Let's face it, was cruel whit Das Alte Works Label since recordings were not bad but not to a level of my expectation or very average, than one day , gave it a try to this following title, making has a second spin on these record of Das Atle Werks worth more attention I have also Ars Brittannica on same German Label and it's does not bite in no way crap, perhaps was too influence by one of my local buddy musicologist eminent, emerit, whom said Das Alte Werk label was not that good either average or poor in quality. well I am not totally sold to this idea, finding Staatsmusik Der Renaissance quite enjoyable the program of this lp is tremendously  captivating,:

What are youe great DAS ALTE WERK recording work mentionings?
Like I said  *? composer I was not aware they existed, not repertoriated in my encyclopedia muscalis so was can concluded there obscur, this is one of the compilation that is a suprise not a tourist trap, it featured Non other than Jachet von Mantua a great favorite of mine.
