Review: A Performer's Guide To Seventeenth Century Music

User Review  - Will - Goodreads

Very well-researched, up-to-date guide with a thoroughly academic tone (in a good way). Too bad they stick it in the reference section in the local university library so nobody can check it out and really enjoy the whole thing. A separate copy in the stacks would be a good idea. Read full review
