(Smith is one of my favourite gamba players so I will give it time soon.)

July. With the Eroica Variations. The booklet: https://www.chandos.net/chanimages/Booklets/PT6724.pdf

I have a recording of him playing op 106 in Mainz in 2017 -- he's good at Beethoven I think, quite reflective, which suites me more than the usual approach.

Must be original jackets if a single Beethoven quartet is on a CD all by its lonely self.

The stuff that they're saying is first time on cd for this set - isn't that the same early Decca LXTs that were finally released a few years ago in this big box?:

Any thoughts about what the Willaert and Crecquillon is? Or the Josquin? And Isaac?

And who is Vide? The second CD is Dufay, Binchois and Vide?

I'm assuming it includes these recordings

Coming in June:

Interesting, not at least for the lovely, potentially sparkling Fantaisie, which hasn't received that many recordings, relatively speaking. Argerich did a great Debussy Violin Sonata with Gitlis, but this will probably be different, due to his style. And the Cello Sonata is usually a gem (she recorded it before, such as with Maisky).

Considering we should be lloking at the back catalogues of EMI, Virgin and Erato:

The Willaert could be:



Crequillon:



OLD stuff!  And I don't mean the music...

Indeed. I doubt I'll buy the recording, but it'll be interesting to read the reviews.

The Art of the Netherlands was initially transferred onto CD only partially, the situation was corrected in Japan - I don't have the complete transfer myself. Maybe they'll insert the missing tracks for this box.

This: https://www.warnerclassics.com/release/josquin-franco-flemish-school appears to make mention of the second of these, anyway.

Lots of Stephane Caillat on Spotify, it'll give you a good indication of what to expect.

Those of us who already have the sets by Munrow, the Hilliard Ensemble and the like, will be grinding their teeth!

And a lot of old scrapings from the bottom of the barrel....
What does that tell us? That the major companies abandoned Early Music decades ago..

For me, I don't think there is much that appeals apart from the occasional Ensemble Binchois/Vellard recording.
