Many thanks to Nancy and Denys for the interesting Renbourn interview from
LSA Quarterly Sept. 06!
Especially funny to read about the Newsidler "Judentanz" that had
musicologists baffled in those early days because they couldn't read the
German tablature properly (dash above cipher) and therefore totally
misjudged the piece as an atonal piece centuries ahead of its time.
Luckily, thanks to David Munrow who was there on recorder, they were able to
put things straight. But they still bowed to contemporary musicologist
knowledge and recorded a faulty atonal version as well.
Shows you never to put too much trust in your contemporary musicologists!
He-he ;)

I am also a big Renbourn fan and agree that he has great technique.
Those early records of his were a big inspiration years ago. We
published a nice interview with him in the LSA Quarterly a while back.
I anyone does not have it email me and I can send you a copy.
