Comments: More folksingers than medieval/renaissance players. Although I found the female vocalists often irritating, I must admit that the choice of instrumental pieces is very pleasing. For me, far better than the previous CD. I had much fun listening to this recording, but maybe sometimes I am a folkie of a certain age
