Usual UK pronunciation was LEP-pard. It's a little chancy to say that he was "one of the first major conductors to perform baroque opera" - since that was in fact how he made his name. And it isn't just an issue of musicology to find his editions of Cavalli and "Poppea" for Glyndebourne a problem - he more or less rescored them all for modern orchestral ensemble, and in the case of Cavalli, added material from other operas. Immensely successful though they were, in the theatre and on record, they aren't often revived these days, where texts closer to the original are preferred. This by the way isn't opinion, or POV.

"While musicologists considered his editions controversial..."
The comments above may point to the reasons why musicologists (some? consensus? all?) had issues, but the article itself needs a referenced explanation.
