This Guide to Period Instruments endeavours to answer the questions that every lover of early music has about the instruments used in these periods of music history. Text and recorded excerpts describe the origin and the development of every musical instrument from the Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century and place them in their historical context. There is a completely new presentation booklet, over 200 pages long (83Mb) 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.

Ensemble Millenarium, Continens Paradisi, Capilla Flamenca, La Caccia, Les Basses Réunies, Le Poème Harmonique, Les Agréments, La Gioa Armonica, The London Classical Players, La Fenice, Doulce Mémoire, Ricercar Consort, Bernard Foccroulle, Rolf Lislevand, Philippe Pierlot, Gustav Leonhardt, Christina Pluhar, Jérémie Papasergio, Jean-Marc Aymes, Marcel Ponseele, Guy Van Waas, Paul Goodwin, Roger Norrington...

Sorry, I know it's important but there's no booklet in the RAR.

Cantus has performed an invaluable service for fans of early music by assembling a CD that demystifies the assortment of archaic instruments found in historically correct performances of Medieval and Renaissance repertoire. For anyone who has puzzled over the difference between a shawm and a bombard, a vielle and a vihuela, as well as anyone just curious about the wealth of wonderful but unfamiliar sounds in early music, this CD is a treasure. The collection groups the instruments by families (bowed strings, plucked strings, keyboards, winds, etc.), and offers tracks not only of each instrument playing by itself, but with other instruments and with voices in the most common period groupings. The performances, mostly taken from recordings in the Cantus catalog, but some made especially for this project, are clean and direct -- nothing fancy, but just right for doing the job of familiarizing the listener with the sounds of the instruments.
