This recording is devoted entirely to reconstructions of the so-called "loud" wind repertory of this era. While music was often played by these sorts of ensembles, sources are quite fragmentary. The present program is one of the first major attempts to bring this style to life for music of the late medieval & early Renaissance periods.

A more recent recital:

Dufay: L'alta bellezza
Wind music from 15th-century Italian Courts
Alta Bellezza
Arcana 122
