This hard-to-find compilation brings together collections of 17th-Century dance music for various combinations of recorders, crumhorns, cornamuse, kortholts, doucaine, Rauschpfeife, garklein Flötlein, great-bass rackett, sackbut, lute, minstrel’s harp, harpsichord, ottavina, regal, bells and percussion, in lively performances by the Praetorius Consort conducted by Christopher Ball. Originally released in 1976 to critical praise and previously available on Arion and EMI, this value-priced anthology rivals all full-price alternatives.
“Highly recommended for anything from a Renaissance theme party to a serious examination of dance music in the early 17th century.”
