Worthwhile - I would buy this again.

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The selections evince that the hurdy gurdy was an instrument taken seriously by early composers through Vivaldi and Mozart. The performances are able, but lacking real fire. Maybe more of the hurdy gurdy's sublime nature could have been brought out? The liner notes are useful and provide a decent overview of the instrument's history. Overall, a well done disc, but certainly not essential."
