With Johannes Ciconia (1370 - 1412) we go back to the Early Renaissance.
For further introductions: the Amazon reviews are very informative.

Well two people I respect on this forum are equally happy with this ensemble. I will start with some recordings of them, any recommendations?

Posted my reply at the Early Music Club. :)

Since I love historical Italian organs, at the sale on Amazon.fr I couldn't resist picking this up together with another volume from the series:



On six historical organs from the region of Puglia an array of organ music is performed, composed by: Alessandro Scarlatti, Bernardo Storace, Giovanni de Macque, Giovanni Maria Trabaci, Franceso Lombardi, Giovanni Salvatore, Gregorio Strozzi, Giovanni Battista Fasolo, Giacomo Insanguine and Giovani Battista Pergolesi...

I hope, Harry, your number of respected people isn't limited to two people, as used to say an old member, now gone for three or four years.  ;D

O, dear me no, I was only referring in respect to particular recordings.
Of course my dear friend I respect a lot of people on this forum, you being among them.
I am so sorry for the confusion. 0:)

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

There wasn't confusion at all, dear Harry.

I just wanted to recall our old member Stuart (coopmv)... 

He respected Que (good choice, no doubt) and one not revealed name (smart move!).  ;D

Bartok's Music For Strings Percussion And Celesta - Pierre Boulez, cond.

Great recording. I think I do, however, prefer Boulez's earlier performances of these works on Columbia (Sony), but I can appreciate the level of maturity and wisdom he brings to his remakes.

Marvelous recording, and good to see you back. Your part and parcel of GMG as far as I am concerned.
