Is medieval supposed to apply to the HTML layout as well?

I've been using this site off and on for years. The discographies are the best part. And no, the layout has never gotten any better, but at least they provide some good info.

Not something I'd seen before but something I'll definitely be checking out. Thanks!

Thanks! I've just peeked into early music, after hearing John Jenkins' Fantasia suite in A Minor. Now I have another rabbit hole of interesting music.

I've been listening to these two albums in various forms for decades:

• Praetorius, Widmann, Schein - Tanzmusik Collegium Terpsichore, Fritz Newmeyer, Archiv 198166, 1960
• Tanzmusik Der Renaissance, Ulsamer Collegium w/ Konrad Ragossnig, lute, Deutsche Grammophon 2533111, 1972

The cites sites both. They've been available since 2005 remastered onto a 2-CD set (Deutsche Grammophon 469244-2)

I never grow tired of them. Spirited performances and a great place to start.
