There is much instrumental diversity to be found here: countertenor, organ, harpsichord, recorders and viola da gamba are all heard in various combinations. La Romanesca's recording presents Frescobaldi's music according to the diversity of his virtually interchangeable canonzas; interchangeable since the titles under which they were published do little more than specify that they were suited for ogni sort di stromenti. It also includes a selection of the composer's lesser known solo vocal music.
