Friends, Some people here have expressed an interest in historical temperments but are reluctant to take the plunge without hearing some first. I have passed around a copy of "Beethoven in the Temperments", but I am wondering if anyone knows of other recordings in non-equal temperments. For instance, what temperment does Malcolm Bilson, or any of the frequently recorded early music groups use? Are there other disks like the Beethoven one mentioned above, where a contemporary instrument is tuned to a temperment other than equal? I know temperments are a great source of discussion, but my intention is only to find sources for discovering their qualities for musicians. Thanks for any help you can give. Deryck Harnett
