Title: Corrections and impressions
Product review: Some corrections:The ensemble's name is "Musica Fiata," not "Musica Ficta," as it states in Amazon's content listing for this CD. It also isn't "Les Saqueboutiers," as stated in J Scott Morrison's review. Also, many of the pieces Morrison speaks of aren't on this album. In short, I don't think Morrison's review belongs here.My impressions of this album: The recording quality is decent but not great. The violin and viol playing are OK, but there are better examples out there. The cornetto playing, on the other hand is quite good. Toss in organs, regals, and archlutes, and you get a wonderful tapestry of sound.Also good is director Roland Wilson's attempt to reconstruct pieces from the incomplete books 2-4 of the Ludi Musici, pieces I assume haven't been heard since Scheidt's day.
