“Holman convincingly suggests that they were intended primarily for performance on a French-style violin band, or a lute combination (a group of four lutes play together here), and there is the instrumentation that he very refreshingly offers.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Praetorius - Dances from Terpsichore, 1612Recorded 1980s
An impressive array of authentic instruments are employed on this recording, details and drawings of which are to be found in the Syntagma Musicum. These range from lutes, theorbos, cornets and sackbuts, to shawms, rackets, curtals and sorduns, as well as percussion instruments such as tabors, dulcimers, tambourines and timpani. These Dances are written around French melodies and airs, however the dances themselves come from numerous geographical origins, including England (Bransle), Latin-America (Sarabande), Netherlands (Spagnoletta) and Italy (Passamezzo). The instrumentation on this recording is based upon knowledge of the instruments available in Germany at the time of composition. Complete instrumental listings for each Dance are detailed in the booklet, which also features drawings of some of the instruments. All performing versions are prepared by Philip Pickett. “One of Pickett's best albums, if short measure; but the booklet's attempt to distance if from Munrow et al is nonsense - the Parley of Instruments (Hyperion) offers a more radical take on these lovely dances.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 **** “Philip Pickett’s instrumentation (based on the illustrations which act as an appendix to the maestro’s second volume of Syntagnma Musicum of 1619) is sometimes less exuberant than that of David Munrow before him; but many will like the refinement of his approach, with small instrumental groups, lute pieces and even what seems like an early xylophone! The recording is splendid.” Penguin Guide *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
