neutral  LaraBarnett: This term exists but is rarely used. Considering the context of the rest of this text I have seen in other questions, I would say it is the wrong register.

  -> It's definitely not a common word in Romanian either, Lara. You're basically disagreeing with the author of the text, who I assume chose this particular word for a reason. "Performer" I would translate as "interpret".
