I like Elizabethan music - I think if Hindemith had lived long enough, he might have gotten around to exploring these somewhat obscure instruments in some sort of chamber combo.  I haven't run across hearing anyone using these or similar on the classical late-night radio (about the only time they'd run something like that.)
Saint-Saëns, who predicted to Charles Lecocq in 1901: 'That fellow Ravel seems to me to be destined for a serious future.'

None better than this, the classic of the genre:

I have the score of a piece by Petr Eben written for all manner of renaissance instruments. Looks like an adorable piece, but I've never been able to track down a recording. Might be something of a Czech thing, this - I also have a piece by Oldrich Korte for (IIRC) medieval instruments, but I don't find it as impressive as his 'normal' music.

try KAGEL Music for Renaissance Instruments,,.   I've got the 1969 lp but it has been re-issued on cd
