The Schubert used in "Barry Lyndon" and "John Adams" is, as you indicated previously, used to good effect to evoke a mood. It's also close enough to being "in period" to appear "in period," i.e. it is not jarring. To me, there is a huge difference between using music to evoke a mood that is not in period and actually depicting a performance of out of period music by musicians in the production... then again, if you really enjoy the production, you are willing to look beyond even jarring music that is out-of-place, e.g. "Ladyhawk" and it's hideous sound track performed by an eighties rock band... was it Toto?

In re Schubert (I know, sounds like a legal case)
