About
There is a completely new presentation booklet, over 200 pages long and abundantly illustrated, as well as eight CDs of recorded examples of the instruments that shed new light upon major periods of music history.
These excerpts have been drawn from the Ricercar catalogue for the most part and are completed by new recordings made for the purpose as well as by material made available to us by other specialist recording labels. This 'Guide to Period Instruments' is a perfect synthesis of the music lover's thirst for knowledge with the sheer pleasure of hearing these historical instruments.
