I notice that many of the recommendations for intro to classical music are from the Baroque and later periods. These recommendations come from those of you already knowledgeable about about classical music. Are there any of you out there who would like some recommendations on recordings of enjoyable Renaissance music? Particularly those recordings done on original instruments (I'm not very knowledgeable about vocal music). If so, please send me mail, and I will post a list of 5-10 albums to this newsgroup that I think you may enjoy. If you have seen movies like "A Man For All Seasons," "Anne of 1000 Days," etc. and said to yourself about some of the background music, "Gee some of that music is really nice," I'll try to recommend recordings with that style of music. If you ever wanted to know what the predecessors of the "modern" instruments sound like in their own medium, I'll provide a list of recordings that should be very satisfying. Instruments like: lutes, citterns, theorboes, rebecs, viols, viola de gambas, crumhorns, regals, sackbuts, serpents, etc. Jim Collymore

Why do you hang back? Please put your list on the net! Pretty please!! I for one am interested in it. Do we need a survey of interest for every entry? If so, we are doomed! Dick Grantges hound!rfg
