Music from the Odhecaton ReviewThe doucaine was discovered a few years ago (circa 1969+)in the sunken wreck of one of Henry VIII's war ships. It is somewhat like a shawm but has a mostly cylindrical bore instead of conical, which gives it a somewhat more subdued presence. This recording by Piffaro contains several pieces arranged for doucaine(s). Piffaro ranks among the greatest of early music groups and the guest performers in this recording are equally as great. For example, Kiri Tollaksen playing cornetto is among the
best I have heard (having been at one of her performances this summer). This recording should be in the collection of every person who appreciates early music.Music from the Odhecaton Overview

Stadtpfeiffer: Music of Renaissance Germany Review"Across early Renaissance Europe," begins commentator Robert Kendrick in the insert introduction, "the best-known wind ensembles consisted largely of players from Germanic lands, who took their craft with them to Italy, Spain, and France." This CD features sophisticated, contrapuntal compositions of Senfl, Isaac, Othmayer and Finck, interspersed with delightfully direct arrangements of simpler tunes by the Piffaro musicians themselves. Alternating consorts of recorders and reeds are enhanced by brass, lute, harp and percussion. Core Piffaro members Adam and Rotem Gilbert, Grant Herreid, Tom Zajac, and co-directors Joan Kimball and Robert Wiemken are joined by guests Benjamin Harris on percussion, Christa Patton on harp, and Mack Ramsey on wind instruments. This is my favorite Piffaro recording so far, because of the variety of distinctive sounds and composition styles. There's a bit of everything on here, and all of it very enjoyable to listen to! Done in a similar vein is the group's 2002 Dorian release, "Music from the Odhecaton: Celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the First Printed Music".Stadtpfeiffer: Music of Renaissance Germany Overview
