I did it together with Jochen Domning, Wenzel Norzel and the late Klaus
Schmidt. We played from facsimiles, and it may have been due to our own
mistakes in playing that all of it sounded nice and correct.
Not too many pieces and IMO each one worthwhile to be included.

Anne Bailes edited the Tree publication of Vallet's quartets, making a
series of corrections in the process. There are indeed quite a few
mistakes and inconsistencies. The pieces are very enjoyable to play if
one can find a suitable group of instruments (and lutenists!).
There have been several CDs of music by Vallet. My reference is the
recording by Eugène Ferré (Auvidis Astrée, 1997) which includes the
quartets (for which he is joined by Pascal Monteilhet, Jérôme Blum
and
Brian Feehan).
Best,
Matthew
