Comments:
Information from LP.
This a curious release; the content appears exactly similar to Harmonia mundi 30610 [LP] Tanzmusic der Renaissance, but performers are clearly stated as belonging to Ensemble des Instruments anciens Harmonia mundi with Clemencic as a director; possibly a marketing strategy related to the business conflict of that period between Harmonia mundi (Germany) and Harmonia mundi (France). It should be noted that later these performers started to use the ensemble name "Clemencic Consort".
