Annotation

Sub-Optimal Credits
Some instruments in the credits are not in the Musicbrainz instrument tree, so have been represented in some other way:

  • Oboe da caccia (oboe; this goes for all oboes on this release)
  • Pardessus de viole (viola da gamba; this is only for Tullo Galli - the other instances of viola da gamba are called that in the credits)
  • Viola da braccia (viola)
  • hand drum (drums)

For some track it is only noted that a particular instrument is played, but not which of the musicians when there are two people playing that instrument on the release. That's what the unknowns are for, so they are here always one of two people, found in the credits for the whole release.

Also tracks A4, A8, B2, B7 have "strings", so there some or all of the string musicians listed in the credits for the whole release are playing.
