CD ReviewsGreat teaching tool Richard R. Bunbury | Roslindale, MA United States | 03/30/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "If you are teaching (or interested in learning about) Medieval and Renaissance musical instruments, this is a valuable tool. It consists of performances of realized or existing pieces from both historical periods using instruments alone and in various authentic combinations with and without voices. I teach Music History at a music conservatory and find that this is a wonderful supplement to Grout/Palisca/Burkholder's A History of Western Music. I use the recording along with a PowerPoint presentation I've created with various images of the instruments being played by modern players and in period iconography. The "Dictionary" also has a nicely detailed booklet with useful supplementary information on the instruments, their uses, and the literature. Most importantly, the performances are high calibre. Fortunately, what it does not do, is have a narrator or a demonstration of instruments playing scales."
