It's an interesting field that has provided new ways at looking at and hearing the old music. Of course until we have time machines, we can't know entirely for sure that how exactly the music sounded, but we can arrive at approximation but continually researching and studying the data we have and testing it out. HIPP performance is now getting into classical and romantic music too lately. You can find many recordings of Beethoven on fortepianos now for instance.
Just one more example. The piece is from late baroque. This has very rich thoroughbass improvisation from the harpsichord and guitar. The violinist also does some improvisation:
