musica Dei donum
CD releases
This list contains recently released recordings. It has been put together from several sources. Additions and corrections are most welcome.
The list is divided into two sections: first all releases devoted to one composer or a couple of composers. When works by more than one composer are recorded, the CD is alphabetised on the 'main' composer; otherwise on the first composer in the alphabet. After that follow the 'collections': CDs which contain works by three or more composers.
The name of the label and the reference number link - if possible - to a site with more information about the release.
The addition 'DDL' refers to digital downloads; such recordings are mostly not available on CD.
Many record companies have a website. For lists look at Medieval Music & Arts
Foundation or at Early Music Links.
At the bottom of this page you will find links to previous lists with CD releases.
N.B. Musicians and/or ensembles which want their new discs to be included in this list can send me an e-mail: jvveen@ziggo.nl.
There are two conditions:
- the use of period instruments (if relevant)
- a link to a website with details about the disc
