invention of recorded music.
