Stunning and beautiful music excellently performed. The level of knowledge about the music of the 16th century has increased considerably in the last twenty years. Any notion that the instruments of that era were not highly developped is put ad absurdum by such recordings.

Bought the two at bargain price which the label offers whenever a new release is out:

Heard Victoria Postnikova"s complete Tchaikovsky reading long time ago and was underwhelmed .... not by the playing but by vast parts of the euvre ....

There are composers I approach with reservation on general principles, and that guy's one of them. For one reason - but not the only reason - he's been responsible for so many dreadful pop songs that required next to no transformation or modification.

And he quoted that himself to. But also Mozart, Bach, Vivaldi and others are pretty commercial boys also !
